DESCRIPTION

Quiet Read is a new freeware application that lets you save any link for later.

Sometimes, when I am browsing the web, I want to store a link for later. There are note taking applications and everything-buckets to do that, but I wanted something light and simple. Simple as dragging a link onto a menu bar item to store it.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.2:
  • MobileMe sync.
  • Bookmarklet. Drag this link to your browser\'s bookmarks bar
  • Opera compatibility.
  • New preference to hide the links count.
  • Please contact us if you want to translate Quiet Read into your language.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.6 or later.

THUS.SPAKE.Z  Quit Read for OS 6 only?!!! Totally absurd! There are many Mac users who, like me, are staying with Leopard OS 5, which works very solidly and reliably, especially in its latest versions, (the current OS 10.5.8 is rock solid) and have no intention of upgrading to Snow Leopard(which still seems to have its problems)....at least not just yet, and maybe not for a good long while.

OS 5 is hardly antiquated, "old school" or outdated.

Quiet Read looks like a neat, handy app but I don't want it or any other OS 10.6 only apps badly enough to install Snow Leopard.

IDJSTER  This looks like a great app, but do things really have to be Snow Leopard only? There are a lot of macs out there that aren't Intel, and people are going to continue using them without updating to the new system. Please, developers! Remember the bulk of users and make these backward compatible!

SPRINGHEELMAC  All in all a nice enough app, but it seems easier to just use "Safari/File/Save As..." and save whatever page to docs.

CORTLAND  So we're coming out with 10.6-only apps already? Yikes. Developers, PLEASE knock this off. I'm still waiting for all the others to fix the apps that Snow Leopard's broken so far.

Sorry, this just irks me. >_

DR. GIRLFRIEND  This is wonderful! I've yet to come across a browser with decent bookmarking capabilities -- especially when it comes to temporary links that you just want to read later and not store -- so this little app really comes in handy. Very nice GUI too, but I agree with AWADO; the menu should gracefully fade away after the link is dropped rather than requiring an extra click to close it.

If you're using Firefox, you can perform a similar action using the Read It Later Addon and more advanced saving, editing, and organization of webpages using Scrapbook:

AWADO  This is one of those apps you will ask yourself how you could have lived without it.

The download doesn't work now as its file name contains a space. Take this one:

Would be nice if the menu could disappear after clicking a link. At he moment you have to click the menu icon to make it disappear.

DOOBIEXX  nice in layout and it does what you claim it does pretty well. I think this app would be a huge hit if you could somehow make a little screenshot of the website in a rollover so we can see what's on the site.

The style of the menu is very nice and I like the "smooth corner" look. A good example of what I am talking about with the screenshot on rollover is the application fantasktik. It has great roll over pictures but uses way to much resource and I don't like the layout, it's always blocking something.

A global hotkey to search the urls would be a nice feature when there is a bit of time. Overall I like the simple idea and think it could go for learning lessons from apps that have tried to perform this task. shovebox is also probably going to be the most mentioned comparision but shovebox does much more and is expensive shareware.
