Times
Innovative news & RSS reader for your Mac

This is the software publisher's description.

Times is a unique and innovative newsreader for Mac OS X Leopard. By rethinking the way you read news, we've engineered the best possible news experience straight from the ground up.

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.

Coffee breaks aren't endless, so Times makes it super easy to quickly scan through headlines. Scroll sections individually to find articles that interest you, and view inline photos and descriptions without clicking a thing. Because Times divides news into pages, you can browse just the subjects that matter to you most.

And 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 source, with every article formatted identically for easy reading.

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 staying true with standard OS X design philosophies. This level of polish is rarely seen.

While Times is relatively new on the scene, it is not shy on features. Nearly everything you'd expect in a newsreader is here: notifications of new articles, support for enclosures, plenty of customization options, and more.
