iPhone setup

1. Put Reread on your Home Screen

  1. On your iPhone, open in Safari and log in.
  2. Tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen.
  3. Open Reread from its new icon. It runs full-screen like an app, and unread articles stay readable offline.

2. Save from any app with a Shortcut

This adds Save to Reread to the share sheet in Safari, Mail, News, Twitter and so on.

Checking whether the Shortcut token is set up…

Then build the Shortcut on your iPhone:

  1. Open the Shortcuts app and tap +. Name it Save to Reread.
  2. Tap the ⓘ (details) button and turn on Show in Share Sheet. Under share sheet types, keep URLs, Safari web pages and Text.
  3. At the top, where it says “Receive … input from Share Sheet”, set If there’s no input to Get Clipboard.
  4. Add the action Get Contents of URL and set:
    • URL:
    • Method: POST
    • Headers: add one. Key Authorization, value
      and replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with your token.
    • Request Body: JSON. Add a Text field with key url, and for its value pick the Shortcut Input variable.
  5. Optional, so you know whether it was new: add Get Dictionary Value for key message in Contents of URL, then Show Notification with that Dictionary Value. It says “Saved to Reread”, or “Already saved: …” if you have it.

To use it: on any page or link, tap Share → Save to Reread. It shows up in Unread right away and comes back in Today tomorrow.

On a computer

Drag the Save to Reread bookmarklet from the bottom of the main page to your bookmarks bar.
