FAQPage Schema

How do I automatically track new RSS and Atom blog posts without manual checks?▼

You can track new RSS and Atom blog posts automatically by running a feed monitor that discovers sources from homepages and surfaces unread articles. This eliminates manual checks by maintaining per-blog state for subscribed feeds.

Can I import OPML files to bulk subscribe to RSS feeds?▼

Yes, you can import OPML files for bulk RSS feed subscriptions. This allows simple workflow integration by bringing existing feed collections into the monitoring system at once.

How does automatic feed discovery work for blogs without a visible RSS link?▼

Automatic feed discovery works by scanning blog homepages to locate RSS or Atom sources. When a standard feed is not found, it uses an HTML scraping fallback to surface updates.

Does the RSS feed monitor support Windows, macOS, and Linux environments?▼

What is the best way to manage read and unread states across multiple subscribed blogs?▼

The best way to manage read and unread states is using a monitoring tool that maintains per-blog state. This tracks individual article progress automatically during each feed scan.

How do I start scanning my subscribed blogs for new content?▼

To start scanning your subscribed blogs for new content, run the blogwatcher-cli scan command. This initiates the tracking process and displays all newly discovered unread articles.
