Portable RSS Guard is included in the category of RSS readers, enabling you to read news and articles from your favorite websites no matter where you are. It is a special edition of RSS Guard that does not require installation, enabling you to launch it directly from a USB stick and stay up-to-date with the latest news on the go.

The application groups all your feeds under specific categories, making it easier for you to organize and read new content. It is compatible with various protocols, namely RSS 2.0 and 2.0.1, RSS 0.91 / 0.92 / 0.93 / 1.0, ATOM 1.0 and supports feeds that require authentication.

Adding new feeds to the list is just a matter of a few clicks: you must select the desired category, the feed type and configure a few options related to automatic update and the encoding mode. Alternatively, you can import feeds from an OPML file.

Its main window comprises information about the last 30 records, displaying their title, the author name and the creation date. Clicking on an item reveals its contents, which are shown in the lower pane.

Portable RSS Guard features screen notifications, proxy support and comes with an internal web browser that enables you to visit pages pointed out by your feeds. Alternatively, you can open a link using the user-defined external web browser.

To make things easier for you, it integrates mouse gestures, so you can navigate to the previous or the next web page by simply dragging the mouse. It can be configured to automatically update feeds once every a few minutes.

Providing support for RSS, ATOM and RDF standards, Portable RSS Guard is a simple RSS reader that can be carried around on a USB drive, without leaving footprints in the system registry. Its tab-based GUI, along with the clear options and the simple configuration make it suitable for all types of users.
