Desktop RSS feed readers

This cluster consists of desktop RSS readers that aggregate feeds, with some offering podcast support, offline reading, sync with web services, and AI features. Dated entries before the index start appear sporadically from February 2021 to July 2026, with a small cluster in May 2023. OrigRead-Desktop leads on traction with 4 stars, while others have none.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
