Portable FeedRoller is a software tool which enables you to easily view all the important headlines of the day, on your desktop, by adding and managing RSS and Atom feeds.

This is the portable counterpart of FeedRoller, which means that the installation process is not a necessity. Consequently, the Windows registry and Start menu are not going to suffer any changes, and no leftovers will remain on the drive after its removal.

Another important aspect is that by copying the program files to a removable external drive, you make it possible to run Portable FeedRoller on any computer you have been granted access to.

The interface is non-obtrusive, as it goes in the system tray from the first launch, and only encloses a pane on the desktop, in which headlines can be viewed and automatically hides when hovering over it. Aside from that that, the GUI is intuitive, allowing all user categories to work with it, without encountering issues.

It is possible to add new feeds manually, as well as import them using XML, OPML and TXT files. From the settings panel, you can select idle and item time, maximum age (expressed in hours) and items per feed. You can refresh all feeds, show metadata and a short summary, customize colors and fonts, input a proxy server and save settings in the INI file.

Aside from that, you can hide the headlines for 15 minutes, suspend them on fullscreen, as well as toggle pause and pinning, or access the extensive Help contents provided.

To wrap it up, Portable FeedRoller is a simple, yet efficient piece of software, when it comes to keeping track of the latest news. The interface is simple to handle, there are sufficient options to keep you busy, the response time is good and the computer’s performance is not going to be hampered.
