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),
• xBSD (possibly),
• other platforms supported by Qt.

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,
• dynamic keyboard shortcuts,
• 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.
