KeepLink is an app that allows you to easily save and manage 'read later' or 'watch later' content directly from the 'share' option of other apps. โ–  Easily Manage Your 'Read Later' List Ever thought, 'I'll read this later when I have time,' and then forget about it? With KeepLink, you can easily save URLs directly from the share menu of other apps like Safari. โ–  Save with Notes Ever wondered, 'Why did I want to read this?' Wouldn't it be great if you could save the reason you were interested in the content, so you can enjoy it before the flame of curiosity dies out? With KeepLink, you can save notes along with URLs, so you never lose the context. โ–  Say Goodbye to Unrevisited Reads 'Things I read once and then forget about. I want to reread them, but I forget.' Great content is worth revisiting. With KeepLink, enable notifications and be reminded of the content you 'archived' at a specified time in the past. When notified of content you previously liked, it stirs your curiosity and wraps you in an indescribable sense of excitement. โ–  Take Notes While Reading Content Ever wished to take notes while reading content without switching between the content and a note-taking app? KeepLink's in-app browser is thoughtfully designed to ensure you enjoy the content to the fullest. For instance, if you want to take notes while reading an article, simply press the 'note' button in the browser to start noting. โ–  Absolutely No Ads & Basic Features Are Free Your curiosity will never be interrupted by irrelevant ads. โ–  Easily Switch to Other Apps Even if you come to dislike KeepLink, you can export all your saved data for free in CSV format. This allows you to easily switch to other apps like Google Sheets or Notion. Unlike other nefarious services that complicate the cancellation process to dissuade you from unsubscribing, we welcome all comers and chase none away, waiting for you with open arms.

About

Smartspeaker Plus

Features
Read full description

The Alex + is the next-generation AI-powered version of its voice assistant Alex. It was introduced in early 2025 as a major upgrade, powered by generative AI. Key Differences from the original Alex + are; Smarter & More Conversational: Handles complex, multi-step requests and natural back-and-forth conversations (e.g., ongoing discussions over days with context memory), rather than rigid, one-at-a-time commands. More Personalized: Learns your preferences, offers tailored recommendations (music, recipes, shopping), and proactively suggests routines or actions. More Capable (Agent-like): Can complete tasks on your behalf, such as planning events, drafting messages/emails, creating checklists, generating images, researching topics, managing calendars, shopping assistance (deal tracking, purchases), and deeper smart home control.
