An iPhone or iPad with iOS 27 or iPadOS 27, or a Mac with macOS 27, and an Apple Account to sign in. Tagging new links needs Apple Intelligence; everything else works without it.

Editions are written on Early Edition’s server, so they’re ready on schedule even when your devices are off. Your account also keeps your feeds, editions and links the same on every device. You sign in with Apple.

Choose Add Feed… and enter a site’s address or its feed address. Early Edition reads RSS, Atom and JSON feeds. To bring your feeds from another reader, choose Import OPML File….

Yes. Choose New Edition, up to three times a day. Scheduled editions still come.

Articles that are new since the last edition. Articles you haven’t read or seen come along to the next edition, so an edition you skip isn’t lost.

Yes. Turn off Include in Editions in the feed’s menu or in Edit Feed…. Its articles still show in Timeline. Up to 50 feeds can be in editions.

Editions are only made when there are new articles. Each account also has a monthly limit; once it’s reached, no more editions are made that month, and articles keep coming into Timeline.

The one you choose when you set up Early Edition, or later under Editions in Settings: English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese or Korean.

Turn on Early Edition in Safari’s extensions, then use Early Edition’s button in the toolbar to save the page to Read Later, Bookmarks or a collection. You can also save from the share sheet in any app.

Yes. Choose Import Links… to bring in bookmarks files from browsers and Raindrop.io, and CSV exports from Raindrop.io, Instapaper and Readwise Reader. You can export your feeds and links for other apps too.

Yes. Your links and collections are encrypted on your devices, so Early Edition can’t read them. Collections you share aren’t encrypted yet. Your feeds and editions aren’t encrypted, since Early Edition’s server writes your editions from them.

Collections that show only after Face ID or Touch ID. Their links are never tagged.

A device signed in to the same Apple Account opens it on its own. On any other device, choose Open Your Library… in the sidebar, or in Library on iPhone. Then approve it on a device that already opens it, after checking both show the same code, or enter your recovery key.

Usually not: your devices get the key through iCloud Keychain, or by approving each other. It’s for a device where iCloud Keychain is off and no other device can approve it. Any device that opens your library can show it: in Settings, choose Privacy, then Show Recovery Key… Early Edition can’t recover it for you.

Choose Share… from the collection’s menu and send the invite link. Sharing needs an Early Edition account. Each person can view it, or add and edit its links.
