Shrook 1.0 is an RSS news gatherer that consolidates items from any RSS-enabled Web site into a simple interface. In additon to the usual RSS features (keeping track of what items you’ve read, when the site was last updated, automatically checking the channel, alerting you when sites update), Shrook offers a “New” tab that lists channels by the date they were updated, can keep items for a user defined time, allows separate settings for each channel, and has an auto-updating channel guide. Shrook is US$19.95 shareware and requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
