The project site answered. That is not the installed tool running.

Evidence

Each bar is one request to the project's own site

This one is installed and run on your own machine, so what we re-check is the project’s site — whether it is still published and still reachable. We cannot tell you from here that the tool itself runs.

We hash the visible text on every check, so a redesign registers and a rotating advert does not. An app that has not changed in a long time is not necessarily abandoned — but it is a fact worth knowing before you depend on it.

What it does

Reader Project is a desktop RSS and Atom reader with more than 15 themes, feed analytics, and customizable feed settings. An experimental option lets you plug in your own LLM for summaries. Windows builds are offered, with other versions on GitHub Releases under the MIT License.

What people say

No reviews yet.

We would rather show none than invent them.

Embed this status

Put it in your README. It updates itself every time we check, and links to your verification record — evidence a stranger can read, not a page selling them something.
