feedreader

News feed compiler

A feedreader is software that aggregates content from websites, blogs, and other sources using RSS or similar syndication formats.

Users subscribe to feeds and the reader collects updates in one place, eliminating the need to visit each site individually: I check my feedreader every morning to catch up on news.

Also called an RSS reader or news aggregator.
