What's New in Pile.
1.2
June 13, 2026
Pile is now fully standalone and calmer than ever. • Read on your own terms. No account needed. Your library syncs privately through your iCloud. • A friendlier save. The share sheet now greets you with a "Saved to Pile" confirmation and on-the-spot tagging. • A true dark mode. Deep, jet-black, and easy on late-night eyes. • Read offline. Saved articles are archived for reading anywhere — no signal required. • Cleaner reading. Tables, charts, and embedded video (including The Athletic) now come through intact. • Sort by topic. (Patron) Pile reads your library and quietly groups it by subject. • Raindrop, two ways. Log in to keep Pile and Raindrop in two-way sync. • Save from your computer with the new browser extension. Quietly yours.
