One shortcut I like is ⌘+S to automatically save a URL from the clipboard. There are keyboard shortcuts and contextual menus for acting on items: you can Archive, Mark as Favorite, Delete, but also Mail an item, copy it, open it in the browser, or tag it. Like Tweetbot for Mac, transitioning from touch-based to point-and-click interaction has allowed the developers to rework some mechanics to take advantage of OS X while still feeling like an app that belongs to the modern era of iOS/OS X software. The Mac app follows in the footsteps of the iOS client when it comes to navigation and sharing options. ![]() It rises from the ashes of Read It Later (which both marketing-wise and functionality-wise was built around articles) to tackle the problem of a lack of time and single place to “save content for later” with a new focus: mainstream. Pocket wants to appeal to those people that don’t have time for articles, images, videos, or just about any webpage. The basic mechanics are the same, but the concept is much broader, and easily understandable by average users that may have been scared off by Instapaper’s sole focus on text. Pocket shifts the conversation from “read this article later” to “save stuff for later”. As a reminder as to the kind of content Pocket can save: The article list (the sidebar) features clickable elements in the title bar, which will open iOS-inspired popover menus for switching between Articles/Favorites/Archive (the “Pocket” menu), and filtering All Items from Articles/Videos/Images. ![]() Pocket for Mac is a desktop adaptation of the iOS client. I personally find Instapaper’s parser to be slightly more precise than Pocket’s when it comes to long articles, but I also find Pocket way better at parsing content than Readability, especially for embedded videos and images. On the left, there’s a sidebar listing articles and videos with thumbnails for visual previews the actual article (or video) is displayed on the right in a clean, Pocket-formatted view that uses the same parser of the mobile app. Pocket for Mac is a new app, but it borrows heavily in terms of underlying concept and flow from Read Later. ![]() According to Pocket, the former Read Later app will continue to work for existing users, but it will no longer be supported. Michael Schneider, creator of Read Later (nèe Read Now), joined the Pocket team to create the new Mac app you may remember Read Later as a client for Instapaper/Pocket/Readability articles that we’ve been following here at MacStories since the first version. I’ve been able to test Pocket for Mac during the past week. Pocket for OS X is available today for free on the Mac App Store. ![]() However, this does not activate the Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011 certificate, which allows the verification of code from Microsoft partners and is also used for the signing of Linux distributions in order to support UEFI SecureBoot from Windows Enable PCs.Pocket, the “save for later” service that relaunched as a major revamp of Read It Later back in April, is launching today its first official desktop application for OS X. Normally, Microsoft Windows cannot be operated on the current hardware generation from Apple unless the Windows Production CA 2011 certificate, which authenticates the Microsoft boot loader, is installed via the Apple Boot Camp Assistant To be able to use Boot Camp on MacOS devices. The new Mac Mini, like the MacBook Air 2018, the current MacBook Pro generation and the iMac Pro, can no longer boot Linux, as Apple's T2 chip verifies every step of the boot process with crypto keys that are signed by Apple have to. With the new generation, which also relies on Apple's T2 security chip, this is no longer easily possible for less experienced users. Until now, Linux was comparatively easy to use on the Mac Mini due to the missing touchpad, keyboards and only one GPU.
