GRaiN - Google Reader Notifier for Windows Download Source Code Project Page About Guestbook  rss feed


GRaiN is a notifier application for Google Reader that sits in your system tray and alerts you when you have new unread items.

dot.net framework 3.5 required, I think.



NOTICE: This is not my project, this is not my code. I just tweaked it a little.


The original creator of this project is Lowell Heddings also known as the How-To Geek and writes for Lifehacker. Since he's too busy to attend to it, He let me take over the project, and now I maintain it, fix bugs, and occasionaly add features, especially if someone request it.

Other former-contributors to the project are TimDallmann and wyldphyre.
