Fiery Feeds 2.15.0 is now available on the App Store. If features new support for Apple Intelligence on supported devices and preparations for Fiery Feeds 3.0.

Apple Intelligence

The most visible feature in 2.15.0 is the new support for Apple’s on device models to create short summaries in the article list (instead of the excerpts previously used), the ability to get longer summaries directly in the article view, to translate articles and to automatically group your articles by topic.

For devices that do not support Apple Intelligence, there is the option to use OpenAI’s cloud instead, but you’ll need to bring your own API key – since this is handling large amounts of text it might get expensive fast, so I don’t see a way to include this in Fiery Feeds’ Pro subscription, at least not without substantially increasing the price. (Also, it looks like devices that don’t support the on device model might get access to Apple’s Cloud Compute in iOS 27)

And of course each of the AI features can be enabled or disabled individually, and you can pick the provider for each feature individually, for example you may want to use OpenAI, but only for translations.

Sharing Actions

Fiery Feeds has support two way syncing, including adding new articles to the account for Wallabag for a while, there is now finally a Wallabag action as well, that can be set as quick action, i.e. saving an article to Wallabag without bringing up the account selection screen that always show with the “Save or Subscribe” action.

That’s the visible, but not the important part about the sharing actions though. In the release I’ve redone all of the sharing code and migrated it from Objective-C code to Swift, which is something I wanted to get out of the way before I can focus on the SwiftUI update I call Fiery Feeds 3.0.

Fiery Feeds 3.0

Speaking of 3.0, this release is the first of two updates that will migrate almost all of the important code to Swift. I’ve rewritten – with lots of help from Claude, admittedly – the sharing actions, as mentioned above, but also all of the local database and storage code to Swift. The next version (2.16.0) will migrate all of the syncing logic – it’s almost done too, but I’ve decided to split this into two updates to not ship too many bugs at once.

I’ve already teased Fiery Feeds 3.0 in a previous blog post but I’ve made a lot of progress since. The settings and account settings are there, themes are supported, article list and article view already display *something*, even if none of that is final yet. A lot of screens, like Hot Links – and roughly 30(!) others, are still just placeholders, so there is still a lot to do until I can release this.

But the plan of having a public beta for 3.0 by the end of the year, even if it’s not fully feature complete yet by then is still looking very plausible.
