Newslife is a minimalistic RSS reader with a number of exciting features. We like how the view displays the custom icons for each of your feeds. You can create folders to store feeds around a same topic. The right side of the interface includes a handy search tool and you can quickly view all feeds for the day or all unread ones. Another way of filtering posts is by clicking the source or published date on any post.

The newsbin section is the feature that stands out the most in Newslife. This is where you'll store all notes that you find of interest. Newslife lets you use these notes in a number of ways. You can send them by mail, digg them or post them on del.icio.us. Newslife also allows you to post feed items to your own blog, but you'll need to have an external blog editor like ecto, Feeder, Marsedit or Xjournal installed. Another cool feature is how, using the Mac Text-to-Speech function, you can listen to any note that you've put into your news bin.

We were a bit put off by the small font used in the menus and some buttons, especially in the menu on the right, are for some reason, difficult to press. It's also a bit disappointing that, despite all the advanced features, Newslife does not allow you to toggle feed views that much. On the whole though, Newslife is a solid offline RSS reader with some exciting sharing and organizing tools.
