Built for Apple TV
Marquee Reader turns your Apple TV into a calm, beautiful place to follow the web — an ambient screensaver of live headlines when you step away, gorgeous full-screen reading when you settle in, and an iPhone companion that controls every setting.
Coming soon to Apple TV on the App Store
Step away and your Apple TV fills with rotating live headlines, a big clock, and a photo of your choosing. The screen stays alive — never just off.
Stream an article one word at a time with the key letter highlighted, and finish a long read in minutes — without lifting a finger.
Your feeds live on your Apple TV. No account, no tracking, no ads — sync to your own devices through iCloud, and nothing else.
What's RSS?
RSS is a simple, open standard that lets a website publish its latest posts as a feed. Subscribe to the sites you love — news, blogs, podcasts, even YouTube channels — and everything new lands in one place. No algorithm deciding what you see, no ads in the timeline, no account to create. You follow exactly who you choose, and you see everything they publish, newest first.
Paste a site's address and Marquee discovers its feed for you — or bring your whole list over with OPML import.
Add it to your library and group feeds into folders. Everything stays on your Apple TV and your own iCloud.
New posts arrive newest-first — ready to read full-screen, speed-read one word at a time, or drift by on the screensaver.
Screensaver
When Marquee goes idle it becomes an ambient display — the latest headlines from your feeds drift slowly across the screen above a large, easy-to-read clock. Set one of your own photos as the backdrop from the iPhone app, and it becomes the kind of thing you'll happily leave running.
A reader you'll want to look at
Articles are rendered natively — headings, pull quotes, code, lists and inline images all laid out for a TV, not crammed into a web view. Pick the look that suits the room and settle in.
Speed Reading
Engage speed-reading mode and the article streams to the center of the screen, one word at a time. Each word's Optimal Recognition Point is highlighted in amber and pinned to a fixed reticle, so your eyes never move — the part that normally eats most of your reading time.
Always up to date
A dashboard greets you with what's unread, what arrived today, and how your feeds are doing. Marquee fetches politely in the background — honoring each feed's cache and back-off rules — so it's quietly current whenever you sit down.
Marquee for iPhone
The free companion app is the easiest way to set up and tune Marquee. Manage feeds and folders, switch themes, typefaces and text sizes, and adjust the screensaver — including a custom photo background you can only choose here. Everything syncs to the TV over your own iCloud, instantly. And when a story deserves the commute, send it straight to your phone.
Rotating live headlines, a clock and your own photo background keep the room alive.
Spritz-style word streaming with an ORP highlight, 100–900 WPM, and sentence seek.
Control every TV setting, set a photo background, and send stories to your phone.
Headings, quotes, code blocks, lists and images laid out for the TV — no web view.
Every screen is built around the Siri Remote — swipe, click, hold to share.
Paste a site's address and Marquee finds the feed for you.
Bring your whole subscription list over from any other reader in one go.
Group feeds into folders and find anything with keyword search.
Four typefaces, four themes and five text sizes to match any room.
Conditional GETs, cache-control awareness and error back-off — easy on every server.
Inline images plus podcast audio and video, right inside the reader.
Device-to-device sync runs on your own iCloud — private and yours.
Marquee Reader doesn't have a backend. It keeps your feeds and articles on your Apple TV, and uses your own iCloud only to talk to your iPhone. The web, the way it was meant to be — quietly yours.
