Why Compendro
Saving is easy in any read-later app. Compendro adds the part that comes after.
Your saves come back to you
A short digest brings back a selection of what you saved, each with an AI summary. You choose when and how often it arrives.
Decide in seconds
Every save gets an AI summary, tags and a category, so you can tell what to read, watch or drop without opening it.
Videos and podcasts too
Compendro creates a transcript for videos and podcasts up to 2 hours long, then writes the summary from it.
Got ten minutes? Finish something
Quick Pick suggests saves that take about the time you have, one card at a time.
If you want a GoodLinks alternative, start with where you read. GoodLinks is a native Apple app. It syncs through iCloud with no extra account, keeps the full text of each article, supports highlights and notes, and can summarize an article with Apple Intelligence or your own AI provider. You buy it once, with a year of feature upgrades. Compendro runs on the web, iOS and Android. It adds an AI summary, tags and a category to your saves, sends a digest with a selection of them as often as you choose, and Quick Pick suggests saves for a ten-minute break. If you use only Apple devices and like to automate, GoodLinks is hard to beat.
