Instapaper
Save all of the interesting articles, videos, cooking recipes, song lyrics, or whatever else you come across while browsing. With one click, Instapaper lets you to save, read, and manage the things you find on the Internet.

Feedly and Instapaper are like two galactic hitchhikers, each armed with their own towel, determined to guide you through the vast and endless streams of information. They both promise to save your favorite bits of the universe for later consumption, strip away the clutter of the cosmos and ensure you can read them anywhere—on your phone, tablet or computer. They’ve also mastered the art of playing nice with third-party life forms like Evernote and social media, making them dependable companions for the modern procrastinator.

Feedly, however, is the kind of friend who always seems to have the latest gossip. Born in 2008 in the United States, it thrives on gathering every shred of news in real time, tossing it into one tidy space and letting you sort it with the help of an AI assistant named Leo. It even extends an invitation to your work colleagues for collaborative intel gathering, should you be the type who likes a team to validate your reading habits. Feedly is a professional’s dream and a procrastinator’s nightmare—a hub of relentless updates.

Instapaper, on the other hand, prefers the slow lane of the information superhighway. Also hatched in 2008 in the U.S. (but now cozy in European hands), it whispers, “Take your time,” as it tucks away long-form articles and webpages for a rainy day. It delights in helping you annotate, listen to articles or simply bask in its minimalist, distraction-free design. It’s less about keeping up with the universe and more about finding the perfect corner to sit and ponder it. In short, it’s the app for those who enjoy reading about life as much as they enjoy living it.
