Save articles and read them when you have time
You often find an article at a moment when you cannot read it. Save it to Read later with one click or a key, come back to it when you have time, and continue from the paragraph where you stopped.

Your reading list
Read later is your reading list in Inoreader. When you come across an article you want to read properly, save it, and it waits under Saved in the sidebar, together with the pages you saved from the web and the articles a rule saved for you.
Save with a click or a key
Click the Read later icon on an article or in the toolbar of the open article, or press F, and the icon turns yellow. With Pro, a rule can save matching articles as they arrive, and the full content you load stays with them.
Pick up where you left off
Inoreader records where you stop in every saved article and, when you open it again, scrolls straight back to that paragraph. A ring in the article's toolbar shows how far you are, and in your list the article reads "Resume (27 min left)" until you reach the end. A short email can also remind you of what you saved.
Save pages from anywhere
Save the page you are reading with the browser extension, share it to the Inoreader app from your phone, or click Add in Read later, paste an address and preview the page before saving. Saved pages sit in the same list as the articles from your feeds.
Filter and sort your list
Read later opens as a Reading list grouped by the day you saved each article, with chips for what is in progress and what is finished, and for articles, videos and podcasts. The More menu switches to another layout, sorts by date, source, length or progress, and groups the list by feed.
An archive for what you finished
When you reach the end of an article, Inoreader offers to archive it, or does so by itself once you turn on Archive when finished. You can also click Archive on a row or press E at any time. The article leaves your list but stays under Saved, Archive, and Archive all in the More menu clears the whole list in one step.
Start your list
- Click the Read later icon on any article, or press F, to add it to Read later.
- To save a page from outside your feeds, use the browser extension, share the page to the Inoreader app on your phone, or open Read later, click Add and paste its address.
- Open Saved, then Read later, and click the In progress chip to see the articles you started. Open one, and it continues where you stopped.
- When you finish an article, click Archive on its row or press E. To bring it back, open Archive and click Restore to Read later on it.
Use cases
A reading list for the evening
During the day, press F on the long reads you have no time for, then open Read later in the evening. Each article opens where you stopped, so a long read can take several evenings. You can also set Read later as your start page, so your list is the first thing you see.
Collecting pages from beyond your feeds
Save the articles you find through search, social media or a colleague's link with the browser extension. They sit in the same list as the articles from your feeds, so you read everything in one place.
Keeping what you finished
Archive each article when you are done with it. Read later stays short, and the articles you valued stay in your account, where you can search for them later.
Two different archives
The Archive under Saved holds the articles you chose to keep. It is not the history of your feeds, which Inoreader keeps for every feed you follow whether you save anything or not.
Frequently asked questions
How do I save an article to read later?
Click the Read later icon on an article in the list or in the toolbar of the open article, or press F while the article is selected. The icon turns yellow and the article goes into Read later, which you find under Saved in the sidebar. With Pro, a rule can save matching articles for you as they arrive.
Can I save a page that is not in my feeds?
Yes. Save the page you are reading with the Inoreader browser extension, or share it to the Inoreader app from your phone. In Inoreader, you can also open Read later, click Add, paste the page's address and save it from the preview. Saved pages sit in Read later and are also listed under Saved, Web pages.
Does Inoreader remember where I stopped reading?
Yes, for every article in Read later or the Archive. While you read, a ring in the article's toolbar shows how far you are, and when you open the article again it scrolls straight to the paragraph where you stopped, with nothing to confirm. In your list the article reads "Resume (27 min left)" until you have read 95% of it, and "Finished" after that. Reading progress works in Inoreader on the web, on every plan, and you can turn it off in the More menu of Read later or in Preferences.
What is the difference between Read later and the Archive?
Read later holds the articles you still want to read. When you finish one, click Archive on its row or press E, and it leaves your list but stays in your account under Saved, Archive, with its reading progress. This Archive is your own collection of finished articles and is separate from the history of your feeds, which Inoreader keeps for every feed you follow.
Can I bring an article back from the Archive?
Yes. Open Archive, point at the article and click Restore to Read later, or select it and press E. It returns to the top of Read later with its reading progress, and Undo appears for a few seconds. To remove an article from the Archive for good, click the delete icon on it and confirm, or click Clear all in the Archive header to delete every archived article at once.
Can I search my saved articles and read them offline?
Yes. You can search Read later, the Archive and your saved web pages the same way you search a feed or a folder. With Pro, you can also make your saved articles available offline in the iOS and Android apps.
Is there a limit, and how long are saved articles kept?
Read later, the Archive and saved web pages are free on every plan, and there is no limit on how many articles you save. An article stays in Read later until you remove or archive it, and the Archive keeps it until you delete it.
