✨The 1.1 update of my read-later app is now live on the iOS and macOS . It includes some nice quality-of-life improvements, so make sure to grab it!

https://apps.apple.com/app/flyleaf-read-later/id6475200381

New stuff:

  • Add PDFs to parse the contents and show them in the Flyleaf reading view
  • An "unread article count" badge – if you are into that sort of thing
  • Drag-and-drop support
  • A new red theme
  • Bug fixes and performance improvements (of course!)

😅 I was today years old when I realised that you don’t have to declare encryption export compliance manually for every build if you add this entry to your target properties:

Flyleaf is a “read-later” app that displays saved articles from the web in a meticulously designed reading view, without popups, ads or other distractions.

The distinguishing feature of Flyleaf is its unparalleled book-style pagination. You can read articles page by page instead of scrolling vertically.

Flyleaf is available for iPad
Flyleaf is available for iPhone

@maxmelzer Looks very nice, congratulations! To be honest, I expected to see a page curve effect like in Apple Books but apparently it's not possible (yet?). And, is it technically possible to import from Safari Reading List?

@croc Hi Alex, thanks for your email! I'm very sorry your first experience was kind of crummy. Your’e not the only one with issues with the GoodLinks import. I’ll look into it as soon as possible!

Alright, it’s time for a new beta! This build packs a lot of changes. I think we're getting close to the finish line.

To celebrate, I have reopened the beta to new testers. Tell you friends to sign up here: https://moehrenzahn.de/project/flyleaf/

My first iOS device was a 2nd gen iPod Touch and the very first app I purchased was @instapaper by @marcoarment. The „old“ Instapaper is surely the biggest inspiration for what has become.

That screenshot is from this lovely old-school @macstories article: https://www.macstories.net/news/instapaper-2-3-available-faster-omnifocus-integration-simply-better/

@marcoarment Hi Marco, thank you so much, that means a lot to me! I've been a listener of yours since the Build and Analyze days.

I have been pretty quiet here because I have been busy, but now I have something to announce. I built another app. It’s called and it’s a „read later" app for iPhone, iPad and macOS.

The app is currently in open beta and I would love for you to check it out and give me feedback! You can learn more on my website at https://moehrenzahn.de/project/flyleaf/

@maxmelzer Interesting. I've been a happy Omnivore user for the past while (after using literally everything else out there at one time or another), but given that I have just switched to using a Mac for work (and therefore don't really need browser support to cover WIndows), I'll take a look at it.
