Transcript Reader does for subtitles what Safari's default "reader mode" does for articles: create a comfortable reading experience. But its usefulness extends beyond enabling users to focus on video content: Transcript Reader invites video watchers to select, search, copy, Quick note, and read ahead in the transcript. Whether you're a student trying to focus on a lecture, whether you have ADHD and find websites distracting, whether you have a hearing impairment and rely heavily on transcripts, or whether you have some sort of vision impairment that makes reading "on video" subtitles challenging Transcript Reader is for you.

Linkeeper keeps the links you save — articles, videos, recipes, posts — in one tidy library where you can find them again. SAVE FROM ANY APP • Tap Share in Safari, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Threads or any other app and pick Linkeeper — or paste a link inside the app. • The title, preview image and creator are filled in for you, and each link is tagged by platform and hashtag automatically. READ LATER, YOUR WAY • A Read Later list for everything you haven't opened yet, with a daily reminder you can move or turn off. • Reader view with light, sepia and dark themes, adjustable text size and a serif font. • Listen: have an article read aloud. • Highlight passages, add a note to each, and find them all in one Highlights list. • Rediscover today: one link you saved and never read comes back each day. ORGANIZE • Collections, tags, favorites and archive — swipe to sort. • Search titles, notes, tags and the text of saved articles. • A Home Screen widget. BRING YOUR SAVES WITH YOU • Import from TikTok (liked videos), Instagram (saved posts and collections), a Pocket export and browser bookmark files. Files are read on your device, not uploaded. Preview first, duplicates are skipped, folders become tags — and you can undo. • Back up and restore your library as a JSON file. PRIVATE WHEN YOU NEED IT • A hidden vault for private links, locked with a passcode and Face ID. • Your library is stored on your device and works offline. An account is optional — it is only needed to sync between devices. LINKEEPER UNLIMITED Saving links is always unlimited, with tags, search, the reader and Rediscover included. Linkeeper Unlimited is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: unlimited imports, collections and hidden-vault links, plus sync across your devices. When you reach a free limit you can also choose to watch a short ad to unlock a little more. There are no other ads, and Unlimited has none.
