Everything you save, in one place you'll actually open. You save things all day. A recipe from Instagram, a jacket from a shop you'll think about later, an article you meant to read, a video you sent yourself. Then it's gone, buried in a chat thread or a browser tab you closed weeks ago. View Later catches all of it and files it the moment you hit save. IT SORTS ITSELF Recipes, YouTube, Shopping, Articles, Screenshots, Instagram and TikTok each get their own list, filled automatically as you save. Anything that doesn't match lands in Unsorted. Turn off the lists you don't use. MAKE YOUR OWN LISTS A trip, a project, a gift list. Your lists start empty and fill however you like. Add tags, leave notes, and mark recipes as made it once you've cooked them. SET A REMINDER Tomorrow, next week, or a date and time you pick. A notification brings the save back when you asked for it, instead of leaving you to remember on your own. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Tap share in Safari, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok or your camera roll. Two taps and it's in. WORKS WITH SHORTCUTS Save a link, open a list, pull everything out of a list, or set a reminder, all as Shortcuts actions. Build them into your own automations, or run them from the share sheet. FIND IT AGAIN Search across titles, notes and tags. Tap a tag to see every save that carries it. A REAL IPAD APP The full library laid out for the screen you're on, not a stretched phone. ARCHIVE, DON'T DELETE Clear things out without losing them. TAKE IT WITH YOU Export your whole library or a single list as Markdown, straight into Notes, Files, Mail or wherever you keep things. Your saves are yours to move. BUY IT ONCE One payment and it's yours. No renewal, no tiers, no upgrade later. NO ACCOUNT Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log into. There is no View Later account and no server holding your saves. YOUR ICLOUD Saves sync privately through your own iCloud, across your iPhone and iPad. Turn iCloud off and everything stays on your device.
