Migration
Leaving Feedbin
Get your list out first. It takes about a minute and it works whether or not you ever come back here. And a word on why you may not want to leave at all.
Export your subscriptions
Sign in and open Settings → Import/Export. That is the address Feedbin’s own help gives for the import side of that screen, and the export lives on the same page.
We have not been able to read the export half of that screen from outside an account, so the button’s exact wording is not quoted here. The path is theirs; the label may differ.
Consider not leaving
Feedbin is the sync service most third-party readers support first, its API is the best documented in this category, and it has been run by the same person for over a decade. If what you want is sync that other apps speak, you already have it.
The reasons to move are narrow and worth naming honestly: price, if $70 a year is more than the job is worth to you; or wanting a first-class web reader and mobile apps included in the same subscription rather than assembled from parts.
What that file carries, and what it does not
OPML is a list of feeds and folders. It is not a backup of your reading, and every reader is vague about this in the same way, which causes the same disappointment every time.
Comes with you
- Your subscriptions — every feed you follow.
- Your tags, as folders. Feedbin's tags are how OPML folders are expressed.
Stays behind
- Read and unread state. Everything arrives unread, wherever you go.
- Starred articles, and anything saved through Feedbin's Pages feature.
- Newsletter emails you have routed into Feedbin — those live at a Feedbin address, and the address does not travel.
Where you can take it
An OPML file opens the whole category. Any of these will import it:
- Inoreader — Free tier, around $90/year for the full one. The most features of anything in this category.
- NetNewsWire — Free, open source, Mac and iOS only, syncing over iCloud — no sync bill at all if you are Apple-only.
- Miniflux — Self-hosted, minimal, open source. If you already run a server, this is the least fuss.
And where we are
Lantery is a sync service with its own reader, built for people who use more than one kind of computer — a Mac at home and Windows or Linux at work, or a phone that is not the same brand as the laptop. It keeps one reading queue across all of them, and works inside the reader apps you already use over the Google Reader API, so NetNewsWire, Reeder Classic and Unread can point at it.
It is not open to sign-ups yet. Accounts are invited by hand while the sync API is being proved against real exports. If you need a reader today, take the file to one of the options above — that is a straight answer, not modesty.
Export is free on every plan, forever, including after a subscription ends. That sentence is in the terms, not only here.
Coming from something else?
Where these instructions come from
- Feedbin help, “How to Subscribe” — names Settings → Import/Export — read 2026-09-08. Someone else’s interface can move without telling us; if it has, this page is wrong and wants re-reading rather than guessing.
Want a line when it opens?
One email, when there is something to log into. No account, no drip sequence, and unsubscribing is one click.
One email about the launch, nothing else, no third parties. Ask us to delete the address at any time — privacy policy.
