Enhance your Desktop with NewsBar - the top selling Mac newsreader since 2011!
News Reading crafted to perfection! NewsBar is built with a fresh concept: news feeds delivered with a smooth animation, right to your desktop with automatic iCloud sync across your Apple devices. Converts any RSS and Twitter feeds into a realtime live news stream with categories, keyword watching and notification alerts.
All of your favourite RSS and Twitter feeds continuously appear on the selected side of your display or in a regular window. NewsBar is like having your own, personal news agency. You don't have to waste your time checking webpages: NewsBar will show you what's going on right now.
No delays, no waiting: stories appear right on your display, just as they are published. You can easily organize, read, follow, mark, filter and search news from your favourite feeds. Stories are read directly from RSS and Twitter sources without delay. NewsBar is probably the fastest RSS reader in the world.
There is no need to register any account or login into any service, news reading with NewsBar is simple, safe and private.
"If you’re looking for something a bit different in your RSS reader, I really recommend giving NewsBar a try, it’s a surprisingly powerful and enjoyable little app." - Mac Appstorm
Important: NewsBar is NOT a Twitter client. It's just an additional feature which allows to read selected Twitter feeds from sources where RSS not available. Twitter feeds should be added manually.

Use normal at first. After OS X 10.9 crashed, the app won’t save it’s setting anymore.It’s not a normal software behave. Don’t buy it until I report it was fixed.Update, it was fixed. According to developer, it’s OSX bug.
Simple, stable, does what it says on the tin!

It's the only RSS reader I've found that is also suitable for showing system status feeds as well as news etc. Unintrusive and elegant, I like it!PS: I'd prefer more options to influence the presentation though, like option to show Author and Content etc.
Very Good！

then it's ok. But if you have things on the desktop, if you have windows opened.... and when you have multiple spaces... there is no way you will find it. Useless.
