What's the best way to filter and manage unread articles from multiple RSS feeds?

The best way to manage unread articles is using a feed reader that provides tools to list, filter by category, and mark articles as read or unread, keeping all feed data organized in a local SQLite database.

Do I need a local database to store and track RSS feed updates?
