The reading list that actually gets read.

One click saves any article, video, or thread. Every Sunday, a digest with short summaries of everything you saved. Read what still looks good. Skip the rest.

Free. No card. Save first, sign up when you feel like it.

The whole system

Three steps. One is optional.

Save it

One click in the browser, one tap on the phone. No folders, no tags, no filing. Close the tab and move on.

Forget about it

Seriously — that's the design. We remember it so you don't have to. This is the optional step, and everyone does it anyway.

Sunday brings it back

One email, Sunday morning, everything from your week. Scan it over coffee. Open what still looks interesting.

Sunday morning

This is the whole product.

An email. It knows what you saved, it read enough to summarize each one, and it opens with a line about your week. That's what everything here exists to deliver.

It arrives once, on Sunday, in your inbox — not in an app you'd have to remember to open.

The honest part

You won't read most of what you save.
That's fine.

Nobody does. Other apps respond to this by growing a number in a red badge. We respond by making sure every save leaves you with something: the summary in your digest is the gist, even for the ones you never open. Once an item has appeared in a digest, it retires from your queue — read or not, it's handled.

And for that 40-minute essay you know you're never getting to, there's a button called "Maybe never." No judgment.

About the robots

We use a little bit of AI.

Every save gets a two-line summary and a few sensible tags. Your Sunday email gets a subject line. That's the whole act.

No chatbot. No AI feed. Nothing writes on your behalf. It reads a little, quietly, so that skipping things costs you less.

Things we refuse to build

No streaks.
No badges.
No guilt.

And absolutely no "You have 1,437 unread articles."

MaybeLater doesn't want your engagement. It wants your Sunday morning, and only the good part of it.

Suggestions

A shelf, not a feed.

Save enough and MaybeLater starts quietly suggesting pieces you might like, drawn from good sources and matched to what you actually save. It's the shelf a librarian left out for you — a handful of links, no infinite scroll, nothing fighting for your attention.

Your data

Leaving is easy.
We hope you won't.

Coming from Pocket or Instapaper? Import your whole library in one click — years of saves, nothing lost. And everything you keep here exports right back out, CSV or JSON, whenever you want it.

Read-later apps have a habit of disappearing. Your reading list shouldn't go with them.

Pricing

Free to use. Plus if you want more.

Both get the Sunday digest. Both get summaries. That part isn't for sale.

Questions

Answered plainly

Anything else, email support@maybelater.io — a person reads it.

What happens when I save something?
We fetch the article, extract the readable part, and write a short summary and a few tags. It sits quietly in your library until Sunday, when it shows up in your digest.
What does the AI actually do?
Summaries, tags, and your digest's subject line. It doesn't chat, doesn't write for you, and doesn't decide what you should care about. Small, useful, quiet.
What if I save nothing all week?
Then there's no digest that Sunday, and nothing nags you about it. MaybeLater is a tool, not a habit tracker. It'll be there when you're back.
Is my data private?
We store what you choose to save and nothing else — no browsing history, no tracking pixels in your digest, no selling anything to anyone. Your library is yours.
I'm coming from Pocket. Can I bring my saves?
Yes — upload your Pocket or Instapaper export and the whole library comes over, years of it. And if you ever leave, everything exports back out. No hostage-taking.
Why a sloth?
Because the whole point is moving slower than the internet. He's been with us from the start. He has read almost nothing. He's doing great.

Your first digest arrives Sunday.
