Set up a Reading List Saver Shortcut for iPhone

The internet is full of incredible, long-form content, but discovering an interesting piece during your commute doesn't mean you have the time to read twenty pages right then and there. Leaving tabs open only slows down your browser and clutters your mind. A reliable reading list saver shortcut for iPhone allows you to instantly bank an article for later consumption. This automation directly ports the link from your browser to your designated read-it-later folder or Apple Notes database.

How this reading list saver works

Tap the iOS Share Sheet button while viewing any article on the web and select your custom save shortcut. The shortcut instantly scrapes the article's title and the exact web URL from the page. The content is cleanly logged to your Apple Reminders 'To Read' list or your designated Apple Note database automatically.
