You saved articles for years. Not because you'd read every one — but because saving was a promise to a future self who would care.
The fear underneath the shutdown isn't losing articles. It's trusting something again and watching it close. Mozilla did that. Omnivore did it before that.
Folded is built differently: small, independent, no venture capital. We charge $4/month because we need $4/month to stay alive. You're the customer, not the product.
We will not shut down. That's not a tagline. It's a structural commitment: no investors to pivot for, no acquisition pipeline, no ad-funded model that requires scale. Just sustainable, honest software.
The most affordable full-featured read-later app on the market.
