RSS Guard is a cross-platform desktop feed reader supporting RSS, ATOM, JSON and many web-based feed services, with a built-in podcast/media player and Gemini protocol client. It is written in C++ with Qt and integrates with services like Feedly, Gmail, FreshRSS, Tiny Tiny RSS, and Nextcloud News.

Use cases

  • read rss and atom feeds in a desktop app
  • sync feeds with freshrss or tiny tiny rss
  • listen to podcasts without a separate player
  • browse gemini protocol capsules
  • aggregate gmail and feedly into one reader
  • fetch feeds over the gemini protocol

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, customizable desktop feed reader across Windows, Linux, and macOS
  • you need one app for feeds, podcasts, and Gemini protocol content
  • you use multiple online feed services and want unified access

When to avoid

  • you need a web-based or mobile-only reader
  • you require advanced XMPP chat beyond basic PubSub feed fetching
  • you want a minimal terminal-based feed reader
