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.
