Omnivore was an open-source read-later app with a devoted following. In November 2024, the team announced they were shutting down the hosted service to join a new company. Users were left scrambling to find an alternative and export their saved articles.
"We've decided to join a new company and as a result, Omnivore will be shutting down... Thank you for all your support over the years."
