Instapaper, the Original Read-It-Later App, Just Got a Huge Upgrade
“稍后阅读”鼻祖 Instapaper 迎来重大更新
As you’ve no doubt noticed, there’s a lot to read on the internet. Vast numbers of new articles are published every day. There’s still quite a lot of it not being written by AI, too. 正如你无疑已经注意到的，互联网上有海量的内容可供阅读。每天都有大量新文章发布，而且其中仍有相当一部分并非由人工智能撰写。
Trying to keep up with everything can feel exhausting, and that’s where read-it-later apps come in. These apps will queue up content that catches your eye as you go to and fro across the web, and keep these articles, videos, blog posts, and social media updates bookmarked until you get a chance to catch up with them. When it’s time to dig in, the apps present the articles in a clean, uncluttered layout. 试图跟上所有内容可能会让人感到筋疲力尽，而这正是“稍后阅读”类应用发挥作用的地方。当你浏览网页时，这些应用会将吸引你的内容排入队列，并将这些文章、视频、博客帖子和社交媒体更新保存为书签，直到你有时间阅读为止。当你准备好阅读时，这些应用会以整洁、无干扰的布局呈现文章。
It’s a neat idea, but it needs to be well implemented for it to work—otherwise you can spend more time compiling and organizing your reading than actually catching up on your queue. 这是一个绝妙的构思，但必须有良好的实现才能发挥作用——否则，你花在整理和归档阅读内容上的时间，可能会比真正阅读的时间还要多。
Instapaper is one of the oldest read-it-later apps, having launched back in 2008. It’s also still one of the best options, even more so now that it’s been given a major revamp. Here’s what’s new, and why it might be worth your while diving back into your Instapaper account (or signing up for the first time). Instapaper 是最古老的“稍后阅读”应用之一，于 2008 年推出。它至今仍是最佳选择之一，而在经历了一次重大改版后，其优势更加明显。以下是本次更新的内容，以及为什么你应该重新登录你的 Instapaper 账户（或者首次注册尝试）。
Instapaper Basics
Instapaper 基础功能
Instapaper is available for the web, Android, and iOS, and reflows web articles into a tidily arranged, distraction-free format that doesn’t feature any ads, menus, or other onscreen furniture. You just get the text and the images, so reading the articles you’ve saved is a more pleasurable experience than it is on the web. Instapaper 支持网页、Android 和 iOS 平台。它能将网页文章重排为整洁、无干扰的格式，剔除所有广告、菜单或其他屏幕杂项。你只会看到文字和图片，因此阅读已保存的文章比在网页上直接阅读体验更佳。
You can customize the Instapaper interface in a variety of ways. The apps let you change the font style, size, and spacing, and adjust the background color of the “paper” that the text and images are placed on. 你可以通过多种方式自定义 Instapaper 的界面。该应用允许你更改字体样式、大小和间距，并调整承载文字和图片的“纸张”背景颜色。
Everything is neatly arranged on the screen, too. You get estimates for how long each article will take to read (as well as the option to see summaries of the text). You can use folders and tags to categorize saved posts in a variety of ways. Also, everything syncs seamlessly across all the devices you’re using Instapaper on. 屏幕上的所有内容都排列得井井有条。你可以看到每篇文章的预计阅读时长（以及查看文本摘要的选项）。你可以使用文件夹和标签以多种方式对保存的文章进行分类。此外，所有内容都能在你使用 Instapaper 的所有设备之间无缝同步。
Getting articles into Instapaper—a crucial part of the process—is straightforward. On mobile you can pass web links into the app through the standard share tools, while on desktop you can either paste the URLs straight into Instapaper, or use the extensions that are available for the most popular browsers. 将文章存入 Instapaper（这是整个流程的关键部分）非常简单。在移动端，你可以通过标准的分享工具将网页链接发送到应用中；而在桌面端，你可以直接将 URL 粘贴到 Instapaper，或者使用主流浏览器提供的扩展程序。
You can add and store an unlimited number of articles in Instapaper for free. There’s also a premium package available for $6 a month or $60 a year, which removes the ads from the apps, and gives you extras like a search tool, Kindle support, and the option to have your saved articles read out to you. 你可以免费在 Instapaper 中添加和存储无限数量的文章。此外，它还提供每月 6 美元或每年 60 美元的高级套餐，该套餐可移除应用内的广告，并提供搜索工具、Kindle 支持以及将保存的文章朗读给你听等额外功能。
Instapaper’s Big 2026 Update
Instapaper 2026 重大更新
I’ve been using Instapaper very happily for years, but not so much recently. That’s nothing to do with Instapaper, really. It’s more about an increase in work and family commitments, and having less time than I’d like just to read. It also means that my read-it-later list has grown to a scary length. 多年来我一直很愉快地使用 Instapaper，但最近用得少了。这其实与 Instapaper 本身无关，更多是因为工作和家庭事务的增加，导致我没有足够的时间阅读。这也意味着我的“稍后阅读”列表已经长到了令人恐惧的地步。
Now the service has got its biggest update in quite some time, which means I’ve got a good excuse to log back in and start chipping away at all the articles I’ve been meaning to read. The web app revamp is actually only the second full rewrite of the Instapaper code since the service launched, and it brings with it an elegant three-column layout that keeps everything in view and works really well on wide displays (like mine). 现在，该服务迎来了许久以来最大的一次更新，这意味着我终于有了充分的理由重新登录，开始清理那些我一直想读却没读的文章。这次网页版的改版实际上是 Instapaper 自推出以来第二次对代码进行全面重写，它带来了一个优雅的三栏式布局，让所有内容一目了然，并且在宽屏显示器（比如我的）上表现非常出色。
Other improvements include keyboard shortcuts (which I noticed are shown on screen next to menus when you start clicking around), and a new multi-select feature. You can now select all of the articles in a specific list, as well as using Shift+Click to select a range of articles in the queue. 其他改进包括键盘快捷键（当我开始点击操作时，注意到屏幕菜单旁会显示这些快捷键），以及全新的多选功能。现在，你可以选择特定列表中的所有文章，也可以使用 Shift+点击来选择队列中的一系列文章。
Over on iOS, the app has been given a full Liquid Glass refresh, and there are several improvements that cover section counts, section sorting, and a wider choice of appearance options (including new fonts). The existing AI Voices feature, which reads out articles in the synthetic AI voice of your choosing, has now made its way to Android, too. 在 iOS 端，该应用进行了全面的“Liquid Glass”风格焕新，并在章节计数、章节排序以及更丰富的外观选项（包括新字体）方面进行了多项改进。现有的“AI 语音”功能（可以使用你选择的 AI 合成语音朗读文章）现在也已登陆 Android 平台。
If you’re a premium Instapaper user, you can have articles read out by tapping the three dots up in the top right corner when a saved item is open. This can come in handy when you can’t read articles but can listen to them—when you’re driving or walking, or tackling the endless list of chores that need doing at home. 如果你是 Instapaper 的高级用户，当打开已保存的文章时，点击右上角的三个点即可开启朗读功能。当你无法阅读但可以听文章时，这非常实用——比如在开车、散步，或者处理家里没完没了的家务时。
