NetNewsWire is a free and open-source RSS reader for macOS and iOS, originally developed by Brent and Sheila Simmons through Ranchero Software. It was first introduced on in 2002 as NetNewsWire Lite, a free version with fewer features compared to the commercial release. Ownership transitioned over time, with NewsGator acquiring it in 2005 and Black Pixel in 2011, before Brent Simmons regained the intellectual property in 2018 and released his open source Mac RSS reader, "Evergreen" as NetNewsWire 5.0d1. NetNewsWire has been well received by the community, receiving awards such as Macworld's Editor's Choice.
