RSSOwl 2.2.1

RSSOwl is a versatile and efficient cross-platform Java/RSS/RDF newsreader that allows you to easily manage and access your RSS feeds. While Google Reader may have dominated the market, RSSOwl offers a compelling alternative with its focus on organization and offline reading capabilities.

One of the standout features of RSSOwl is its ability to allow users to read feeds offline, a functionality that Google Reader only recently introduced. This makes it a great solution for those who want to stay updated on their favorite feeds even when they don't have an internet connection.

Another advantage of RSSOwl is its compatibility with both Mac and PC platforms. This means that regardless of the operating system you use, you can enjoy the same seamless experience and easily manage your feeds.

The latest version of RSSOwl introduces several important new features that enhance its functionality. These include a full-screen mode, support for searches, an improved notifier, and multi-tabbed browsing. Additionally, you now have the option to add a password to your feeds for added security.

While the overall look of RSSOwl may be basic, it prioritizes simplicity to ensure that feeds are easy to find and navigate. Despite not being my personal choice, RSSOwl is a well-developed and lightweight RSS reader that offers a reliable cross-platform solution.
