01 Your headlines remain visible while you work, browse or meet.

YOUR FEEDSLive headlines, one glance away. YOUR WORKFLOWNo tab switching required. YOUR FOCUSOnly the stories you choose.

01 / THE IDEA

Bring the feed to your workflow—not your workflow to the feed.

News readers compete for a full window. Browser tabs get buried. Taskbar Ticker uses the quiet edge of your desktop to keep fresh headlines present without demanding your attention.

Choose your sources, set the pace, then keep working. When a headline matters, open it from the ticker.

02 / BUILT AROUND YOUR FEEDS

Useful by default.
Personal when you want it.

Follow the sources you trust

Add multiple RSS feeds, turn individual sources on or off without deleting them, and check at a glance which feeds are responding.

Multiple RSS feeds in one ticker
Feed health indicators
Import and export your configuration

Make it belong on your desktop

Tune the ticker’s speed, font size, opacity and colors. Give each source its own label color, or keep the whole bar quiet and monochrome.

Adjustable speed and type size
Per-source label colors
Optional launch at Windows startup

Keep the signal. Mute the noise.

Use include and exclude keywords, mute sources you do not need, and highlight breaking terms so important stories are easier to spot.

Include and exclude keyword filters
Breaking keyword notifications
Pin articles and retain read state locally

03 / STAY IN CONTEXT

Right there when something matters.

Color-coded source labels and timestamps help you scan quickly. Right-click a headline to open, copy, pin or mute its source. Breaking stories remain marked until you read them.
