Summary
Feed Notifier is a desktop application that resides in the system tray and displays small pop-up notifications on your desktop when new items are discovered in subscribed RSS/Atom feeds.

Features

  • Supports all common RSS and Atom web feed protocols.
  • Tracks any number of feeds with a configurable polling interval for each feed.
  • Opens the web page in your default browser when you click on an item’s URL.
  • Doesn’t poll feeds when you’re away from the computer, saving bandwidth for both you and the hosts.
  • Supports manually enabling/disabling polling in case you don’t want to be disturbed.
  • Supports launching from Firefox and other browsers.
  • Import feeds in OPML format.
  • Reminder feature re-displays the previous notification.
  • Dismiss pop-up notifications by clicking on them.
  • Prevent pop-ups from disappearing by hovering over them.
  • Pop-up windows do not steal keyboard or mouse focus from other applications.
  • Automatically grabs URL from clipboard when adding a new feed.
  • Evenly distributes polling times for the feeds so they aren’t all polled at the same time.
  • Only notifies you once when new items are discovered.

Feed Notifier is currently available for Windows but will soon be available for other platforms.

Target Audience
Feed Notifier may be for you if:

  • You want to keep up with web feeds but don’t want to bother with a full-blown, email-like RSS reader application.
  • You just want real-time pop-ups when new content arrives but don’t care about past messages much.
  • You want an app where you can just enter feed URL’s and forget about it, letting the app do the rest.
