Integration with Live Bookmarks

Brief integrates with Live Bookmarks. All you need to do is to select the folder containing your feeds.

Sidebar showing list of feeds

The list of feeds is displayed in a sidebar. You can click on a single feed or on a whole folder to view it.

View of feed's content

The content is displayed on a seamless page. Unread items are highlighted and there are buttons on each item to mark it as read, bookmark it, or delete it.

Headlines-only view

Headlines view gives you a more compact display. You can also choose to view only the unread items, or the bookmarked ones. Clicking on the star brings up the familiar Edit Bookmark panel.

Viewing a webpage

Click on item's title to open the related webpage.

Keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts make it browse the pile of news faster.

Using searchbar

Use the search box to quickly find a piece of news. Because items are stored in a database, you have a record of everything you've read.

Statusbar icon with tooltip

Brief checks feeds for updates in the background and notifies you about new items. The statusbar icon shows the number of unread items.

Option window

You can select how often to check for updates and how long to keep the downloaded items. You may even have separate settings for each feed, if you need.
