Ah, could be good actually. Definitely better than nothing, thanks for finding that link, appreciate it

Have you found/tried any?

It is on-topic :) Thanks for saying that, I felt a bit like that when designing it but the feedback we’ve gotten so far was really positive. Might consider something less in a good sense overwhelming for the next version

We might be talking about different things: one off export is possible like you mentioned but no way to sync saved links to the reading list continuously as there’re no API’s for that from Apple

We’d love to but not possible (no surprise from Apple here)

Hope to get there some day ;)

It's free-mium with a Premium plan that includes some pro features if the generous free plan is not enough :)

Ha, why do you hate the reading list in apple? A few people asked us to sync their reading lists to Alfread but Apple doesn't allow that, of course

Great question! We're doing a few things here: managing articles, reminding to read them, and gamification.

As reading later is not a chore, Alfread helps archive or postpone articles with a Tinder-like interface, so you can find a gem you want to read right now.

Reminders work when or where you want them. For example, you can set a time reminder for your lunch break or breakfast. Or set you bus stop as a reminder, if you commute to work, for example.

Any habit needs a nudge and a reward. Reminders work like nudges and rewards are small celebrations when you finish articles and achieve your weekly reading goal.

Do you know any other ways that helped you get into any habit in the past?

It will! You can save Twitter threads to Alfread just like any link and it will make it into an easy to read article which you can also highlight.

Hey HN,

I'm Fedor, co-founder, and designer of Alfread, read-later app with a focus on the reading habit.

Internet is full of talented writers, articles, and newsletters that are worth reading, not just saving. Our goal with Alfread is to create a place that feels exciting to come back to. For new knowledge from your saved articles, for fresh perspectives on old topics, and sometimes for fun!

But a read-later app is not a to-do list. Not every article has to be read, it's not a chore.

That's why Alfread helps manage your queue giving quick actions to archiving and snoozing with a familiar Tinder-like interface.

We know, how hard it is to start and keep using new apps. To ensure a smooth start and get the most out of Alfread fast, you can connect your Instapaper/Pocket account to sync all your unread links.

Here's how Dustin McCaffree described his experience with the app: "As soon as I signed up, I had content and value. It just uses Instapaper or Pocket like usual for me to collect articles. But then it reminds me to read, lets me set streaks, allows me to "read later" or "archive." Then, if I haven't read them after a month, it'll auto-archive them. Boom "

Give it a try and let us know what you think!
