We know Pocket has had a strong presence on iOS, [Android](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/18/pocket-for-android-app-updated/) and other platforms for quite some time now, but today the service formerly known as [Read it Later](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Read+It+Later/) announced it is now making its way to a bigger Cupertino screen. Naturally, Pocket's new application isn't much different than its mobile versions, meaning it'll offer the same offline access, save-for-later features as it currently does on the mobile front but with a more "native Mac experience" -- of course, this includes the ability to sync across multiple devices, stream videos and share tidbits via those cherished social networks. What's more, Pocket won't be charging a dime for its novel and handy OS X app, though this shouldn't come as a surprise given the outfit's somewhat recently adopted [no-cost model](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Read+It+Later/) -- still, it's a gesture most people will certainly appreciate, and one you Mac folk can start enjoying now by downloading from to the [desktop-based App Store](http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/20/app-store-for-os-x-unveiled/).
