Description
We get it. You don’t have time to read every single interesting article being shared online. That’s why, since 2019, Later (previously called Abyss) has been the perfect companion to your digital life. With Later, you can save any link from any app or website and read it whenever you’re ready.
Later is available on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It syncs your data via iCloud, which means that everything you do on one device is seamlessly reflected on all of them. Furthermore, your data is only available to you; there are no servers involved, so your data stays 100% private.
Later lets you organize all your important articles between your inbox (things you’ve pending to read) and your archive (things you’ve already read). You can flag links that are important, tag them for better categorization, and even save them offline to read on the go when you don’t have a network connection.
Later lets you bring your previous digital life from services like Pocket, Instapaper, GoodLinks and more. Simply navigate to Later’s settings and tap on “Import/Export”. You’ll be guided on how to bring all your data! Also, Later lets you export all your data in case you’d like to move to another service or keep a backup. By default, Later also saves a daily backup of all your links on your iCloud Drive.

Ratings and Reviews
Simple, effective, awesome
Just what I was looking for - simple, effective, clean solution to the problem of drowning in open tabs. Everything works as advertised. Also, great to have a read-later app that doesn’t record your personal data, like most others seem to. Looking forward to v2, and offline viewing.

Thanks for the kind review! Stay tuned for v2, it's going to be very good!
Updating my review
I'd previously given it a 1 star review because it kept nagging me for a review right at the point that I was trying to actually use it, however, this is an Apple issue, not a problem with this app and I was in a terrible mood at the time so I was being decidedly unfair.
So, for a real review of this app, on iOS it's a solid 5 star app, but the Mac version suffers a little from being a Catalyst app - it's very click driven which makes categorising and tagging your saved URLs quite a chore, and trying to use the app with a keyboard has some very surprising results - ie: pressing the down arrow, I expected would highlight each item in my list in turn, but what actually happens is it opens the second item in the list in my browser, it doesn't seem to be possible to navigate to and open any of the others. Even with all that though, this is still a solid 4 star app when paired with its iOS counterparts - its useful, lightweight, syncs over iCloud and doesn't require any third party services, so actually it's almost exactly what I wanted it to be.
Developer Response ,
Sorry about that, the bug is out of my control since I'm using Apple's built in way to request a review. I've reported such bug to Apple a long time ago, I'm waiting for a fix since I can't do anything about it.
Not an actual read later app
Interesting concept and I will keep an eye on this app, but for now I will continue to use my regular Read Later app.
This app is, to a certain degree, misleading as it is not a read later app. It is a bookmarks app. You store bookmarks, assign tags etc. but then you open an in-app browse and read the article on the actual website. An actual read later app retrieves the articles, stores them for offline usage and presents them in a distraction free environment. This app does not do that. Hopefully it will do this in the future.
