Feed Compass
Feed Compass is a macOS app for finding, previewing, and subscribing to RSS feeds in native and web-based RSS readers.
What is Feed Compass?
Feed Compass is a macOS RSS companion app that helps users discover blogs and subscribe to their feeds more easily. It is designed for people who already use an RSS reader and want a simpler way to browse curated feed lists, preview sites, and send subscriptions to the reader they prefer. The app supports both native RSS readers and web services such as Feedbin, Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, and The Old Reader. It can also work with OPML files, which makes it useful for exploring feed collections and importing shared reading lists. Feed Compass is published by Vincode and is focused on feed discovery rather than replacing a full RSS reader.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Feed Compass is a normal Mac app for browsing and subscribing to RSS feeds. Its network access is expected for loading feed previews, opening websites, and sending subscriptions to supported readers or web services. Use the app with the RSS services you trust, and review any accounts or web readers you connect so you understand where your subscriptions are stored.
Recommendation: Keep Feed Compass if you use RSS regularly and want a dedicated tool for discovering feeds or working with OPML lists. If you no longer use RSS readers or already manage subscriptions another way, you can remove it without affecting macOS itself.
