RSS Guard

RSS Guard is simple (yet powerful) feed reader. It is able to fetch the most known feed formats, including RSS/RDF and ATOM. RSS Guard is developed on top of the Qt library and it supports these operating systems:

  • Windows XP and newer,
  • GNU/Linux,
  • OS/2 (eComStation),
  • Mac OS X (possibly).

RSS Guard is written in C++. It is pretty fast even with tons of messages loaded. The core features are:

  • multiplatformity,
  • support for all feed formats,
  • simplicity,
  • sweet look & feel,
  • open-source development model based on GNU GPL license, version 3,
  • tabbed interface,
  • integrated web browser + external browser support,
  • desktop integration via tray icon,
  • Qt library is the only dependency,
  • no ads, no hidden costs.

Installation

You need to compile RSS Guard if binary distribution is not available for your platform. Basic steps are really simple:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\Program Files\rssguard"
make install

This compiles and installs RSS Guard using Qt 4 on Windows machines. Qt 5 can be used too. Head to CMakeLists.txt file for more information on this topic.

Other information

  • Binaries will be builded for Windows platform by myself. If you want to build binaries for your platform by yourself, I can provide you some support. File an issue request in that case.
  • If you want to have some feature/ehancement implemented in RSS Guard, then file an issue request.
  • If you want to translate RSS Guard, then contact me or file an issue request too.
  • Make sure to read the Wiki.

I appreciate any constructive actions.
