Save Articles to Read Later — Distraction-Free
Found an article you don't have time for right now? Save it in one click and read it later in a clean, ad-free view. Track your progress, read offline, and subscribe to RSS feeds — all in one app that also handles your movies, books, recipes, and more.
Pick Up Right Where You Left Off
Reading progress is tracked automatically. Come back hours or days later and continue seamlessly.
Everything a Read Later App Should Be

Click the browser extension, use the mobile share sheet, or paste a URL. Linkflare strips away ads, pop-ups, and clutter — leaving only the content worth reading.
Distraction-Free Reader Mode
Every article opens in a clean, beautiful reader view. No auto-play videos, no cookie banners, no newsletter pop-ups. Just the text.

Read Later — FAQ
How is Linkflare different from Pocket?
Linkflare does everything Pocket does — save articles, read later, distraction-free reading — but adds smart metadata for movies, books, recipes, and more. You get a universal bookmark manager, not just a read-later app. Plus: offline reading, RSS feed subscriptions, reading progress tracking, and no paywalled features for basic organization.
Does Linkflare save articles for offline reading?
Yes. Linkflare is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that caches recently viewed articles on your device. Read on the subway, on a plane, or anywhere without internet. Your reading position and notes sync back when you reconnect.
Can I subscribe to RSS feeds?
Yes. Add RSS/Atom feed URLs and new articles automatically appear in your Linkflare inbox. Great for following blogs, news sites, and niche publications without subscribing to email newsletters.
Does Linkflare track my reading progress?
Yes. Articles show a progress bar and Linkflare remembers your reading position. When you return to an article, it scrolls to where you left off. You can also see the estimated reading time before starting.
What about articles behind paywalls?
Linkflare saves the content available at the time of saving. If an article is freely accessible when you save it, the full text goes into your Vault. Paywalled articles will save whatever content is available publicly.
Can I import my Pocket or Instapaper library?
Yes. Linkflare supports importing from Pocket (HTML export), Instapaper (CSV export), Chrome bookmarks, and Raindrop. Your saved articles will be imported and available in reader mode.
