Feed Indicator, unlike RSS-Aware – a similarly purposed applet we’ve written about before – ships with an enhanced set of features including a handy ‘Mark all read’ menu entry and options to set the refresh interval of feeds.

Other features present in Feed Indicator include : –

  • Easily add and sort feed URL’s
  • Notification pop-up on new feed items
