Pushbulletīefore Lookmark showed up, I used Pushbullet (along with Pinboard, which I’ll talk about below) to hack around a solution of my own. It will notify you about the apps you’ve saved when you get home and connect to a Wi-Fi network, so you can quickly swipe and install the app. When you open the Lookmark app it will show a list of all your saved apps (just like Pocket shows a list of your saved articles). Go to the App Store page for any app, hit the “Share” button, and tap the “Lookmark” button once it’s activated. (This is a super easy way to save apps you’re reading about.) The same works on iOS.

Now, when you’re browsing around on the desktop and come across that hot new app, just hit the extension button from any web page, and if it includes links to any apps, they’ll be added to your account. Log in with the same account at both places. On your desktop, install the Chrome extension (sorry Firefox users), and on your iPhone or iPad, install the Lookmark app (and also activate the extension). It’s a service designed specifically to solve your FOMOOA (I’m sure it’s going to catch on). And if you’re just coming into this, it’s what you should look at. So for a long time I’ve been hacking around a solution for saving apps. When I’m on Twitter or catching up on RSS, and I come across an iOS app that I just need to try out, right now while it’s hot, if I don’t save it somewhere, I’ll just forget about it, and my Twitter followers will never get to hear my snarky comments about the hot new app. And I also carry an Android phone (for work). I spend a lot of time on my Mac, way more than I do on my iPad or iPhone. If you’re like me, your browsing experience is spread across multiple devices running different operating systems.
