Share any TikTok, Reel, Short, Reddit thread or article — it lands in your jar, filed automatically, glowing softly until you actually have time.
5 saves free — no account, no card · No account required · iPhone app in the works
You already know the moment — you see something great and you're about to screenshot it into the void. Do this instead:
In TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit or Safari — tap Share → Later Jar. Or just paste a link. That's the whole job.
Title, thumbnail and author are fetched automatically, and it drops into the right category — Recipes, Fitness, Travel, Tech, Funny and more. Pro upgrades the filing to AI.
Unwatched saves keep a little firefly glow until you open them. YouTube plays right inside; TikToks and Reels open exactly where they live. Finished items dim and file themselves away.
Most read-it-later apps were built for long articles. Your saves are TikToks, Reels, threads, recipes and articles — so that's what we built for.
Share sheet on iPhone, paste on the web, clipboard detection when you return. Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X and any website.
Every save lands in the right category automatically — smart filing on Free, AI-powered filing on Pro. No folders to make, no tags to remember. Re-file with one tap if you disagree.
Thumbnails, platform badges, and YouTube playing inline. TikToks and Reels deep-link straight back to where they play best.
Search across titles, creators, descriptions and links — combined with category chips. The screenshot camera roll can't do that.
Device mode keeps your library entirely on your device — nothing uploaded. Export everything as JSON or erase it anytime. Your saves are yours.
Pocket's own data showed a saved article is forgotten in about 37 days. So opening something here marks it finished — your library stays a clean queue of what's still worth your time, not a graveyard of 4,000 bookmarks.
Great tools exist for saving articles. Here's the honest picture — including what they do well.

Start free, no account needed. Upgrade when your library outgrows it.
Checkout by Stripe. You'll create your account first — Pro follows it across devices.
Tap Share inside TikTok or Instagram, choose Later Jar, done. The link lands in your library with a title and thumbnail, filed automatically. Tap it later and it opens right back in the app it came from — that's where those videos actually play.
Pocket shut down in July 2025 and most alternatives are article readers. We're that plus the half of your saves nobody else treats seriously: TikToks, Reels, Shorts, YouTube and Reddit threads, next to your articles in one library.
In device mode, your library never leaves your device — we couldn't look at it if we wanted to. With a synced account, saves are stored privately in your account and used for nothing else. Export as JSON or erase everything anytime, in Settings.
Free gives you 5 saves with every feature of the capture flow. Pro — $2.99/month or $19.99/year — removes the cap and adds AI filing, full-text search and cross-device sync.
Yes — Pro can seal any save under the lid. Sealed saves vanish from your board and search, and they're encrypted on your device with a PIN only you know (AES-256) — the server only ever stores scrambled text, so even we can't read them. Fair warning: forget the PIN and they're gone forever. That's what real encryption means.
YouTube plays inline. TikTok and Instagram don't allow real playback inside other apps — anyone who claims otherwise is showing you a preview. One tap opens the video exactly where you left it.
The iPhone app with the share-sheet extension is in the works. The web app works beautifully on your phone today — add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app, including Android share-sheet support.
Everything you meant to watch, read and cook — waiting in one place instead of 400 screenshots.
