The things you saved, a few a day.

Bookmarks, highlights and read-later links pile up and are never seen again. Put them here and a few come back each day, the ones you never looked at first. You choose how many and from where.

A browser’s bookmarks export (.html), a Kindle’s My Clippings.txt, or any list. Read on this page; nothing is sent.

Questions people ask

What can it read?
A browser’s bookmarks export (every browser writes the same .html; the folder becomes where it came from), a Kindle’s My Clippings.txt (highlights and notes, by book), or any list: one link or line each, with a # heading to group them.
How does it choose?
Ones you have never seen come first, oldest saved first. “Keep it coming” brings one back in 7 days, then 14, 30, 60 and 120. “Not now” brings it back in 3 days. “Done with it” retires it. Today’s few are chosen once: answering one does not pull in another.
Will it remind me?
No. It has no notifications and no streak. It shows its few when you open the page, and you can set it to one a day.
Where is it kept?
In this browser, on this device, up to 5,000 items. Download them all as Markdown to keep them anywhere; chanio on a Mac reads Markdown.
