Store listing

Full description

You save articles with good intentions. Then life happens, the list grows, and the good ones get buried with the rest. Winnow is for the ideas inside those articles, so they come back to you instead of waiting for you to come back to them. HOW IT WORKS Save an article. Use the Android share menu, paste a link, or send it from the Winnow browser extension. Winnow distills it. It pulls out the parts worth keeping and sets the rest aside. What you get is a small set of idea cards, not another thing to read. The ideas come back to you. Over the following days and weeks, Winnow delivers them through notifications while you're walking, commuting, or getting on with your life. There's nothing to open and nothing to remember to check. Your library connects itself. When you do open an idea, Winnow surfaces others you've saved that relate to it. Over time your reading turns into a network instead of a list. WHAT WINNOW IS NOT It doesn't recommend articles or pull in anything on its own. Nothing enters Winnow unless you put it there. It isn't a reading queue you'll feel bad about. Even if you never open the app again, the ideas still reach you. WHAT IT KEEPS Winnow stores the links you save, the text it extracts from them, and the idea cards it makes. That's it. There is no advertising and no tracking. You can delete your account and everything in it from Settings at any time. Winnow is a small tool for people who want what they read to stay with them. Save something, and let it come back when it's useful.

What's new

Winnow now tells you when it couldn't read a page you saved, instead of showing an empty article. Plus behind-the-scenes improvements so future fixes reach you faster.
