About

Syndic is a simple, touch-friendly feed reader for KDE Plasma Desktop. Subscribe to any site that provides an RSS or Atom feed. Get automatically-generated highlights from your collection, search for articles by keyword, or page through a list of every new article.

Features include:

  • Adaptive design - Displays in one, two or three column mode depending on available space
  • Touchscreen support - quickly swipe between articles on touchscreen devices
  • Cut through the clutter - automatically-generated highlights prevent lower-volume feeds from getting drowned out by higher-volume ones
  • Download web content - fetch full article text from the web, even if the feed only provides a summary
  • Save your favorites - mark your favorite articles to keep track of them and prevent them from expiring
