Inoreader How-to: Save time with Rules

Our new how-to post will bring all the power of rules - an automatic way to organize and manage articles in your Inoreader. Read on to see more about rules and how to use them, and don't forget to check all our other how-tos.

What are rules?

Rules are a handy way to automate your content consumption. They are applied to incoming articles and can filter content based on a number of conditions like keywords in the content, author names, URL strings or article attachments. You can use rules to automatically tag, star or mark as read, send articles to a number of services, broadcast, send to email or use desktop alerts.

Why use rules?

Like many other power-user features, rules may look a bit complicated to use at first, but the benefits can be huge. Rules do the basic filtering and organizing work for you - if you'd like, you can think of them as the rules you can use in an email client. They save time and boost your productivity by letting you focus on what's really important - reading.

You can make rules as simple or as complicated as you like, depending on your needs.

And the final answer to the question is simply "why not" - any Inoreader user can create their own rule, even with a Basic or Starter account type. Just give it a go and see if it's helpful to you (we bet it will be!)

How to create rules?

You can start creating a rule in almost any place on Inoreader. If you right-click a folder or subscription, when you click the article menu, you'll always find the Create a rule option in the context menu:

You can also create rules from the dedicated section in the Preferences menu. However, this is more convenient for managing rules and the easy right-click access is handy for creating new ones.

Creating a new rule is done in 3 easy steps:

  1. First, you have to choose the scope of the rule - it can go through all your articles, a specific folder or subscription. 
  2. Then you have to define the conditions that trigger the rule. This can be a number of different options and you can combine more than one of them. For the techies, rules support regular expressions. If you add more than one condition, you can decide if the rule should match all conditions or any one of them. When doing rules for a specific subscription, you can also use unconditional matching.
  3. Finally, you have to define the action that will be performed. This can be an action performed to manage and organize your articles, like marking as read, tagging or starring, a sharing action like broadcasting or sending via email or some action using integrated services like Evernote, OneNote, Pocket, Instapaper or Readability.

Just mix and match depending on what you need and once done, the rule will start functioning for newcoming articles.


Monitoring rules

Since we love stats, we've created a couple of ways you can monitor your rules. You can see the amount of rules in your account from the Billing and usage section in your Preferences menu. The Rules section of the menu will show your rules, together with information about the amount of articles the rule has matched and the options for editing you'd expect here. You also have quick access to the rule log, where you can see the last 100 matched articles for the specific rule. You can also add a log for your recent rule matches to your dashboard.


Do you already have some ideas how to use rules? Here's a couple of simple examples:


  • automatically broadcast your own blog posts
  • tag all Android-related articles in Engadget and then manage the tag in any way you'd like
  • mark as read the pieces on Madagascar from your Travel folder, since you went there last year and already know all about it
  • Mark as read all the news about Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian
  • Receive an email notification when someone mentions you directly on Twitter thanks to our Twitter integration.
  • Tag all articles containing videos with "Watch later" tag.

The limit to Rules is just your ingenuity and imagination.


Rules are available for all users to try, but have some limitations. Basic and Starter users can create only one rule - if you like the feature, then upgrade to a Plus or Pro account for more freedom with rules. If you still haven't tried the many benefits of Pro accounts, you can get a 1-month free trial.

那天見人攤開一些中國大陸「走紅中」明星照片和資料,名字不認識,說「紅」,多屬「網紅」一類,上不了台面,不過倒真是受年輕網民歡迎。只是位位差不多,男的小鮮肉(也有像蛇精男),女的全部大眼睛間尺鼻V煞臉,整了那麼些年,也出不了一兩個特別的,都倒模,所以聽人說這個XX,那個XX,實在分不出誰是誰,俗不可耐。

別說新星,就算已走紅幾年的小花旦,如近日與吳奇隆情訂電視劇《步步驚心》,舉行婚禮的劉詩詩,長相也清秀可人,演戲沒啥性格,白百何、王珞丹等均同型,倪妮較妖媚,能正能邪。定期修整的前輩們,每隔一陣亮相,愈來愈認不得。

香港女演員已斷層,幾乎無人可用,且也沒什麼港產片了。大陸來來去去失散姊妹。不止演員,連導演也難分辨才笑死。某回看一部五個導演合作,一人一個短故事的《奔愛》宣傳,他們算是有江湖地位的導演吧,也拍過賣座電影,張一白、滕華濤、高群書、張猛,全是個子不高頭髮不多的胖子,還都戴眼鏡,除了另一位管虎較高瘦滄桑外,四位形象差不多,有趣。

《奔愛》奔世界各地取景,大卡士,但票房和口碑平平。我反而很想看管虎的《老炮兒》(馮小剛主演)呢。

玩換手機之謎 - 林夕

寫吳克儉太多,或許會有人以為是對人不對事,看不過眼他的造型演出,簡稱雖無過犯,面目可憎,才故意挑剔,在鰣魚裏挑骨頭──我這話什麼意思?張愛玲曾說,人生三大憾事之一,鰣魚多刺。張愛玲在《紅樓夢魘》說的這番話,博學局長必有所聞,要挑他,沒難度,只是想吃鰣魚一樣,怕挑的不嫌煩,看的也嫌惡。

不想寫,但誰捨得不寫?想忍一忍手不挑他的骨頭,他自己帶頭為自己鳴冤叫屈:欲加之罪,何患無辭。

拋出來這成語,讓我們認識另一二創諺語:崩口人不避崩口碗。

有人屈你砌你,你窩在這車廂裏,窩囊了半個時辰,要為自己平反,要理夠直氣夠壯,才能贏回本來就不存在的面子的;言為心聲,就那簡單幾句憋在心裏的悶氣,腦袋沒崩壞的話,應具備連珠炮發的基本能力。吳局長的崩口,卻要每說三個字看一次貓紙,短短一段討媒體檄文,弄得一崩一崩的,還有什麼氣勢可言。

魔鬼藏在細節裏,內情見於微細處。吳局長喊冤,他在車裏沒有玩玩手機,其發音為玩(廣東話陰上聲)玩(陽去聲,音同換)。我揣度良久,玩換手機,這什麼意思?玩完了手機換一部手機再玩玩?後來猜到了,這疑團比此人能當局長淺白多了。一定是這樣的,除非不是:局長忙於推普教中,廣東話不大利索,看稿鳴冤時若唸成「換手機」,會以為時常換4寸版新愛瘋,會習慣性出醜,所以特別加上括弧,講稿可能是這樣的:「玩/(換)手機」。此稿可能出自對他有刻骨了解的下屬,也可能是他本人做的功課。但這勤奮的學生,躲得過「換手機」,避不過「玩玩手機」的命運。

以上,雖屬雞毛鴨蒜,但一沙一世界,從鴨蒜中觀照人心。一個人要有多虛怯、多沒底氣、多無能、多無心,才會當着鏡頭說得出玩玩電話?表達能力會影響以及反映思維能力,除非他只是怯場,會害羞,月讀三十卷書的人會知羞,誰信?為此,前線人員當然深深不忿不服氣,命運操縱在這等水平的局長,聽他指令搞教育,是對出心出力,忙得只剩下命的教育工作者最大恥辱。

何患無辭?聽他推介防治學生輕生法寶,每校派五千元搞活動,講到鬼食泥似的,我只想到新一宗欲加之罪:私藏偷泥罪。身為梁班子首席負資產,崩口人還咬到同僚的要害。要挑他骨挑他的頭,從來只怕辭彙不夠,只患無人請辭。

熨斗用途多多,仲可以烘多士,正呀!(互聯網)

近日見到網上不少美食烹飪影片,當中一招吸引人的就是熨斗烘多士法!其實平日用來熨衫的熨斗還有很多意想不到的妙用方法的。

1. 烘多士:三文治(夾乜餡都得!)兩邊表面塗上牛油,用錫紙包好,用熨斗在錫紙包好的三文治兩邊燙壓約30秒,就成為香口美味的多士!唔使開爐唔使洗pan,啱晒懶人。

2. 殺菌殺蚤:床鋪是最多蚤和細菌的地方,就算勤洗床單被鋪,亦難杜絕床褥的蚤和細菌,巿面上的除蟲蟎吸塵機所費不非,用加熱了的熨斗熨床鋪,可以有效殺掉大部份床褥內的細菌和蚤卵。

3. 除膠貼:家品或牆上貼了貼紙想去掉,可以用濕布先按在貼紙表面,使貼紙濕潤,用已加熱的熨斗放在貼紙的邊緣,然後挑起貼紙,便可輕易將貼紙撕起。

4. 加大碼:有彈性的衣服或毛衣有某些部位不合穿,例如手袖過短,腰位太窄,都可以用熱熨的方法,反覆熨那些位置,可以增長和增闊。
