Dead simple to save from anywhere
Essential for video editors collecting scripts, enabling complete transcription of long videos. A time-limited mechanism prevents material accumulation, categorizes and groups by project, and Vault document export adapts to edited scripts.
MCP server is the secret weapon — Vault search in-app needs work
I highly appreciate its melting pot-style information filtering logic, which retains only truly useful knowledge. The reading mode is highly immersive, ad-free, and easy to use. Voice notes are convenient, and file export is flexible and easy.
Great daily driver — Vault organization needs work
Freelancers rely on vast amounts of information for inspiration; Burn caters to all needs. Voice-to-text frees your hands, AI cards quickly assess content value, and Vault export adapts to knowledge base building.
The Flame → Sparks → Vault flow is perfectly designed
Years of online information overload? This app helps me simplify. Enjoy ad-free reading, one-click saving of content from across the web, and a time-limited reading mechanism to encourage consistent reading and gradual accumulation of knowledge.
5 minutes of triage every morning saves me hours
The Burner design philosophy is incredibly sophisticated, retaining only high-quality content. It can estimate reading time, transcribe videos, and allow one-click saving to any app. Exporting Markdown from Vault is incredibly convenient for note-taking.
From bookmark graveyard to searchable knowledge base
What sold me on Pro wasn't the extra Spark slots ��� it was the MCP server. I can now query every article I've ever saved directly from Claude while writing or researching. It turns Burn from a read-later app into a proper knowledge layer that sits between me and my AI tools. The 24-hour burn mechanic keeps inflow manageable, and the Vault is becoming my curated, high-signal library of things I've actually processed. If I'm being picky: Vault search in-app could be more powerful, and I'd love custom tags. But the MCP integration more than compensates.

The MCP server turned Burn into my second brain
I subscribed to Pro for the extra Spark slots, but the killer feature I didn't expect is the MCP server integration. Being able to query my entire Vault directly from Claude while doing research is incredibly powerful. I'll be writing a report and Claude will surface articles I saved weeks ago that are perfectly relevant — stuff I would have forgotten about entirely. The 24h burn mechanic keeps my Flame zone from becoming a graveyard, and the AI summaries make triage fast. Wish there were more font options, but the MCP integration alone is worth Pro.

Clever approach but not for weekend readers like me
Burn is genuinely innovative and the team clearly has a strong vision. The design is beautiful, the MCP server idea is forward-thinking. But after three weeks, I've realized this doesn't fit my life. I save articles throughout the work week and do my reading on weekends. Losing content because I couldn't get to it within 24 hours feels more stressful than having a backlog. Three stars because I respect what they're building �� it just assumes daily engagement that not everyone has.

Great product — needs much better onboarding
Burn has a genuinely impressive concept and beautiful design. But my first experience was confusing: opened the app, saw Flame / Sparks / Vault / Ash, and had no idea what any of it meant. No tutorial, no guided first save. I almost deleted it. Once I understood the workflow, I started enjoying it. But first impressions matter, especially for such an unusual concept. The free tier is also very limited — you hit the paywall almost immediately. Three stars: great vision, needs to help new users understand it.
