Features

While It’s Hot Fever reads your feeds and picks out the most frequently talked about links from a customizable time period. Unlike traditional aggregators, Fever works better the more feeds you follow.

No Pressure By default Fever hides unread counts to spare you unsavory unread item guilt but sometimes you want to keep an eye on those climbing numbers. Control unread counts on a global, group or feed level.

Stay Hydrated Fever integrates with the popular Mac OS X single-site browser factory Fluid.app. The total number of unread items is updated in the Dock in real-time.
Download the Fever icon for Fluid.app.

Iconic If a picture is worth a thousand words a favicon is worth at least the title of the feed. Fever caches and embeds the favicons of all the sites you follow into a single, compressed file so reading is fast and intuitive.

Take It with You Fever includes an optimized interface designed specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch so you can access the current hotness, your saved items and the rest of your unread anywhere you go.

How Fever Works

To make the most of the Hot list, Fever asks you to make a simple distinction between essential and supplemental feeds. Essential, must-read feeds are Kindling. Supplemental, low signal-to-noise feeds are Sparks. Sparks ignite Kindling raising the temperature of items and links that should not be missed.
