Must Have Features in a Read Later Service
Read later service for me should have these features and attributes.
- Be cloud-based to enable access and syncing across different devices and platforms.
- Support metadata (tags, folders & description).
- Offer a well-designed share sheet implementation on iOS and iPadOS.
- Offer a great browser extension.
- Offer a native mobile application.
- It should work well with my go-to RSS reader, Inoreader.
- Be good at data mobility. In other words, it offers a data export option.
- Support article summarization with generative AI.
- Should be free if possible.
- It must support all Apple platforms.
Inoreader check them all.

Can you say Chaps?
Intriguing new product coming from the makers of Craft: Chaps. It seems to be a conversational service where users can build their own AI-based agents. Not integrated with Craft in any way, at least for now. The demonstrated UI seems polished as we can expect from them, but sadly we don’t get to see how those agents are built. I think “Ch_apps_” would have been a better name than “Chaps”, though. I hope they don’t get too much distracted from Craft because it still needs a lot of work and long-lasting issues are yet to be addressed.

Each time I select a few emails in Outlook at the office and then move them into a folder I think of Severance’s employees working on their computer to gather numbers and drop them in a bucket. Every. Single. Time. And now you’ll probably do, too. You’re welcome.

Looking at iOS 18.5 and I find that Apple is slow at iterating on AI. Nothing really new in AI. No mention of model improvements. Only a few things like turning off Mail automatic classification. I would have expected a much faster pace.

When are we going to stop referring to Musk as the richest man in the world. First, we don’t care as much as it sounds. Second, he’s probably the poorest man in the world if anything.

I’m again tempted by an Oura ring. One big showstopper: the mandatory annual subscription. 😒

It’s the time of the year when iOS feels the most stable. I’m liking iOS 18.4.

Apple users looking to improve their security posture? Here’s a guide that I wrote and shared recently.

Gurman: Jon Prosser’s iOS 19 Mockups ‘Aren’t Representative’ of Redesign - MacRumors
To be honest, Prosser’s video gives a very limited peak at iOS 19 redesign. More than 3 min 30 sec of introduction followed by a sponsor segment then followed by a short discussion about four limited mockups. Not his best work.

From my point of view, with recent security breach from the government members, more signs point to being much closer to a dictatorship than we are willing to admit. Many cabinet members are using Signal on purpose because they don’t want scrutiny, they don’t think they owe anything to the American people.

WWDC25: Still entirely online? No in-person labs or sessions? Only the keynote to be live? Is that it? Oh, and this glassy font, I’m not too fond of that.

So AirPods Max will get new audio features. The fact that only the USB-C model will support this is utterly frustrating, and I wish someone will sue Apple for that. Reason? When Apple launched the USB-C model last year, I don’t recall them saying there were upcoming features that wouldn’t apply to the Lightning port model. It looked like the only difference was the charging port. It appears that’s not the case, or Apple is trying to limit the features artificially to the new model.

Today, I’ve been to an Apple Store in Ottawa, Canada. My daughter in law bought a M4 MacBook Air. I even forgot to check the new blue Air! I wasn’t expecting this: I’m no longer excited to go visit an Apple Store. Times are changing.

My content creator ecosystem got updated today. Enjoy and I hope you find some inspiration in my digital tools selection.

I’ve been using Apple Invites app for a family-related event in early May. It’s a rather nice app for a family entrenched into Apple’s wallen garden. But a majority of people don’t understand that they need to visit the invite link then accept or refuse, instead a majority of invitees will reply to the message by saying “I’m going”… which is not enough… something is broken.

If you screenshot a post on Reddit on your iPhone, you get a warning telling you that sharing the post gives better results…. Yeah, of course, but for who are they advocating here? 🤔 spoiler: not the users.

I believe that for the first time in five or six years, not changing my digital presence is a positive thing. This feeling is especially strong since I resolved my email issues with Fastmail. Now, everything fits perfectly and meets most of my digital needs. It feels like time has stopped.

My transition from HEY Mail to Fastmail is likely the best digital move I’ve ever made, and I wish I had done it sooner. It’s truly a blessing. ICYMI: the migration process is available here.
