The version 1.0 was introduced in 2002 by Brent Simmons. It included custom feed views, custom downloading and opening of podcasts, synchronization of feeds and feed status between computers, Bloglines support, and a built-in tabbed browser. Over the years, new features were added (also support for iPhone and iPad) and it was acquired by NewsGator Technologies in 2005 and later by Black Pixel in 2011. On August 31, 2018 Black Pixel announced that they have returned the NetNewsWire intellectual property to Brent Simmons, that completely rewrote the program as a Free and Opensource Mac RSS reader. Now version 5.0 is at a very early stage and supports RSS, Atom, JSON Feed, and RSS-in-JSON formats.
