Burn451 is a reading tool that helps you save links, read them later, and decide within about 24 hours whether to keep or let go. Too many saved pages never get opened. Burn451 gives each new save a short window: open it in a clean reader, then keep it or release it. What you choose to keep can move into Spark and then Vault, so your library stays intentional. What you can do: • Save links from Safari or any app with the Share Extension. • Read in a clean, focused reader without ads or clutter. • Find pages again with full-text search. • Organize saved pages with tags. • Keep a Spark and Vault workflow for what is worth keeping. Optional AI-assisted features can help you review what you saved. They are not included for every account, and this listing does not promise free AI for all users. You decide what stays. Unread items can expire. Burn451 does not permanently delete every link after 24 hours. If a page cannot be extracted, that save is held and does not burn. You can retry extraction or paste the text. Listen with system text-to-speech in the reader. Export from Vault, including Markdown and a direct Obsidian folder export, is available and is not sold as a Pro-only feature. Full-text search is available to every account. Privacy first. Your reading stays yours. No ads. No selling your data.

About

Årshjul

Read full description

Plan a whole year, then explain it in ten seconds. Årshjul lays the twelve months out as a wheel, so the shape of the year is visible before anyone has read a word: the quarter that is overloaded, the empty stretch in July, the two campaigns landing in the same week. Built for consultants, project managers, marketing and communications leads, school and nonprofit teams, and anyone who has to walk a room through next year on an iPad and then look it up on an iPhone afterward. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Create tracks for projects, teams, or areas of responsibility, and place activities across the year • Switch between the wheel and a chronological list: the same plan, read two ways • Present straight from the iPad in the meeting, with no sign-in and no browser tab • Hand the plan over as a PDF or PNG for the board packet, the staff handbook, or the wall IMPORT AND EXPORT • Open versioned Årshjul files and JSON • Import and export CSV and iCalendar • Export to PDF and PNG • Warnings appear before an import changes your plan. Nothing is altered silently. FOURTEEN DAYS OF FULL ACCESS Everything is open from the first launch. No account, and no payment request before you have tried it. After fourteen days, creating and editing require a subscription. Reading and exporting your own wheels keeps working either way, so you never lose access to work you have already done. One subscription covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. INSTEAD OF A BROWSER TOOL OR A TEMPLATE A browser-based year wheel wants an organization account and a login — in the meeting, from every colleague, every time. A PowerPoint or Miro template looks right once and then has to be redrawn by hand every time a date moves. Årshjul is a real app on all three Apple platforms: it opens immediately, needs no account, keeps the plan on your own device, and lets the same plan leave as CSV or iCalendar when someone else needs the dates. LOCAL FIRST No account. No tracking. Your plans stay on your device unless you choose to share them or save an export yourself. ACCESSIBILITY Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and WCAG 2.2 AA. The plan can be read and understood without relying on color. LANGUAGES English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, and Dutch.
