PlanetPress Watch Plug-ins

Many plug-ins have been made written for PlanetPress Watch for more specialized purposes. A number of them are made available here for download.

For instructions on how to install a plug-in, visit our Knowledge Base

Version 5/6
Any plugin designed specifically for either version 5 or version 6 is more tightly integrated into the application and can take advantage of all features available to native plugins. It is therefore recommended that you download plugins designed specifically for these versions instead of the older ones.
