iPhone shortcut

Open any article in smry with one tap.

Add the shortcut once. After that, every article is one share-sheet tap away from a clean smry reader page.

Add Shortcut

Free. Works on iPhone and iPad with the built-in Shortcuts app.

Setup steps

  1. 1

    Add the shortcut

    Tap Add Shortcut above. The Shortcuts app opens with a preview of Open in smry — confirm once and it is installed.

  2. 2

    Open an article

    In Safari, go to an article you want to read and tap the share button in the toolbar.

  3. 3

    Tap Open in smry

    Open in smry now lives in your share sheet, next to Copy and Add to Reading List. Tap it.

  4. 4

    Read in smry

    The clean, readable version opens instantly. It works from any app with a share sheet — News, Mail, Messages, not just Safari.

Keep it at the top

In the share sheet, scroll to the bottom and tap Edit Actions, then add Open in smry to Favorites. It will always appear first from then on.

Safari downloaded a file instead?

On some devices the Add Shortcut button saves a smry-ios.shortcut file rather than opening the Shortcuts app. The fix takes three taps:

  1. 1

    In Safari, tap the menu button at the right end of the address bar.

  2. 2

    Tap Downloads and open the smry-ios.shortcut file.

  3. 3

    Tap Add Shortcut in the preview that opens.

Ready to try it?

Add the shortcut and open your next article without the clutter.
