Free read later app · iOS & Android (Early access)

Save links now. Your reading list comes back when you're free.

Refloat is a link saver and bookmark app for read later, with no account. Save links from Safari, WhatsApp, or any app in two taps, set a reading window once, and get a daily digest that resurfaces what you saved on your schedule instead of losing it in a list you never open.

The Problem

70% of saved content is never revisited.

Too many saved articles, tabs, and bookmarks—and you never read those links again. You save in moments of curiosity on the train, between meetings, while scrolling. Then you forget what you saved; tab hoarding wins. The link sits in Pocket, the tab closes, the thought dies.

This is less about storage than surfacing: you need a read-later workflow that brings saves back. Refloat does both ends in two taps to capture, then a reading reminder and daily digest so your list shows up when you are actually free.

How It Works

Share sheet, reading window, daily digest

Save links from any app, queue them until your window opens, then triage in one pass: a link reminder on the schedule you chose.

01

Save from any app

Use the share sheet in Safari, WhatsApp, Slack, or anywhere else. Pick Refloat—done in two taps. Save articles and links without typing.

Refloat holds it for you

No inbox guilt. Your bookmark waits quietly until the reading window you configured.

Review when you're ready

Your daily digest surfaces the right items at the time you picked: a reading reminder so saves do not sit unread forever.

What you get

Two taps to save. One digest to review.

Save in 2 taps. No typing.

Share any URL from any app. Refloat extracts the title, detects the content type, and saves it like a bookmark app should: save links and articles without forms or logins.

Links resurface when you're free.

Set your reading window once (commute, evenings, weekends). Refloat queues new saves and delivers them as a reading reminder when you said you would be available.

Review without overwhelm.

The daily digest groups your reading list by topic and type, not only by time. Triage in seconds, skip without guilt, and open what matters first.

From People Who've Stopped Forgetting

Finally, a read-later app I actually use.

"I was saving ten articles a week and reading zero. This week my daily digest put three saves in front of me on the train; I finished all three."

"Two taps from the share sheet in Safari: I save articles while I scroll and I stopped losing recipes and long reads I meant to come back to."

"I had four hundred items in Pocket and never opened it. Refloat's digest felt like a bookmark reminder that actually worked; I felt caught up, not behind."
