TICKR is an unusual RSS reader, displaying on the computer desktop all kinds of information published on user-defined websites. All data made available in XML format via RSS feeds are presented on the screen in the form of scrolling text on a special bar. Clicking on any of the displayed message titles opens the web page to which it refers, with the full content of news, article, etc., in the browser.

The application is very easy to use and offers a large number of configuration options, allowing you to customize the way the bar is displayed and the information on it to the individual preferences of the user. You can, among other things, adjust the position of the bar on the screen, its size and color, as well as the text displayed on it, modify the scrolling speed of information and many other aspects of its operation. TICKR supports RSS and Atom channels and supports proxy servers and HTTP authentication.
