I really missed Pocket, so I built my own read-it-later app for iOS

When Pocket shut down, I really missed having a simple place to save interesting articles and read them later. I tried looking for alternatives, but many felt too complicated, had features I didn’t need, or came with yet another subscription. So I decided to build my own. It’s called **Pendr**, a simple, clean read-it-later app for iPhone and iPad. The idea is simple: save something interesting now, read it when you have time, and don’t let your reading list become another endless collection of forgotten links. Here’s what makes Pendr a little different: Save articles and links from other apps. Read articles in a clean, distraction-free reader. Organize your saved content into folders. Articles stay in your list for 5 days, then disappear automatically unless you choose to keep them. Save your content using your own iCloud. No accounts, no ads, and no subscriptions. That 5-day feature is something I really wanted. Most read-it-later apps become digital graveyards full of articles you’ll probably never read. I wanted something that stays fresh and manageable. I’m an independent developer, and I strongly believe that simple apps shouldn’t require expensive monthly subscriptions. That’s why Pendr is available for a small one-time price, currently just €0.99 as an introductory offer. It’s not meant to be a massive productivity platform. Just a beautiful, simple app that does what it’s supposed to do. I’d genuinely love to hear what you think. https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/pendr/id681…
