Requirements and privacy

  • Before you start: Enable Online Actions and save a personal Instapaper access token in this action's settings.
  • Your selected text: Sends the URL directly to Instapaper over HTTPS. The access token stays in the macOS Keychain.

Nothing is sent until you click the action. ActionClip never runs this integration quietly in the background.
