Monotony, an extremely minimalist RSS and feed reader

Monotony-reader-rss-feeds-0

Needless to say, the pool of feed, RSS, and Atom readers has diversified quite a bit since Google ditched its much-acclaimed and beloved Google Reader. Much of the public staunch to Google had to search for the beans to find other equally valid options When it comes to managing their subscriptions, services such as Feedly have been the most successful in this regard and others that have not yet taken off, although with a good foundation such as Digg.

Actually there are a great variety of alternatives in relation to readers, some even seem almost traced to others, however Monotony proposes the same format in another way, that is, it does not pretend to have a very worked interface rather, it takes advantage of what the operating system provides to integrate itself into it.

In the end it is a very basic service too since it simply brings your feeds to the Mac notification center and to the pop-ups of it, that's all. Every time a new publication is made, we will see that a pop-up will appear in the form of a notification, just as it happens with subscriptions to different websites.

The final utility of Monotony really depends on the user it is intended for, so if you are one of those they like to have everything in order With different hierarchies and themes, thus grouping the news appropriately and consuming content at the end of the day, Monotony may fall short of this task.

However, if you are one of those who always they are attentive to the breaking news and the notices, to read almost in "real time" everything, if that can be more than useful. Of course, if you are the type of person who hates notifications and is easily distracted by alerts, this app is not recommended at all.

Monotony is free and is available for download through the Mac App Store.
