Readkit For Mac

admin



Here are the steps on how to install a CAC Reader for Mac:

Feedly, Reeder, and Safari are probably your best bets out of the 12 options considered. 'Multi-platform RSS Monica' is the primary reason people pick Feedly over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that helps you make an informed decision. With Pocket having a great (and free) app available on the Mac, ReadKit is clearly aimed at Instapaper and Readability users looking for a desktop client, or people who use Instapaper for text and Pocket for everything else and who have been looking for a unified desktop experience. At $1.99 on the App Store, I recommend checking out ReadKit. Mac app icon design for ReadKit - full-featured read later and RSS client for Mac. ReadKit is already at Macworld, Lifehacker, CultOfMac, AppStorm, MacStories and featured on Mac AppStore!

ReadKit - Mac read-later client supporting all major providers: Instapaper, Pocket and Readability. Even more, ReadKit is a full-featured RSS reader as well.

  1. Ensure your CAC reader works with Mac
  2. Check to ensure your Mac accepts the reader
  3. Check your Mac OS version
  4. Check your CAC’s version
  5. Update your DOD certificates

  7. Look at graphs to see which CAC enabler to use

Step 1: Purchase a Mac Friendly CAC Reader

Purchase a CAC reader that works for your Mac. There are only a couple that you can choose from and I’ve listed them below.

If you already have a CAC reader and it isn’t Mac friendly, you could update the firmware, however, for the non-tech savvy people out there, it’s probably better to just purchase a new one and save the headache – they’re only ~$11-13 dollars.

Step 2: Plug in and Ensure It’s Accepted

Once you have your CAC reader, plug it into your Mac and ensure your computer recognizes it. If you have one of the CAC readers we suggested above, then you should be good to go.

If for some reason your CAC reader isn’t working, you may need to download the appropriate drivers for your CAC reader. You can find these drivers on the Reader’s Manufacturer Website.

Step 3: Update Your DOD Certificates

Now that you have your CAC reader connected and accepted on your Mac computer, it’s time to ensure you have the right certificates in order to access DOD CAC required web pages.

Procedure for Chrome and Safari

  1. Type ⇧⌘U (Shift + Command + U) to access your Utilities
  2. Find and Double click “Keychain Access”
  3. Select “Login” and “All Items”
  4. Download the following five files and double click each once downloaded so as to install in your Keychain Access.
  5. When you double-click the Mac Root Cert 3 and 4, you’ll need to tell your browser to always trust them. Click the button like you see below:

Additional Steps for Firefox

If you’re using Mozilla Firefox as your primary browser, you’re going to need to perform some additional steps. First, perform the same steps that you did for Chrome and Safari. Afterwards, follow these additional steps to get started.

  1. Download All Certs zip and double click to unzip all 39 files
  2. While in Firefox, click “Firefox” on the top left, then “Preferences”
  3. Then Click “Advanced” > “Certificates” > “View Certificates”
  4. Then Click “Authorities” and then “Import”
  5. Import each file individually from the “AllCerts” folder. When you do this, the below box will popup. Check all three boxes and click “OK”

Step 4: Download and install CAC Enabler

Choosing the right CAC enabler can be pretty tricky. It all depends on what OS you have installed, how you installed it, and even what kind of CAC Card you have!

In order to get the right enabler, be sure to visit our trusty guide to Mac CAC Enablers! It’ll walk you through exactly which enabler is right for you.

CAC Access at Home Success

Now that you have a CAC reader, certificates, and a CAC Enabler, you should now be able to access any CAC-enabled website and log on using your CAC password and data.

Common Reasons Why Your CAC Card Won’t Work On Your Mac

Ensure Your CAC Card Meets the Standards: In order for your CAC card to work, it must meet the minimal requirements. Currently, there are only four types of CAC cards that can be used. The ensure you have the right CAC card for online access, flip your CAC card to the back and if you have one of the below numbers written on the top left, then you are good to go:

  • G&D FIPS 201 SCE 3.2
  • Oberthur ID one 128 v5.5 Dual
  • GEMALTO DLGX4-A 144
  • GEMALTO TOP DL GX4 144

If you do not have any of the above written on the back, then proceed to your nearest PSD to get a new CAC card issued.

For those of you who aren’t RSS dependant, I know you’re sick to death of hearing about services post Google Reader. I apologize for having yet another RSS story. For those who live and die by your RSS feeds, you may want to listen up, I have a fantastic and very versatile app called ReadKit from Hungarian developer Webin to tell you about.

Old Habits Die Hard

They say old habits die hard – this is the relationship between me and desktop RSS apps. When you’re looking through hundreds of stories and press releases per day, you have to be able to do it quickly and comfortably. Web interfaces have come a long way, but they’ll never be as fast as something native. With Google, I was using the service not for its web app but as a way to sync different apps across different platforms. Having an API independent of your software also allows you the flexibility to try out things without having to import your feeds every time. That helps when you’re like me and notoriously picky when it comes to RSS apps.

There had been a graveyard of RSS apps in my wake before I finally found one I liked, NetNewsWire by Black Pixel. It served me well. Then the apocalypse happened. I went with Feedly as my new service of choice, but for the last two weeks have been stuck on the web interface as no desktop Mac apps supported it that I knew off. Reader, whose iPhone version uses Feedly has not released a new version of their Mac App. My old, trusted NetNewsWire has a new beta version and while syncing is promised, it’s sure not there now and they don’t say what form it will take. Then an app I had never heard of, ReadKit, come across my eyes. It had just added Feedly support as part of its 2.2.0 update. The Mac App Store reviews seemed to like it, so I thought I would take a chance.

The App

When opening up the app for the first time it will ask you to set up an account. You’ll be astounded by the amount of options you have. In addition to the aforementioned Feedly, you have Instapaper, Readability, Pocket, Pinboard, Delicious, NewsBlur, Fever, FeedBin, and Feed Wrangler. In other words, Pretty much every RSS and Reading service on the planet. If that’s not enough, it offers a local RSS option as well. Most of them are paid services and require a subscription. Feedly and Readability are free and work just fine.

If you’re looking for something profoundly different in the interface, you won’t find it here. ReadKit is your standard three-panel mail-type RSS reader. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’ll feel right at home. The one thing you’ll notice is how minimalist the interface is. There is no toolbar up top. It’s at the bottom, extremely thin, and is icon-only. ReadKit is unmistakably designed for reading and the developer didn’t want any distraction for that. It works as intended, since I don’t even notice the bottom toolbar unless I’m specifically looking for it. You get the standard options for search sync, search, mark as read, show/hide the panes, and tagging options. The one thing I don’t like however, is that search isn’t persistent. It’s toggleable, with off as the default setting.

So how is it working so far? That’s the big question here. For the most part, wonderfully. My perspective might be a bit skewed by by last couple weeks in a web app, but it’s very fast. I can read at over 800 words per minute. This is the first RSS reader i haven’t had to wait for. It works as fast I do. Syncing for both Feedly and Readability has been excellent for the most part. That being said, I have noticed an error a couple times that it can’t connect to Readability. This error left me unable to sync with any service and the only recourse was to restart. It’s very rare though, and I have notified the developer.

Where to Find It

Distribution is done exclusively through the Mac App Store for $4.99. That also means it’s for OS X only. There is also no iOS version. Fortunately, though Reeder has that covered pretty well. The price is very reasonable compared to the competition. Reeder for Mac is also $4.99, or at least was until they pulled it between versions. NetNewsWire is priced at $20 though you can get it for half that right now. Don’t worry about those two though unless you want a traditional toolbar.

Final Thoughts

I hadn’t heard of this app until 2.2.0 came out. The Mac App Store had 17 reviews of this version of the app, 14 five-star, 2 four-star, and 1 three-star. It didn’t take me long at all to come to the same conclusion. It’s not just the first Mac RSS app to have Feedly support, it might be the best Mac reading app out there today. At $5, it’s inexpensive. It’s fast, responsive and reliable. It’s simple, yet powerful in its organizational capability. It also works with darn near every every service out there. If you want a Mac RSS app, look no further.

Update: After I submitted this review, there was a major bug that affected syncing this software when used with Feedly over the weekend. I experienced this personally late last night. The developer has said on their twitter account that is a fix on the way. Until it arrives, here are Webin’s instructions on how to reconnect ReadKit to Feedly if you experience the sync error. I’ll update again when the fix is released in the Mac App Store.

Update 2: ReadKit 2.2.1 which fixes the the Feedly sync issue has been released to the Mac App Store.
