Usage

  • Use the keyword rl to add the current tab of the frontmost browser to your read-later-list.
  • Any item in your reading list also shows up when using the keyword rl.
    • ⏎: Open the item in your browser and mark it as read.
    • ⌘⏎: Mark the item as read.
    • ⌥⏎: Open and keep unread.

[!NOTE] Unfortunately, Firefox is not and cannot be supported.

Item Previews

Install AlfredExtraPane for previews of the items.

Items are saved locally

  • The items are saved in a local markdown file on your disk. You can set the location in the workflow configuration.
  • The items are formatted in the markdown task syntax.
    • Unread items as open tasks: - [ ] [title](url)
    • Read items as completed tasks: - [x] [title](url)
  • This has several advantages:
    • No dependency on any read-later service.
    • The reading list is available offline.
    • Since Markdown is a widely supported format, you can access your items in many other apps as well, such as Obsidian. (Interoperability)
    • Easy backup: Just copypaste the file.
    • Easy sync: Just save the file in a cloud drive like iCloud.
    • By saving in a cloud drive, you can also access the reading list on mobile with any editor app that supports Markdown tasks.

Installation

The workflow auto-updates via Alfred's workflow-update mechanism.

Credits

In my day job, I am a sociologist studying the social mechanisms underlying the digital economy. For my PhD project, I investigate the governance of the app economy and how software ecosystems manage the tension between innovation and compatibility.
