Quick Save with Back Tap

Save links to Later instantly by tapping the back of your iPhone — no need to open any app.

How It Works

1. Copy any link in any app (Safari, Twitter, WeChat, etc.)
2. Tap the back of your iPhone (double or triple tap)
3. The link is automatically saved to Later in the background ✨

Setup Guide

Step 1: Create a Shortcut

1. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the + button in the top-right corner to create a new shortcut.
3. Tap Add Action, search for "Clipboard", and select "Get Clipboard".
4. Tap + again below that action, search for "Later", and select "Save Link to Later".
5. Make sure the Input parameter of the "Save Link" action is set to "Clipboard".
6. Tap the name at the top and rename it to something like "Save to Later".
7. Tap Done to save.

Your shortcut should look like this

Get Clipboard → Save [Clipboard] to Later

Step 2: Bind to Back Tap

1. Open iPhone Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap.
2. Choose Double Tap or Triple Tap.
3. Scroll to the Shortcuts section at the bottom, and select the shortcut you just created (e.g., "Save to Later").

Compatibility

Back Tap is available on iPhone 8 and later, running iOS 14 or above.

Step 3: Start Using

That's it! Now whenever you see an interesting link:

1. Copy the link (long press → Copy, or tap the Share button → Copy Link)
2. Tap the back of your iPhone twice (or three times)
3. You'll feel a subtle haptic feedback — the link has been saved to Later!

Later will automatically fetch the page title, preview image, and generate an AI summary in the background.

Note

Make sure you've copied a valid URL to the clipboard before tapping. If the clipboard doesn't contain a URL, the shortcut will show an error message.
