Description
Flyleaf is a “read-later” app that displays saved articles from the web in a meticulously designed reading view, without popups, ads or other distractions.
SAVE ARTICLES FROM THE WEB
Use the share sheet from anywhere to save interesting links to Flyleaf. There is also an easy-to-use bookmarklet if you need it.
READ LATER WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS
Flyleaf takes web pages and removes everything inessential, like popups, ads and trackers, to preserve your privacy and sanity.
TURN WEBSITES INTO MAGAZINE ARTICLES
With Flyleaf's best-in-class book-like pagination, you can read articles page by page instead of scrolling vertically.
READ IT YOUR WAY
Flyleaf offers many ways to customize your reading experience, such as color themes and in-depth typography settings.
DISCOVER WHAT TO READ NEXT
Once your list of saved articles grows, it's easy to loose track. Flyleaf helps you to always discover fresh articles from your list.
SYNC WITH ICLOUD
Flyleaf uses iCloud to securely sync articles and reading progress between your devices – no additional signups needed.
STAY ORGANIZED WITH TAGS
You can add your own tags to articles to organize your library.
READ ANYWHERE YOU GO
Enjoy fully native apps for iPhone, iPad, and macOS, lovingly crafted by indie developer Max Melzer.
READ IN FULL SCREEN
Remove all distractions and focus on the text by entering fullscreen mode. You can still access all the controls you need through an intuitive gesture interface.
LOAD ARTICLES FROM ARCHIVE.TODAY IN ONE TAP
Sometimes, an article may not be available in your region or without logging in. Flyleaf lets you effortlessly access many of them from a web archive instead.
AUTOMATE ACTIONS WITH SHORTCUTS AND SIRI
Flyleaf offers a comprehensive list of Shortcuts actions, so you can add URLs via Siri or build Shortcuts to automatically tag articles.
Flyleaf is free to use and offers an optional subscription for advanced features such as themes, tags and the archive.today integration.

Ratings and Reviews
Wow, great app!
When I discovered this app, I was excited to try it, as a replacement for the discontinued Pocket app. I was very pleased when I started using it. It gets rid of all the clutter and ads from the original article, and presents only the article that I want to read. Swipe to turn pages. If you don’t finish reading the article, it keeps track of where you left off!
It’s at least as good as the Pocket app, but this one does more. This app is very well thought out, well designed, and implemented. A great time saver, and a real pleasure to use!
Simple and effective
So far I really like Flyleaf. It doesn’t make me login to any cloud services, or force me to look at discovering articles first (vs showing me saved articles), or have any AI features I don’t think I need. I loved the paginated articles. The operation is also smooth and quick. What really impressed me is the ability to sort various ways including oldest first and “farthest read” first, and shows the progress of each article.
Really great app for reading
Works really well, and the page-turning animation is smoother than any other app I’ve tried. I’ve also been pleasantly surprised by how well it handles oddly-formatted web
pages. I had one archived page that crashed another app, but Flyleaf handled it just fine.
