NetNewsWire 7 for Mac

Brent Simmons, last month:

The big change from 6.2.1 is that it adopts the Liquid Glass UI
and it requires macOS 26.

(Note to people who aren’t on macOS 26: we fixed a lot of bugs in
6.2 and 6.2.1 knowing that many people might skip, or at least
delay, installing macOS 26. Also note that there’s a page where
you can get old versions of NetNewsWire.)

It feels a little weird for me not to be running the latest version of NetNewsWire, but since I’m skipping MacOS 26 Tahoe, I can’t run NetNewsWire 7. I am running NetNewsWire 7 betas on my iPhone and iPad, and I’ve tried it out on the secondary Mac where I do have Tahoe installed. It’s so good. And syncing works just fine with NetNewsWire 6.x, for anyone else in the fellowship sticking with MacOS 15 Sequoia. You can run NetNewsWire 7 on some devices and NetNewsWire 6 on your Sequoia Mac, and it all just works.

NetNewsWire 7 is also now out for iOS, and Brent and I talked about both versions last month when he was my guest on The Talk Show.

NetNewsWire 7 for Mac

NetNewsWire 7.0 for Mac is now shipping!

The big change from 6.2.1 is that it adopts the Liquid Glass UI and it requires macOS 26.

(Note to people who aren’t on macOS 26: we fixed a lot of bugs in 6.2 and 6.2.1 knowing that many people might skip, or at least delay, installing macOS 26. Also note that there’s a page where you can get old versions of NetNewsWire.)

To get NetNewsWire 7: in the app, in the NetNewsWire menu, do Check for Updates… and it will update to the new version.

If you’re not already running NetNewsWire, or prefer to update manually, you can download NetNewsWire 7.

Feedback and support

We recently switched from Slack to Discourse — we’ve got a new forum that doesn’t delete conversations. It’s nice!

And, as always, you can report bugs and make feature requests on our bug tracker.

You don’t have to bookmark either of those two URLs — they’re available in NetNewsWire’s Help menu.

PS iOS version coming soon

We’re pretty close to being finished with the iPhone and iPad version. It too adopts the Liquid Glass UI. If you want in on the TestFlight — we appreciate help testing! — you can sign up here.

Here are dark and light mode screenshots for NetNewsWire 7 for Mac, which you’re free to use in any blog posts, social media posts, reviews, etc. (Or make your own.)
