Times Reader is a Windows utility for reading The New York Times on the desktop. It is designed to give users a similar experience as reading the print edition of the newspaper.

Overview

This software requires Adobe Air for the correct functioning of all features. The main interface mimics the classic The New York Times page layout. New articles and stories are downloaded automatically throughout the day as they are published on the official website. Users can browse previous editions of the newspaper up to seven days back.

Please note that Times Reader is an obsolete program and no longer supported by the developer. Main functionality is broken.
