A read-it-later library for heavy readers

Readwise Reader is a read-it-later app: you send things to it now and read them later. The listing presents it as a successor to Instapaper and Pocket, aimed at what it calls power readers, and it is listed as a public beta.

Everything you save lands in one library rather than in a separate app for each source. Writers and researchers quoted on the listing describe it as a fit for a writing workflow.

Saving web articles, threads, newsletters and feeds

Web articles, Twitter threads, email newsletters and RSS feeds all come into the same place. A single list covers what you saved from a browser, a feed and an inbox.

Videos are part of the same collection, so they sit alongside the written material rather than in a separate tool.

Reading PDFs and EPUB books in the same app

PDF and EPUB files are handled in the same app as web pages, so a report or a book you have on hand does not need its own reader. The listing names these two formats directly alongside the web sources.

The app comes with a 30 day free trial. After the trial, a subscription is required to keep using it.

Fitting it into a daily reading routine

The listing's testimonials describe the app as a reading tool for people who spend the day reading, researching and writing. That use case is the one the listing repeats most.

Because articles, newsletters, feeds, videos and documents all go to one place, the app is built around keeping a single reading queue rather than moving between several tools.
