Description

Stay informed at a glance with GlanceRSS, a customizable RSS reader widget built for the Windows 11 Widgets Board. Bring your favorite news sources, blogs, developer updates, and content feeds directly to your desktop in a clean, modern widget that feels right at home on Windows 11.

Add GlanceRSS to your Widgets Board and tailor it to the way you read. Choose your own RSS feeds, customize the widget title, adjust refresh behavior, and select the layout that works best for each feed. Whether you want a compact headline-focused view or a more visual layout with hero images, GlanceRSS lets you create the perfect widget for every topic you follow.

Each widget instance can be customized independently. Create one widget for tech news, another for design inspiration, one for developer blogs, and another for niche communities — each with its own feeds, title, and template.

Designed for clarity, speed, and simplicity, GlanceRSS keeps you connected without opening a browser or switching apps. It is lightweight, distraction-free, and perfect for users who want a streamlined way to stay up to date.
