The shortcuts called Reeder -> Matter and Reeder -> Raindrop begin by grabbing the URL of a post I want to save. The solution to integrating Raindrop.io and Matter with Reeder was Shortcuts. Plus, it was slow compared to saving links on iOS and iPadOS. However, that resulted in a cluttered mess of tabs and articles I forgot about and never saved. If I found something in Reeder I wanted to save, I’d open it in Safari, where I could use the Matter and Raindrop.io browser extensions to save articles. As a result, my Mac system was historically no system at all. ![]() It’s also where saving links can be surprisingly clunky compared to the iPhone and iPad’s superior share sheet. However, despite the limitations, I’ve come up with a workflow that includes those apps plus a set of four shortcuts that tie everything together nicely.īecause most of my link collection starts with Reeder on the Mac, that’s where I concentrated my automation efforts. It’s at this point that I started to think I might have to pick a different set of apps for collecting links, which Federico and I touched on in the latest episode of the Club MacStories podcast, MacStories Unplugged. Also, even though Matter works on M-series Macs, its share menu extension only seems to work with some apps, but not Reeder. ![]() The biggest hurdles my app choices posed are that Raindrop.io doesn’t support Shortcuts or the share menu, and Matter offers a single ‘Add to Matter’ Shortcuts action. For my purposes, Matter’s one Shortcuts action was enough, but I’d like to see more added in the future. ![]()
