Google KeepA great Instapaper alternative if you're already using Google's other appsGoogle Keep is another great cross-platform alternative to Instapaper, with apps for Android and iOS, plus as a Chrome extension.Keep also available as a web app that you can use in any browser, but you really need the Chrome extension to get the best experience. Navigate to a page or select a chunk of text, then click the button to add a title, comment and tags. There's no need to click 'Save' Keep will save and sync it automatically.Keep integrates neatly with Google's other products, making it a convenient choice if you're an Android user and already embedded in Google's ecosystem.Keep also functions as a to-do list, with options for note-taking and creating tasks. Once you've finished a job, you can mark it as complete and feel rather pleased with yourself then reward yourself by reading all those articles you bookmarked throughout the day.4. Microsoft OneNoteMicrosoft's note-taking app is well designed and works across platformsJust as Keep will be a natural partner if you're heavily invested in Google's system of apps, OneNote will fit neatly into your life if you're a Microsoft fan.Microsoft's note-taking tool has more of a business slant than most, but with the Web Clipper browser extension it makes a great alternative to Instapaper.

It also integrates with the context menu, so you can right-click items on a webpage to clip them.There's no way to add tags to your clipped articles, but OneNote is slick and well designed, and integrates neatly with the rest of Microsoft's apps.5. Apple Reading ListAn Instapaper alternative for Apple fans who want to read articles offlineIf you're an Apple fan, Reading List will be the natural choice when you want to save an article or webpage to read later. Open a webpage in Safari, tap the 'Share' icon, then select 'Add to reading list'.There are no fancy options like tagging, but it's very simple to use. You can search through your reading list to find a specific article, mark items as read without deleting them, and it's cached automatically so you can read everything offline. It's a shame there's no way to add just a selection of text, or organize pages into categories, but that's the price of simplicity.There are no plugins available for other browsers, and there's no Android app. This lack of flexibility keeps Apple Reading list from hitting a higher spot in our roundup of Instapaper alternatives, but if you only use Apple's devices then it comes highly recommended (and already installed).yyuoz6NnoDnnnDphfvAGfh.jpg# )
