Overview

RSS Guard is a news feed reader designed for Linux users.

It is built using C++ and Qt, providing a straightforward way to follow news and updates from many sources.

This software supports multiple feed formats, including ATOM, JSON (version 1.x), and various versions of RSS (0.x, 1.x, and 2.x).

This makes it flexible for reading different types of news feeds.

RSS Guard works with many online feed services.

It is compatible with well-known services like Feedly and Gmail.

It also connects to alternatives that use the Google Reader API, such as Bazqux, FreshRSS, Inoreader, Miniflux, Reedah, The Old Reader, Tiny Tiny RSS, and Next Cloud News.

This compatibility makes it easy to keep all your favorite feeds in one place.

One important detail for Flatpak users is that the software’s autostart feature needs manual permission to work.

You must grant access to the ~/.config/autostart directory using a command in the terminal.

Without this step, the autostart will not function properly.

Overall, RSS Guard offers a safe and effective way to manage your news feeds on Linux.

It supports many feed formats and online services, making it a reliable choice for users who want a powerful but simple news feed reader.
