Times is a new type of newsreader for Mac OS X Leopard. Instead of treating news like email (as most RSS readers do), Times presents you with headlines and photos from a variety of sources all in one place, letting you more easily discover the news you want to read. Like your own personal newspaper, you can put feeds into separate areas, create pages for different subjects, and more.

Quick as a cup of coffee

Coffee breaks aren't endless - Times was designed with this in mind. Times makes it really easy to quickly scan through news; you can scroll each section individually to find articles that interest you. Photos help distinguish which articles you want to read or not read. And because Times divides news into pages, you can browse the updates only in the subjects that matter most to you at that moment.

Times also includes a feature called the Shelf, which allows you to save and sort articles for later reading. Simply start dragging an article to bring up the Shelf; you can then place it in any location. You can even create stacks for categorizing or prioritizing saved articles.

See the whole story

What's the point of a news reader if you're forced to read the actual articles in your web browser? Times shows you the entire story regardless of source1, with every article formatted identically for easy reading.

Works with most major news sites; your mileage may vary.

Beautifully Designed

You'll be impressed by the sheer attention to detail in Times. Every feature was carefully crafted to work as intuitively and naturally as possible, while still keeping with Mac design philosophies.
Times uses many advanced OS X technologies, like Core Animation - which allows for clear and concise animations throughout the interface, making it easy to always see what's going on.

While Times is brand new, it is not shy on features. Nearly everything you'd expect in a newsreader is here, from notification of new articles to many other customizable options.

Want to share an article you've found with others? Times allows you to quickly email any article, or send it to popular social websites such as Facebook and Digg.
