Unread badge and optional three-pane reader for your self-hosted Miniflux server. Miniflux Companion Miniflux Companion is a Chrome and Chromium Manifest V3 extension for self-hosted Miniflux servers. It displays the unread item count in the browser toolbar, opens the standard Miniflux interface, and optionally provides an enhanced three-pane reader. The extension communicates directly with the Miniflux server configured by the user. It does not require an intermediary service, cloud account, or external application backend.

When the extension icon is clicked, it opens either the standard Miniflux interface or the enhanced reader, depending on the selected option. It can open a new tab or focus an existing Miniflux tab. The enhanced reader communicates with Miniflux through its API. Changes to reading status, bookmarks, feeds, and categories are written back to the user’s Miniflux account and remain visible in the standard Miniflux interface and other Miniflux clients. Optional automatic-read filters can mark articles as read when their titles contain user-defined words or phrases. Matching is case-insensitive, and the articles remain stored in Miniflux.
