The news you chose, not the news you’re fed
RSS has been around for decades because it works: a site publishes its newest articles, and your reader collects them. Startwerk uses that same open standard. Paste the address of a blog or news site, and Startwerk finds its feed for you.
Each feed gets its own card with up to 12 headlines. Feeds update when you open a new tab and every 30 minutes in the background, as long as you used Startwerk in the last day.
What the RSS widget does
As many feeds as you like
Add one widget per feed and arrange them across your Spaces.
Offline-friendly
Headlines are cached, so the card shows the last update even without a connection.
Asks for one site only
Chrome asks for access to the feed’s site and nothing else. You can revoke it any time.
Add a feed
Add the RSS widget
In Startwerk, click Edit, then + Widget, and choose RSS feed.
Paste an address
Paste a feed URL or the website’s address. The name is detected automatically.

Chrome asks once for access to that site. The headlines appear right away.
