A calmer way to keep up with what matters.

ListenHighlightSummarize

Your reading practice, supported

Fewer tools. More finished reading.

Everything is organized around one promise: the ideas you save should be easy to find, finish, and use.

01

A copy that stays

FetchMark archives the readable article, not just its address. If the original page changes or disappears, your copy remains.

02

Search every word

Find an idea from months ago by searching the article text—not only titles, folders, or tags.

03

Listen when reading waits

Turn saved articles into an audio queue for a walk, commute, or the hour your screen needs a rest.

04

Keep the part that mattered

Highlight passages and add notes inside a quiet reader built for attention rather than engagement.

05

Understand before you commit

Use a concise AI summary to decide what deserves a deep read and what can leave your queue.

06

Publish a reading list

Turn the links worth sharing into a public collection that friends and readers can save in one click.

Bring your reading history

Your old bookmarks already belong here.

Move from Pocket, Raindrop, Chrome, or any exported HTML, CSV, or text file. FetchMark keeps your links and archives them into one searchable home.

Why a read-later app beats open tabs

Open tabs slow your computer, disappear when the browser crashes, and turn into guilt. A read-later app gives every interesting article one calm place to wait until you have the time and attention for it.

What to look for in a read-later app

Before you trust an app with years of reading, check that it offers:

  • A real copy of the article, not just a link that can break.
  • Full-text search, so you can find an idea you only half remember.
  • Offline reading for flights, commutes and bad connections.
  • Easy saving from your browser, phone and email.
  • A way to export everything, so you are never locked in.

How FetchMark handles each of these

FetchMark saves the readable article and its images as your own copy, searches every word, works offline, and exports to Markdown. You can save from the web app, the Chrome extension or by email, and import existing bookmarks from Pocket, Raindrop, Instapaper or any browser.

Reading tools — highlights, notes, listen-to-article audio and short AI summaries — help you actually finish what you save.

Frequently asked questions

What is a read-it-later app?

A read-it-later app lets you save articles you find during the day and read them later in a clean, distraction-free view. FetchMark also keeps a permanent copy of each article.

What is the best read-later app now that Pocket has shut down?

Look for one that keeps your articles if the original page disappears, searches the full text, and lets you export your data. FetchMark does all three and imports Pocket exports.

Can I read saved articles offline?

Yes. Articles you open while online are stored on your device, so reading and search work without a connection.

Does FetchMark work on my phone?

Yes. FetchMark runs in any mobile browser and can be installed to your home screen like an app.

How do I save an article to read later?

Paste the link into FetchMark, click the Chrome extension, or forward the link to your private FetchMark email address.

Is FetchMark free?

Yes. It is free during Open Beta with every Pro feature unlocked and no credit card required.
