Read later, for real. Yosuga brings your saved links back on the day you pick. The articles, videos, and places you meant to get to come back that day, instead of disappearing into a read-later pile. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add from the share sheet Works with Safari and any other app. Tap Share, then Yosuga. The title and site name fill in automatically. You can also copy a link and paste it in the app. 2. Pick a day Today, tomorrow, the weekend, next week. It shows up in that day’s Up Next. You can also decide later. 3. One notification, on that day On days with something scheduled, you get one notification. It names the item, so you know what’s up without opening the app. Set the time in Settings. Nothing scheduled, no notification. 4. Mark it done Open it in the app, then tap Read. The button matches the type: Read, Watched, Visited, Bought, Made. There’s no confirmation dialog. Tapped by mistake? Just undo. EVERY DAY - Swipe for Read, Another day, or Not for me - Overdue items show a plain count, like “+2 days,” with no nagging - Arrange spreads undated saves over this week’s open days - See and search everything you’ve saved in Queue - A Home Screen widget shows today’s Up Next, with a done button on each item - Done items clear automatically after 30 days No folders, no tags. For everything on today’s list, there are three choices: finish it, move it to another day, or let it go. YOSUGA PRO Adding, dates, notifications, and the widget are free, with no limit on saves. Pro adds tools that help you actually finish what you save. - Reader: just the text, without ads or menus - Listen: hear it read aloud, with each sentence highlighted as it goes - Resume: pick up where you left off - Detailed notifications: separate times for weekdays, days off, and each type - Stats: 12 weeks of history, plus when you tend to actually get to things - Offline and backup: read without a connection, and export your data Pro is an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription.
