We have seen dozens of RSS Readers for Mac till now. Apps like Reeder, Pulp and NetNewsWire are enough to subscribe to favorite feeds, and they give tons of features like syncing, sharing and support for later reading services like Instapaper and Pocket.
I am currently using Monotony app for RSS updates. I prefer to consume news from the original websites rather than reading them on the app. Monotony is a very simple RSS Feed app which just uses Growl, or OS X's Notification Center to notify the new updates from the subscribed sites.
The only thing that disappoints me about Monotony is that it doesn't allows user to export or import OPML. The last update was in March of last year, and I don't think the developer is going to release a new version anytime soon with the mentioned features.
For those who watch the news on the move lightly RSS reader. The site has been optimized for smart phones, all I'm viewing. Leaf News Reader. Adobe indesign cc 2019 v14 0 3.
Today, I found a nice app that may replace Monotony. Leaf, is a clean and feature-rich RSS Reader Mac app.
- The latest version of Leaf - The News Reader is 5.1 on Mac Informer. It is a perfect match for RSS in the Internet Tools category. The app is developed by Rocky Sand Studio and its user rating is 5 out of 5.
- Newsflow app downloads news from RSS feeds directly to your device and stores them locally, so you'll be able to read them at any time whenever you want. Application features friendly and informative user interface, first app'll help you to find newswires on your favorite websites or globally - with keywords and then will start collecting news.
Leaf is a RSS notifier plus it also features a RSS reader. Just like Monotony, Leaf uses OS X's Notification Center to push RSS notifications. You can use it locally or you can also use it to manage your Feedly subscriptions.
The Interface

The app's interface is pretty much same as other apps in the category. It displays the Feed titles in one column, and after clicking on any of the feed title, we get the full feed on the right column with includes the Feed Title and the content. It also supports full screen mode.
Setting Up Leaf
You can open app preferences to add the RSS feeds to subscribe. If you already have a OPML file, you can import it too. While subscribing to feeds, you can add the feed link, or you can search for a term to subscribe to a site. Once you search for a term, it displays all the sites which are relevant to the term you searched, after selecting a site, you can subscribe to that site.
You can manage all your subscribed feeds in the Subscriptions tab. The app basically displays the Feed content in two different forms, one is the normal view and the other is it displays the original site preview in the RSS Reader column. You can manage whether you want the normal view or the site view(site preview) for individual feeds.
You can also hide or show feeds individually. One nice thing is you can organize your feeds by creating folders. You can move feeds into a folder.
General options includes number of articles per feed, manual refresh, refresh interval and option to set what to do when a new article arrives, which you can choose between 'Play Sound' which will play a notification sound when an article arrives, 'Read it' which will open the article in the Leaf's RSS Reader or you can also set 'Do Nothing'. You can disable auto-refreshing if you want to manually refresh the feeds.
The app allows you to filter the articles. Ifunia video converter 5 5 0. By default, the app contains 'Unread' or 'Starred' filters, and you can also create your own filters. It is a bit of advanced stuff.

The app gives you the option to enable or disable services for sharing the article. Apart from Twitter, Facebook and Email, you can also enable Pocket, Instapaper, Readability and other services.
Apart from all these options, the app also notifies on new articles in Notifications Center. It also displays the unread count in the dock icon.
Final Thoughts
The app is nice in many ways. The features that Leaf app gives is sufficient for users like me who just want be updated. The app handles the subscriptions well.
What I didn't like about Leaf is the font that is used in the Article titles in the articles list. The interface will look nice if they use Helvetica or some nice sans font, the condensed font that they are using doesn't looks good at all.
Also, an option to hide the unread count in the dock icon will be nice.

Adding RSS/Atom syndicated content inside your Joomla website is now super-easy and simple with the 'Simple RSS Feed Reader' module from JoomlaWorks. All you have to do is add a few feeds to the module parameters, publish the module in some position and that's it!
You can even publish multiple feeds at the same time (meaning in the same module instance) and have them display combined!
The 'Simple RSS Feed Reader' module is based on the same feed parsing engine that powers JoomlaReader.com, the most popular Joomla news aggregator in the Joomla Community.
The feeds are stored inside your Joomla site's cache folder and refreshed in a specific time interval, which you set in the module's parameters. This feed cache is different to Joomla's cache, as you may need to have your site refreshed every 5 minutes, but have the feeds the module retrieves stored longer than 5 minutes.
Notable features
- one input box for feeds enables you to add unlimited feeds per module instance
- combine multiple feeds into one output list
- show or hide the first image inside each feed content
- extract and resize remote images for more layout control - we use Mobify's world class image resizing service for fast loading times and without stressing your server
- additional content options include pre-text, post-text and a custom link option at the bottom of the feeds block
- MVC templating is now standard, module comes pre-packed with 2 generic templates that will fit most sites - they also serve as a great starting point if you want to create your own
- one input box for feeds enables you to add unlimited sources to your module (previously limited to 20 feeds only per module instance).
Rosetta stone 5 0 37. After you install the module, add one or more feed sources in the related box under 'Fetch Options' and simply adjust the 'Feed Content Options' in the module parameters.
Styling
The module installs with 2 generic templates (default and compact), which should be sufficient for most websites. If you want more control, you can simply override both the generated HTML and CSS, using MVC template overrides within your Joomla template. Or you can create new folders with new module templates inside your template's /html/mod_jw_srfr/ folder and just select the new ones in the module's parameters.
The compact template is inspired by JoomlaReader.com.
'Simple RSS Feed Reader' is released under the GNU/GPL v2 license.
Check out the module in action in our official demo sites at demo.joomlaworks.net and demo2.joomlaworks.net (the module is located in the right column on both sites).
