Due to a trademark infringement notice I had to bring ReadNow down temporarily.

I am pleased to announce that ReadNow is now Read Later and is available immediately and completely Free!

I created Read Later as I really wanted a Mac Client for Read It Later / Instapaper and couldn’t find one. It has been a really great experience and I learned a lot in the development phase from version 0.1 to the current version 2.0.2.

The new version has a few updates
- [Added] Save fullscreen state
- [Added] Caching of delete bookmark operations
- [Added] Keyboard Shortcuts in the Sharing Popovers
- [Fixed] Case Insensitivity in the bookmark search
- [Fixed] Close of Popover Windows
- [Improvements] Share with Evernote

You will find additional information under the following link:

Read Later

Thanks, Michael

You will find Read Later at: Read Later

It was very quiet about ReadNow in the last weeks, but this was for a reason. I’ve worked very hard and are really happy to announce that ReadNow 2 will be released today. It’s available on the Mac App Store and a free update for all current ReadNow users.

This is the biggest update since the first release of ReadNow about 1.5 years ago. In the following I will introduce some changes and new features of ReadNow 2.

Completly redesigned User Interface

First of all, ReadNow has a complete new design as well as a complete new menubar and application icon. It’s also no menubar only application anymore.

Minimalistic

ReadNows Main Window is now fully customizable in the window size or the way bookmarks, folders and the associated articles should be displayed.

Article View

Furthermore the Article View is completly redesigned. It’s fully customizable to fullfill the personal reading expectations and extend the experience to read full articles within ReadNow. The Article View also supports 3 themes: Paper, Light and Dark.

Multiple Accounts Support

Manage one Instapaper and one Read It Later account at the same time.

Offline Mode

A next big change is the offline mode. It’s now more like the iOS application of your read later service of choice. All articles of bookmarks will be downloaded and cached to have access also if the Mac is offline. Actions like archiving / unarchiving or liking / unliking of bookmarks will be saved too and the changes will be pushed to the service in the next bookmarks syncing cyclus.

Drag and Drop

Faster change of bookmark folder or assign tags. Just drag and drop a bookmark onto a folder or tag and it will be moved to this folder or the tag will be assigned.

Sharing

New sharing services are available. With ReadNow 2 sharing bookmarks on Twitter, Facebook, Pinboard, Delicious and Evernote is integrated and it’s planned to extend it to further services in upcoming updates.

Other changes:

- Search in the Article View
- Tag autocompletion in the edit window
- Redownload article
- Second click menubar icon menu
- Folder management for Instapaper
