Feedly Saved Opener

Open your saved Feedly articles in batch with one click.

A Firefox extension that opens all your saved Feedly articles in customizable batches and automatically unsaves them. Perfect for processing your reading list efficiently.

Motivation

My RSS/Feedly workflow:

1. On mobile: Skim articles in NetNewsWire (synced to Feedly)
2. Save interesting ones: Quick save/star for later reading
3. On desktop: Want to read them all at once in Firefox

The bottleneck: Opening articles one-by-one from Feedly's web interface is tedious and time-consuming.

The Solution

This extension opens all your saved Feedly articles in batches with a single click, automatically unsaving them as they open. Perfect for batch processing your reading list when you sit down at your desk.

Features

• Batch Opening: Open 1-100 articles at once
• Auto-Unsave: Automatically removes saved status as articles open
• Badge Counter: Shows saved article count on toolbar icon
• Customizable: Adjust batch size to your needs
• Secure: Token stored locally in browser storage
• Free Tier: Works with Feedly's free developer tokens
• Smart Batching: Optional mode to open all articles in controlled batches
