Save URL’s for Later Reading with Quiet Read

Sometimes, a really simple app can do wonders to your productivity. One among them is Quiet Read, a free application released recently from BambooApps. With Quiet Read, you can just bookmark pages and mark them for later review just by simple “drag and drop” .

I’ve been using Quiet Read for the past few hours, and what I really like about it is, its minimal implementation. Since it sits there in the menu bar all the time, its as simple as just drag and drop the page you want to read later onto Quiet Read in the menu bar. The display on the icon keeps track of how many URL’s you’ve collected and a neat drop-down lets your browse the saved articles for easy read at any time.

Of course there are other applications like Instapaper and Evernote, that let you do a lot more, like saving the articles, internet based sharing, I feel that Quiet Read has done a good job of doing the basic thing just right.

What I’d like to see in the future versions of Quiet Read :

• Ability to save screenshots of the URL, and some sort of Coverflow View for fast browsing (Or Hover based actions).
• Sync saved pages with Delicious bookmarks.
• Ability to categorize or label the saved URL’s (for eg. Work, Personal, Fun etc..)

But Quiet Read hasn’t set out to do everything in the world.. If you’re looking for a simple and intuitive way to read saved articles later (and you’re running Snow Leopard), Quiet Read could be the solution you are looking for.
