News App: RSS Reader & More is a native macOS reader for RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, public news-event data, weather, radio streams, and user-opened web content. Hudley Holdings LLC does not operate a backend service for the app, does not require an account, and does not collect analytics, advertising identifiers, or tracking data from the app.
Data Stored on Your Mac
The app stores its data locally on your Mac, including feed and source configurations, cached article metadata and article content, reading status, bookmarks, custom lists, preferences, radio favorites, and optional weather city or coordinate settings. Local diagnostic logs may also be written for troubleshooting. This local app data is not sent to servers operated by Hudley Holdings LLC.
Network Requests
The app connects directly from your Mac to services needed for features you choose to use. These may include RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, and website URLs you subscribe to or open; GDELT Project news-event feeds; public Polymarket event-probability data; Open-Meteo weather and city search; Google favicon service; radio station stream hosts; and websites displayed in the in-app web reader.
Those third-party services may receive normal request information such as your IP address, user agent, requested URL, and request timing. Their own privacy policies govern their handling of those requests.
Optional Location Access
Location access is optional. If you choose Use My Location, the app uses macOS Core Location to request your current location for weather and nearby radio station distance features. You can disable this in the app settings or in macOS Location Services.
