Matter

Matter is a modern read-later application designed to be the ultimate reading client for the open web. Built by a small team of passionate readers, this app has earned three Apple 'App of the Day' honors for its exceptional design and functionality.

The app serves as a central hub where you can save articles, newsletters, Twitter threads, PDFs, YouTube videos, and podcast episodes. What makes Matter special is its advanced parsing technology that ensures clean, distraction-free reading, and its ability to transcribe audio and video content into searchable text.

Matter combines three essential reading functions: read-later functionality for content you want to save, subscription management for newsletters and RSS feeds, and content discovery through curated recommendations. The app focuses on helping active readers consume content more effectively rather than just collecting links. With features like unlimited tagging, full-text search, and customizable themes, Matter creates a personalized reading experience that adapts to your preferences and habits.

Getting started with Matter is simple and user-friendly. First, visit hq.getmatter.com or download the mobile app from the App Store. You can start using the basic features immediately without creating an account, though signing up unlocks synchronization across devices.

To save content, install the browser extension for Chrome or Safari, which allows you to save articles with a single click. The mobile app also includes a share extension, making it easy to save content from any app on your phone. Simply tap the share button and select 'Save to Matter.'

Here's how to make the most of Matter:
