Welcome to the WIRED Brief. “It’s not easy keeping up with everything that’s written on the web,” our editors remind us—especially when you’ve got a dozen tabs open. That’s where read-it-later apps step in, turning digital chaos into a manageable library.

First up, Pocket offers one-click saving, offline reading, and a clean, distraction-free layout. It’s perfect for stashing articles, videos, and even tweets, then tagging them for easy retrieval.

Next, Instapaper shines with customizable fonts, highlighting tools, and a focus mode that strips away ads. As WIRED notes, its “speed reading” feature helps you power through long reads in record time.

For those craving visual flair, Raindrop.io organizes bookmarks with colorful icons and nested collections—ideal for curating research or personal projects. It even syncs across browsers and devices.

Finally, Wallabag stands out for folks who value open source. Host it yourself or use the managed service to keep full control of your saved content.

Whether you’re a casual browser or a deep diver, these apps ensure your must-reads are always just a click away.
