Tiny Tiny RSS (tt-rss) is one of the longest-running self-hosted RSS feed readers and aggregators, originally created by Andrew Dolgov in 2005 and actively developed for over two decades. It supports RSS, Atom and a variety of other feed formats, with a flexible web-based interface that can be extended through a rich plugin ecosystem. The current codebase lives at github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss after the original tt-rss.org was retired on 2025-11-01 and the project was forked and continued by a long-time contributor.

tt-rss is built on PHP with PostgreSQL or MySQL backends and ships with a built-in article reader, full-text search, OPML import/export, keyboard shortcuts, and a Fever-compatible API for native mobile apps. Plugins add support for things like custom feed processors, rewritten and cleaned article views, and integrations with third-party services. Docker images for amd64 and arm64 are published automatically to both Docker Hub and GitHub Container Registry, and the original documentation from tt-rss.org has been preserved at tt-rss.github.io.

Tiny Tiny RSS is free software, licensed under the GNU GPL v3 or later. With hundreds of plugins, themes and a mature community, it remains one of the most feature-rich options for self-hosting your own feed aggregator.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install Tiny Tiny RSS?

The standard install is a Docker Compose setup that bundles the TT-RSS web app, an update daemon, and a PostgreSQL database. Clone the tt-rss/tt-rss-docker-stable repository, copy the .env example, adjust ports and URLs, and run docker compose up. Manual installation on a plain LAMP-style stack is also documented on the official wiki for experienced administrators.

Which platforms does Tiny Tiny RSS support?

The reader itself is a web application that runs in any modern browser. For mobile use there are official Android apps on Google Play and F-Droid, plus third-party iOS clients like Reeder, Feedme, and NetNewsWire that connect through the Fever-compatible or TT-RSS API. There is no official iOS app.

Can I import my existing feeds into Tiny Tiny RSS?

Yes. TT-RSS can import OPML files with your subscription list, and individual articles can be brought in via its feed aggregation. To move your article history away from a hosted service, export your data from that service first; TT-Rss reads standard RSS/Atom feed content once subscriptions are in place.

Does Tiny Tiny RSS have an API?

Yes. TT-RSS ships a JSON-based HTTP API used by its official Android client and most third-party apps, plus a Fever-compatible API endpoint for broader client support. The API supports feed listing, article retrieval, and item state changes such as marking articles read or starred.

Does Tiny Tiny RSS filter or process incoming articles?

Yes. It has a built-in filter system that can automatically mark, star, publish, or tag articles based on rules you define, with support for regular expressions. Filters can run per-feed or globally and are applied by the update daemon as new items arrive.
