baRSS 1.6.2 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesbaRSS is a small open source feed reader that lives in the macOS menu bar.

It suits anyone who follows blogs and news sites through RSS and likes things light and quiet.

- Lives in the menu bar, always visible but never in the way
- Shows unread counts so new articles are easy to spot
- Refreshes feeds in the background at intervals you choose
- Opens the full article in your regular web browser

System Requirements
baRSS is a lightweight native Mac app with modest needs. Check your macOS version under About This Mac before installing, and allow it to start at login if you want feeds checked all day.
FAQs
