How To Use The Share Extension

Use the iOS share sheet to send articles and text from Safari or other apps directly into RSVP Reader.

The Share Extension is the shortest path from “I found this” to “I’m reading this.” The RSVP Reader App Store page says the extension works with sites and apps like X, Reddit, Medium, Substack, and Hacker News. Apple’s iPhone guide also says you can edit the Share menu so the actions you use most stay close at hand.

Quick setup

  1. Open an article or block of text in Safari or another app.
  2. Tap the iOS Share button.
  3. Choose RSVP Reader from the list of actions.
  4. Let the app extract the text and open a reading session.

If RSVP Reader does not appear at first, edit the Share menu and add it to your active actions.

Why this matters

This is part of the broader import anywhere flow. It matters most for reading for busy professionals and anyone who saves links all day.

When to use another import path

If the source does not cooperate with the Share menu, move to import from URL or clipboard. If the source is a PDF or book file, import anywhere and how to read PDFs faster on iPhone are better next stops.
