RSSOwl ist ein freier, plattform-unabhangiger Newsreader für RSS, RDF und Atom Newsfeeds. Entwickelt wurde er in Java mit SWT als schneller, nativer Grafik-Bibliothek. RSS ist eine Dokumentenspezifikation welche es dem Benutzer ermöglicht, News zu sammeln, organisieren und aktualisieren. Programme wie RSSOwl nennt man auch Aggregatoren. RSSOwl begann als kleines Projekt auf SourceForge.net Ende Juli 2003. Nach 18 Monaten Entwicklungszeit, wurde RSSOwl 1.0 am 19. Dezember 2004 veröffentlicht.

Help spread the word about RSSOwl!
We think more people should know about RSSOwl. If you are the maintainer of a website or know someone that is, you can do us a favour and add one of our promotional buttons to your website, e.g.: You can find instructions on our Contribute page. Thanks in advance!
Do you know about Add-Ons?
RSSOwl is based on a platform that can easily be extended with additional functionality. We provide some add-ons that are worth mentioning here. If you open Tools | Add-ons | Find Add-ons you see a list of available add-ons for your platform. The most popular one is likely the Newsgroup reader that turns RSSOwl into a nntp-client (find out more here). Another useful add-on that was recently added is the Offline Mode that allows to stop all network access from RSSOwl as long as the offline mode is active. With the same mechanism, you can even install additional languages into RSSOwl. Find the list of additional languages from Tools | Language | Download Additional Languages.
RSSOwl now available in 8 languages
Thanks to the work of our translators, RSSOwl is now available in English, German, Polish, Serbian, Italian, Spanish, Chinese (Traditional) and Chinese (Simplified). Stay tuned for upcoming Portuguese and French translations. If your language is missing, you can help out.
More translations please...
We are still looking for native speakers to translate RSSOwl into their language, this time we especially look for Chinese Simplified, Dutch, Japanese or Bengali as these languages are commonly spoken by many people around the world. Please read on here if you can help out, thanks.
More languages, native Mac Disk Image, new Linux Repositories
We added Italian and Polish versions of RSSOwl and there is still more languages to come soon. If you are missing your spoken language in RSSOwl, you can help out in translating. Mac users will be happy to hear that RSSOwl for Mac is now provided as disk image. In addition to this new deployment format, the application is now a single executable application bundle that can easily be moved to the applications folder and started from there. Finally I would like to point out our new repositories for Ubuntu provided by getdeb.net. More details are available from our page. Note that packages.rssowl.org is no longer actively maintained.
RSSOwl 2.1.2 released with first translations *update*
We are happy to announce the release of RSSOwl 2.1.2. This release enables the installation of additional languages into RSSOwl (from Tools | Language). Thanks to our team of translators, as of today we can provide translations to German, Spanish and Chinese Traditional. We are still looking for more people helping out with translations. If you can help us, please click here for further instructions. Update: Localized versions of RSSOwl are now available from our downloads page.
Help translate RSSOwl into your language

Upon submission of your completed translation you will get an exclusive free RSSOwl T-Shirt from ooshirts.com.

FAQ updated on Google Reader Article Synchronization
Based on a lot of feedback we got from users testing the new Google Reader article synchronization, the FAQ is now updated with the top questions and answers.
One more thing: Google Reader Synchronization
I am happy to announce the final feature for RSSOwl 2.1 that has now been added to the 2.1 Beta: Google Reader Synchronization. Any feed that is under synchronization control will synchronize its article read-state, labels and starred state with your Google Reader account. Another cool advantage of using your Google Reader account for subscriptions is that you will never loose an article from any feed. Just increase the number of articles you want to keep per feed (up to 1000!) and RSSOwl will download them all. Please refer to our Beta 2.1 Changelog page to find out more and download the beta.
RSSOwl 2.1 Changelog
The development on upcoming RSSOwl 2.1 has finally reached the milestone of being feature complete. From now on, the focus is on testing and performance optimizations. While this is not an official call for beta testers, the nightlies of RSSOwl 2.1 are considered stable enough to be used by the brave and good enough to report some feedback. For that, the RSSOwl 2.1 Changelog lists instructions how to safely install a nightly and provides an overview of the new features added.
RSSOwl 2.1 is in the making
The next release of RSSOwl will include lots of new features that I am very happy to announce today. Work is closely coming to an end on RSSOwl 2.1 and a public beta will be announced in June. It is hard to name the top 5 features, because there are many more. Here you go: new headlines and list layout redesigned newspaper view news archiving readability support unlimited news storage Stay tuned. I will announce the features in greater detail after the beta has been announced.
All new project page over at SourceForge
I am really happy with the new look of project pages at SourceForge. RSSOwl has been with SourceForge since the earliest version. Check it out here. You can help spread the word about RSSOwl by adding a positive review there too. Thanks in advance! PS: Expect some cool new things in next RSSOwl 2.0.7 (don't ask for a release date please ;-)).

RSSOwl 2.0.5 is out
This new release of RSSOwl 2.0.5 comes with quite some bugfixes, performance and stability improvements as you can see from the changelog.

Linux and Mac users should consider reinstalling RSSOwl completely as the framework for the user interface was updated for this release. This framework is not part of the usual update.
