Pocket Reader - This is a reading app that does not require account registration or login, offering an extremely simple and easy-to-use interface. Core Features: Save web content you plan to read later or valuable content you have already read and want to keep. Design Philosophy: Pocket Reader is designed with the best user experience in mind. We understand the burden that new account registrations impose on users, so unlike apps like Instapaper, Feedly, or Readwise, Pocket Reader does not require users to register a separate account. Users can continue using their Apple ID, leveraging the powerful capabilities of iCloud for cloud synchronization. This is what we believe to be the natural usage pattern for such an app. Key Features: - Save any URL: Simply enter the content URL. - iCloud Cloud Sync: Sync your saved articles across multiple devices. - Multi-device Support: Whether you use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, your data is synchronized across devices. We are continuously developing more features, including support for additional languages, categorization by tags, reading data analytics, and more, aiming to provide an even better product for our users.
Article to Kindle

Article to Kindle turns the web page you're reading into a clean EPUB and sends it to your Kindle — the way e-ink is meant to be read (EPUB reflows; PDFs don't). - One tap from Safari to your Kindle. - Clean reading: strips nav, ads and clutter, keeps the text and images. - Private by design: the article is converted on your device. Email delivery uses a relay YOU host, through YOUR mailbox — nothing goes to us. - Free and open-source (MIT). Build it yourself, or support development with an optional tip. Email delivery requires a one-time setup of a free personal relay (see the project page) and adding your sender address to Amazon's Approved Personal Document list.
