RSS Guard

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

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

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 supported.

Installation

You need to compile and install RSS Guard before you can use it. 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. For further information head to CMakeLists.txt file.
