Saving with Apple shortcut

Save links to Faved from the Share Sheet on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS — and the Services menu on Mac.

The Apple Shortcuts integration lets you send links straight to Faved without leaving the app you're in. Tap Share in Safari, your RSS reader, or anywhere else on your Apple device, pick Add to Faved, and the page lands in your library. On Mac, the same shortcut is also a click away in the Services menu.
