Here’s a daily reading routine I established for myself lately. It was also what got us to start working on Itemsy in the first place. We wanted to:

stop using multiple reading lists, notes, keep tens of tabs open

always be able to go back to or find new interesting reads

when time is right, receive my personal email newsletter

One-click save

You come across an interesting article, website or video. Simply save it for later using Itemsy Chrome or Firefox extension. Add a note to remember why you’re saving it.

Alternatively, add it to your Saved items at itemsy.com or email the link to my@itemsy.com.

Items saved from browser extension appear in Saved

Scroll through Picked for you

Feel like discovering something interesting to read? Go back to itemsy.com and check out items Picked for you.

We developed an algorithm that looks at content you like, click on, share or save and suggests what else you might find interesting.

What’s picked for you is based purely on your interests, not on how much advertisers bid on a particular link or how “clickable” it is. Suggestions get better tailored to your taste the more you use Itemsy. Needless to say, no two user’s Picked for you will be anything alike!

Note how items picked for me touch on subjects such as consciousness or evolution which relate to the articles I’d saved before

Personal newsletter — just for you

Don’t worry about remembering to actually go through the items you’d saved. They will be delivered to your inbox as an email newsletter. You can set it to fit your schedule, for example at 5pm on weekdays.
