Similar sleek design as Raven Reader but unlike Raven Reader (as of Nov 2020) - actually works.

It's the best looking RSS reader for Windows. NB. it is an Electron app. There's also a (paid) Android version that also looks amazing.

There are visual inconsistencies in the UI. It is also important to note that it hasn't been updated since December 2021 and the last activity was from a month ago. Still recommend.

Really great App - I'm using it both on Android and on Windows. It has everything what I need - especially the modern, clean design - perfect for focused reading.

Beautiful Open Source Apps for Android (nice & modern UI/UX)

UI = User Interface UX = User eXperience Most open source apps offer out-dated or classic material design UI. If the apps works great and the UX is not terrible you might find it okay. But intuitive UI are better, and modern looking ones are pleasant to use, sadly they are not the majority. Here is my list of Beautiful Open Source Apps for your android device ! Apps are listed in alphabetical order ! Also look at : The ultimate F-Droid setup for more open source android apps. and Beautiful Open Source Apps for iOS for your iOS device DISCLAIMERS Nice UI comes to personnal preference. So this list is only based on my taste of what is a good modern looking app. While open source is great for privacy and security it is not perfect. So keep that in mind before downloading any apps. I again encourage you to do your own research about them and read their Privacy Policies. I am not a privacy and security expert. I'm also don't consider myself as a developper so I do not have any technical knowledge and so I didn't look into any source code of any apps in this list !
