Classic read-later
An Instapaper alternative that does more than store
Instapaper is the classic read-later: plain, reliable, perfect for quiet reading. It picked up many Pocket orphans. But its scope has barely moved in ten years — save and read.
Keepli takes over where Instapaper stops: once an article (or video) is saved, you can summarize it, connect it to the rest of your research and question it in natural language.
