Download and try for yourself
Give the .telexer a spin – it’s free! You can conveniently install it right from this page.
The app will not load any extra stuff that might make your computer unstable, nor any dodgy toolbars or advertising.
The .telexer comes pre-configured with six feeds. These are just examples to get you started; you’re more than welcome to throw them out and add your own.
Easy web install
When you click on the installer badge here on this page, the application will be downloaded and installed from here, the Air way. It will check to see if you have the Adobe Air player installed already – basically, a flash player for the desktop – and if not, it will install that as well. In the dialog, click “Open” instead of “Save” to start the automatic install process. The installer will also warn you that the application will get “system access”. This just means that it does the same as any other application, in that the .telexer will store your settings and preferences on your computer. Nothing dodgy, just convenient.
