#Newsbar rss reader mac#
Freeware Spotlightĭisk Diag is available from the Mac App Store for free.ĭisk Diag is a lighter-weight program than DaisyDisk, which I reviewed earlier this month, but that can be an advantage for disk sweepers who want to do their housekeeping with a minimum of effort and don’t want to be bogged down in features. Its refreshing approach to displaying news feeds, thoughtful choice of features and intuitive design make it an outstanding program in its category. Since the burial of Google Reader, lots of RSS readers have appeared in the market, but NewsBar is one of the best I’ve seen to date.
What’s more, NewsBar uses iCloud to sync its feeds to versions of the app running on your other Apple devices. If you don’t have a Feedly account, adding new feeds is as simple as clicking the plus-sign tool topping the NewsBar or dragging and dropping a feed’s URL from your browser to the app. However, items from all Feedly streams will appear when you click the All Feeds tab. If you have more than that, you’ll have to make some hard decisions about which categories you’ll want tabbed. The app will create tabs for five or six Feedly categories. When tying Feedly to NewsBar, you can choose to have the Feedly feeds added to NewsBar’s native feeds, replace NewsBar’s feeds with Feedly’s feeds or replace Feedly’s feeds with NewsBar’s.Īll Feedly information will be imported into NewsBar - feeds, categories and favorites. That’s because you can link the app to a Feedly account so the account’s feeds will appear in NewsBar. A Gem of an Appįeedly users will love NewsBar. Should your eyes wander from NewsBar from time to time, you can set the app to notify you of a potential high-interest item through the use of keywords and the OS X notification center, as well as color-coding important items as they arrive.

You can also control the size of the type in the headline, the box it’s enclosed in, the size of the icon associated with it and the color and opacity of the bar’s background. There’s also an All Feeds tab that lets you see items across all categories.įeed headlines are displayed in a vertical bar that can be placed to taste on your display - left, right or floating. The tabs allow you to jump to the latest items in a category. Along with the name of the category on the tab is the number of items associated with the category. In the news category, there’s a feed from USA Today in Tech, feeds from Engadget and Apple Hot News and in Sports, a feed from ESPN.Įach category appears as a vertical tab on the side of NewsBar. The feeds are organized in category folders: news, tech and sports. When you launch NewsBar, you’ll see it has a number of feeds already in the app. The app is attractively designed, and for news junkies, it’s a dream come true. NewsBar addresses that problem by placing a vertical bar on a Mac’s display where feed headlines can be constantly seen and read. Relegating RSS feeds to a tab in a Web browser, website or standalone application keeps news out of sight and consequently out of mind. “Out of sight, out of mind” is an old saw that’s absolutely true about RSS readers.
