Hands-On Apple 185: Safari Reading List

Listen Later

Pocket may be gone, but your Mac has a powerful built-in replacement that's been hiding in plain sight all along. Mikah Sargent reveals Safari's underutilized Reading List feature and shows how it can seamlessly replace your favorite read-later apps with smart offline capabilities and cross-device syncing.

  • Adding Articles Made Simple - Multiple ways to save content including the Shift+Command+D keyboard shortcut, shift-clicking links, and the "Add Open Tabs to Reading List" bulk option
  • Smart Organization Tools - Built-in search functionality and automatic sorting between read and unread articles to keep your list manageable
  • Powerful Management Options - Right-click context menu reveals options to open in new tabs, mark as read, save offline, or delete items entirely
  • Trackpad Gesture Controls - Swipe gestures for quick actions: right swipe to mark as read, left swipe to remove or save offline
  • Offline Reading Capabilities - Save articles for airplane mode or poor connectivity situations, creating local snapshots of web pages
  • Continuous Reading Experience - Auto-advance feature that seamlessly flows from one article to the next when you reach the bottom of a page
  • Keyboard Navigation Shortcuts - Built-in options to jump between previous and next reading list items for rapid article consumption
  • Automatic Offline Sync Setup - How to configure Safari to automatically save all reading list articles offline across all your devices
  • Reader View Integration - Combining Reading List with Safari's distraction-free reader mode for the ultimate reading experience
  • Customization Options - Theme choices (light, dark, gray, sepia) and typography settings (San Francisco, New York, Times New Roman, Georgia) for personalized reading
