Read Later: Instapaper and Read it Later for Mac
I just saw the news on my Twitter feed that Read Later was available for Mac OS X. This is awesome for me since I use Read it Later a lot, almost every hour I am reading something on it. Finally it will be possible to have a great reading experience, without worrying about internet connection or the web site UI, while trying to use Instapaper or Read it Later on your Mac.
The Verge report about it:
While a flood of dedicated apps have appeared on mobile devices for reading articles you’ve saved, desktop operating systems have mostly gone without. The newly renamed (and free) Read Later app — formerly ReadNow — from Michael Schneider acts as a desktop client for your Instapaper and Read It Later accounts. It’s a pretty straightforward concept: the fullscreen reading app syncs with your online reading queue services, and supports your list or archives, liked articles, and tags. It’s also got support for saving articles to services like Evernote, bit.ly, Twitter, Pinboard, and Delicious. Note: only Instapaper Pro users can use the app; regular Instapaper users will have to pay $1 a month.
You can get the app from the Mac App Store by going to the developer web site.
