FeedDemon
NewsGator FeedDemon is an offline RSS feed Aggregator and reader with a so many features you’ll just love.
Some of the better reasons to use FeedDemon are :
- A clean uncluttered structure, a top priority with me.
- Sorting of feeds views by feed title, read/unread marker etc..
- A feed watch for checking incoming feeds for a certain topic.
- Exporting/Importing feed lists to/from any other aggregator.
- Directly adding feeds to your list with rss URL.
- Tabbed views.
- A summarized view for all feeds, which you can expand to read more-offline.
- A prefetch option with which we can select items to prefetch for offline reading-feed text, images, links etc..
- Option for auto removal of dead feeds, timed auto update of feeds, and much more.
- Synchronization with newsgator account.
With all these options in place and just a few clicks away, FeedDemon has become my official feed reader.
