Why I Made It

I had been a happy Pocket user for many years and was dismayed when Mozilla shut down Pocket in July of 2025. Like many people, I’ve been looking for ways to self-host useful services to reduce my dependence on cloud-based subscriptions which could disappear or change terms. Thus, I started looking at self-hosted “read-it-later” replacements for Pocket and I experimented with a number of them such as Wallabag, LinkWarden, Hoarder, Readeck, etc.

Ultimately, I found Readeck to have the right balance of features, UI and deployment simplicity for me.

Being in the Apple ecosystem, I found a great Readeck iOS app for my phone but could only find Chrome and Firefox extensions for desktop browsers and nothing for Safari.

I created an Shortcut that could get the job done but the UI was clunky in that it required you to click “Share → Shortcuts → Save to Readeck” each time but I just wanted a simple button in my Safari toolbar.

Thus, out of my frustration, I decided to bite the bullet and create it myself and it works pretty well. I imagine there are probably others out there who might also find it useful so I looked into getting it into the App Store.

Frankly, I’ve spent more time going through the developer application process, business and tax paperwork, App Store Connect processes and other administrative work than I did building the Safari Extension.

I hope you find it useful and worth the $0.99 price which will go towards paying for my Apple Developer license.
