I am looking for a RSS reader which does not require a Google login. Been looking for one but they seem the need a google account login. NewsFire - Mac RSS Feed Reader. NewsFire is an RSS reader designed with beauty and simplicity in mind. This makes NewsFire attractive, easy to use and very functional. The price you pay is in some advanced features the lack of which makes NewsFire best suited for finding, reading and then forgetting news, not for archiving and handling them.

RSS apps make this process more pleasurable by streamlining the process and giving you control over your feed. Here are the best RSS readers for macOS.
1. Reeder 3 ($9.99) [No Longer Available]
Reeder 3 is the best Mac RSS app if you value the reading experience above everything else. The app is polished, fast and filled with intuitive gestures and shortcuts. Even if you’re loading 5,000 unread articles, it still won’t set your MacBook fans blazing.
Reeder supports most popular syncing services like Feedly, Feed Wrangler, Feedbin and so on. It will even import your Instapaper feedInstapaper Premium Is Free: 6 Features You Can Try NowInstapaper Premium Is Free: 6 Features You Can Try NowInstapaper Premium is now free.

The app has a three-pane UI. You’ll see your folders and sources in the first pane. The articles in the second and the article text in the third. Once an article is selected, just swipe left on the trackpad to open it in the built-in web browser. Or just press the keyboard shortcut (G) to expand the truncated article right there.
Reeder might not have pro level filtering options, but if a premium reading experience is what you crave, Reeder 3 is worth the $9.99 price of admission.

2. Feedly for Mac (Free)
Feedly for Mac is a free app. If you’re really into FeedlyThese New Feedly Features Make It Easier to Digest Your RSS FeedsThese New Feedly Features Make It Easier to Digest Your RSS FeedsFeedly's latest update came with three new features: Boards, Notes, and Highlights. Here's how they can help you be more productive and organized with your RSS feeds.Read More and all of its features, this is the RSS reader app for you. The app hasn’t been updated in over 3 years but that’s not an issue because it’s just a wrapper for Feedly’s website. You get all the functionality of the Feedly website in a dedicated window on your dekstop. As it’s a web wrapper, you’ll miss out on some of the classic RSS features like offline caching of synced articles.
What you get instead is all the over-the-top features that Feedly’s web app is famous for. If you use the Feedly app on your iPhone or if you like Feedly’s features such as starring, saving, Boards, popularity ranking of articles and so on, you’ll like using Feedly for Mac. Just keep in mind that offline support is non-existent, and it’s not a “proper” RSS app like Reeder is.
3. ReadKit ($9.99)
I’ve heard people describe ReadKit as Reeder’s slightly-less-attractive sibling. While that’s not a wholesome way to describe an app, there is some truth to it. Design-wise, ReadKit doesn’t hold a candle to Reeder 3. That doesn’t mean it looks bad or it’s unusable. Structurally, ReadKit’s design is quite similar to Reeder: the three-pane UI, the sharing features, the typography options, the keyboard shortcuts, and so on.
While Reeder focuses more on the reading experience, ReadKit focuses on filters and gives you more control over what you see. First of all, you can read your Pocket, Instapaper and Pinboard feeds in ReadKit. The app also has Smart Folders support, allowing you to filter stories by a tight set a criteria.
You can create a folder that only lists articles that contain specific words, or from specific sources, that were published in the past 3 days. If you think you’d value this level of granular control over your feeds, check out ReadKit.
4. Vienna (Free)
Vienna is the only open source RSS Reader on this list. The app is free and only syncs with Open Reader-compatible services like The Old Reader and InoReader. Vienna can only be downloaded from the GitHub page and while it runs well on macOS Sierra11 macOS Sierra Things You Couldn't Do in El Capitan11 macOS Sierra Things You Couldn't Do in El CapitanEvery new macOS release introduces new tricks and features, and macOS Sierra is no exception.Read More (sync was quick and painless), it doesn’t look like it belongs in the present. The design language is still from the pre-Yosemite redesign phase and on Sierra, and it sticks out.
Design issues aside, Vienna is a solid, stable and feature rich RSS reader. The main reason to choose it is arguably its price tag of free.
