Bleam For Mac

Reddit is a popular destination for finding interesting articles and interacting with others that share your interests, but keeping all that action in your browser can prove to be uninspired.

Bleam is a Mac OS X desktop client designed to help you read Reddit posts and comments without cluttering your browser. However, you cannot access the website without logging in, so make sure to register for a Reddit account.

The Bleam user interface is represented by a single window split into three columns: the first provides a list of monitored subreddits and quick links for your account’s feeds, the one in the middle shows all the posts in a certain category, while the last one is reserved for showing the content of the currently selected post.

Bleam also comes with a simple search tool to help you find posts on certain subjects faster. Moreover, clicking on a subreddit tag summons a small panel that includes a short description and allows you to subscribe to the channel.

The application attaches to each Reddit post Gold, Share and Reply buttons, so you don’t have to go to the browser to express your opinions. What's more, Bleam also offers you the possibility to watch YouTube videos within the application.

Naturally, you can use Bleam to post new content to a single subreddit or to more than one category at the same time. Moreover, the utility also packs moderation tools.

Unfortunately, during our test we have noticed that certain URLs included in Reddit posts do not work properly in Bleam, even if everything is OK if you open the thread in the web browser.

The app seemed to have issues displaying the text of longer posts in the entries column, which might prove to be annoying for some.

To sum things up, if you are looking for a way to access the Reddit website in a more organized and visually pleasing manner, Bleam can help you a lot. Nonetheless, keep in mind that certain functions might not work as you expected just yet.
