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
