Data & Monitoring

RSS Feed widget for Windows

Your feeds on your desktop rather than in yet another reader you have to remember to open. Set how often it refreshes, show or hide descriptions and dates, and mark items read as you click them. Unread counts sit on the tile so you know whether it is worth a look. Turn on AI enhancements and a sparkle button summarises everything unread into a handful of bullets, grouped by topic with the source in brackets.

Free · Windows 10 and 11 · No account required
