Quiet Read is a Mac application–available in a free as well as a $10 “Pro” version–for saving and managing the links you collect as you browse the Web. Sure, you can use other services like Read It Later, Evernote,Delicious (and alternatives to Delicious) to keep track of all of your links. However, Quiet Read is described by its developer as “light and simple”: you highlight the URL in the address bar and then drag it to the menu bar icon to save it. That icon will display a number to let you know how many different links are currently stored in your inbox. With the paid “Pro” version you can export those links in a variety of different ways: directly to Instapaper, to Read It Later, to Delicious, or to Pinboard; as an HTML-encoded list; or as a CSV file.
If you frequently find yourself sharing lists of Web links with others, then this is a very useful app: it makes short work of turning a list of such links into a document (HTML) or spreadsheet (CSV).
How about you? Do you have a favorite strategy or software application to save and manage your links? In particular, is there a similar app for Windows? Let’s hear from you in the comments.
