Flat Press Kit
Flat is a calm feed reader for everything you follow. Websites, podcasts, YouTube, and social feeds in one chronological timeline, plus a Stash for saving anything, from anywhere, for later.
If you write about apps and would like a heads-up before big updates, please get in touch. Access to TestFlight builds is available to members of the press on request.

What makes Flat different
- One timeline to read, watch, and listen. RSS, podcasts, YouTube, Reddit, Mastodon, and Bluesky in one chronological feed, instead of multiple separate apps to check.
- A player, not just a reader. A full podcast and video player is built in. Build your own play queue and resume right where you left off.
- A Stash for anything, from anywhere. Save from your timeline, any app’s share sheet, or the Chrome and Firefox extensions. Nothing expires, and it’s there offline.
- Native everywhere, always in sync. Built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Feeds, Stash, settings, and podcast and video playback position stay in sync through your own private iCloud, no account required.
- No unread counts, no ranking. Always chronological. Nothing turns into a backlog or an obligation. What you follow is what you get.

Flat is made by Just a Simple App, an independent app studio based in Munich, run by René Fischer. It builds focused, privacy-first apps with real attention to detail, fast, intuitive, and a pleasure to use. No accounts, no tracking, no ads.
Want the story behind it? Why I built Flat is René’s own take on the gap it filled, and how it became the most-used app on his home screen.
