GReader-Checker is a project mainly written in ..., it's free.

Dispays number of unread Google Reader items in Safari's toolbar

GReader-Checker: v1.02 The GReader-Checker extension for Safari 5 is based off of the work of both Victor Adrée and Alejandro JL. I combined both of their codes and implemented my own icons and settings to give the best user experience when using the extension. I based my icons off of Matt Brett’s RSS feed icon.

What GReader-Checker does:

  • Updates a toolbar icon when there is a new feed item in Google Reader.
  • This updates you on your total unread count.

What GReader-Checker might do in the future:

  • Allow you to pick which feeds you want to be updated.
  • Enter a custom update time

Why should you use GReader-Checker?

  • It works
  • It’s pretty
  • It has more options than others out there
