Tuvix Tricorder: A Subscribe Button for the Web
Remember when websites had RSS buttons everywhere? Those little orange icons that let you subscribe to any site with a single click? Most web browsers even had built-in RSS feed discovery.
Most of that is gone now, but the feeds are often still there, syndicating content to people and feeding automation systems.
Tuvix Tricorder brings back that experience. It’s a browser extension that discovers feeds while you browse and lets you subscribe with a single click. Think of it as a subscribe button for the entire web.

Other browsers: Edge and other Chromium-based browsers can install directly from the Chrome Web Store. Safari users can manually install the extension by cloning the source code on GitHub and loading it as an unpacked extension in Safari.
What is Tuvix Tricorder?
Even though a lot of websites still offer RSS feeds, it can sometimes be hard to find them. That’s what was nice about autodiscovery built-in to web browsers.
Tricorder automatically discovers feeds on any website, and provides you with a customizable subscribe button for each feed.
- Discover feeds instantly: Find RSS/Atom feeds embedded in pages or located in common places without hunting through source code
- One-click access: Open discovered feeds in a new tab or hand them off to your feed reader
- Companion to Tuvix RSS: Seamless workflow if you run or use Tuvix, but useful with any reader that accepts feed URLs
- Cross-browser support: Works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and can be adapted for Safari
How It Works
Using Tuvix Tricorder couldn’t be simpler:
- Install the extension and pin the toolbar icon
- Navigate to any website you want to follow
- Click the Tuvix Tricorder icon in your browser toolbar
- View the list of discovered feeds and click Subscribe
- Subscribe via Tuvix, your default feed reader, or open the feed in a new tab
The extension scans pages for RSS, Atom, RDF, and JSON feeds—checking both the page’s metadata and common feed locations. No more digging through source code or guessing at feed URLs.
Open Source
Like Tuvix RSS itself, Tuvix Tricorder is completely open source. You can review the code, report issues, suggest features, or contribute on GitHub:
