Reader 0.3.3
Download Reader.dmg, open it and drag Reader into Applications. Reader is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so the first launch needs System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. It runs on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 13 or later.
Updating from Read Later 0.3.2 or earlier is a one-time manual download, because those versions have no updater. Your library carries over. From 0.3.3 on, Reader can update itself from Reader → Check for Updates….
Added
- "Check for Updates…" in the app menu, and a daily launch check that can be
turned off with "Check for Updates Automatically". When a newer release
exists, a banner offers Install and Relaunch, Later, or Skip This Version.
Install downloads the release'sReader.dmg(orRead-Later.dmgfrom
older releases), verifies the app inside, swaps the bundle after quitting
and relaunches. A copy that cannot replace itself opens the release page in
the browser instead.
Changed
- The app is now called Reader. The bundle is
Reader.appand the release
disk image isReader.dmg. Updating from Read Later replaces
Read Later.appwithReader.appin the same folder. The bundle
identifier, library location, Keychain item and settings are unchanged, so
existing libraries open as before. - The repository is now
rakshithxaloori/macOS-reader.
Known issues
- The app is ad-hoc signed, so after each update macOS asks again before
Reader can read its WhatsApp key from the Keychain. - A Dock icon pinned to
Read Later.appneeds pinning again after the update
turns it intoReader.app. - An update briefly needs room for two copies of the app, which can take the
app and library above 100 MB until the old copy is removed.
Read-Later.dmg is the same disk image as Reader.dmg, under the old name so existing download links keep working.
