TapCueRead-it-later app for Android
One tap on Share. Filed where it belongs.
TapCue knows a YouTube link is something to watch and an Amazon link is something to buy. Share it, and it lands in the right note, list or inbox as one clear line, in Obsidian, Notion, email or your to-do app. No picking, unless you want to.
Use it on the webGet the Chrome extension
Share
From any app, tap Share, then TapCue.
The reason picks itself
YouTube means Watch later, Amazon means Buy this, a recipe site means Cook this. Tap a different reason only when you want one.
Find it where it belongs
Each reason has its own place: a note, a folder, a database, an inbox. Written as one line you can search.
A read-it-later app that writes into your notes
Most read-later apps keep your links in their own list. TapCue sends each one to the place you already work, and gives every reason its own place: recipes to your cookbook note, things to buy to your shopping list, articles to your reading note.
Obsidian
Writes into your vault folder: a line in one note, or a note of its own per save. No plugin needed.
Notion
A row in the database you pick, or a to-do on a page, with the title, link and reason.
Email
To any address, including note apps with a mail-in address.
Todoist and Raindrop.io
A task with the link and its reason as a label, or a bookmark in Raindrop.io.
GitHub, Slack and webhooks
Markdown or JSON files in a repository, a message in Slack or Discord, or your own JSON sent anywhere.
Google Keep and the rest
Apps without an API get your saves lined up, and one tap sends them over.
How saving to Obsidian from Android works
Your format, not ours: Markdown, JSON, XML, YAML, your webhook body
For every reason, choose the note, the folder, the heading and the file name, and write the template yourself: Markdown with front matter, JSON, XML, YAML, CSV, whatever your tools read, with the title, link, your note, the date and tags where you want them. The editor checks it as you type and shows the file a save would become. Webhooks take the exact JSON body you write. Then let an AI assistant read the same saves over MCP, or have it write the categories and templates for you: your phone becomes the input to a pipeline you designed.

Built for saving fast
Routed by where it came from
Video sites, shops, recipe sites, podcasts, maps and news each have a default reason. Add your own rules per site, so your bank's links go to Finance and your team's wiki goes to Work.
On your computer too
The TapCue extension for Chrome saves a page, link or selection in one click, from the toolbar, the right-click menu or a keyboard shortcut.
Offline, and no duplicates
Saves wait on your phone and go out when you're back online. TapCue tells you when you've already saved a link.
Several places at once
Send one save to your notes and your to-do list together (Pro).
Waiting and finished
Swipe a save to mark it watched, read or bought. Search everything you've saved.
A weekly digest
An email that brings back what you saved and haven't got to.
Works with your AI assistant
Save a page with the reason For AI, and your assistant picks it up. TapCue has an MCP connector for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any app that supports the Model Context Protocol, plus a REST API for your own scripts.
Read, summarise, sort
"What did I save for you this week? Summarise each one and mark it done."
Act on your saves
"Apply the SEO tips from the article I saved to my site." The assistant reads the link straight from TapCue.
Keys you control
Read-only or full access, limited to the reasons you choose. Change, rotate or revoke a key any time. Part of Pro.

Moving from Pocket?
Pocket closed in July 2025. If you kept your export file, TapCue imports it, along with Raindrop and browser bookmarks, and files new saves into your own notes from now on.

Questions
Is TapCue free?
Yes. Free covers Watch later and Read later, one destination, one device and 30 days of history. Pro adds every reason plus your own, unlimited destinations and devices, several destinations per save, rules per site, custom note templates, the API and the MCP connector, for $29 a year or $3 a month.
Does it work with Obsidian on Android?
Yes, without a plugin. Pick your vault folder as a destination and TapCue writes into it: a line in one note, or a note of its own for every save, from a template you control. Obsidian Sync or any folder sync carries it to your other devices.
Is TapCue a Pocket alternative?
For saving links, yes. TapCue files what you save into your own notes instead of a separate reading list, and it imports your Pocket export file, along with Raindrop and browser bookmarks. It is not a reading app: there is no reader view or highlighting.
Which apps can I save from?
Any Android app with a Share button: YouTube, Chrome, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, X, Samsung Internet and the rest. On a computer, save from Chrome with the TapCue extension, and search and manage everything you've saved at tapcue.app.
Where can TapCue send my saves?
Obsidian (vault folder or plugin), Notion, email to any address, Todoist, Raindrop.io, GitHub (Markdown, JSON, XML, YAML, CSV or HTML files), webhooks with a body you design in JSON, XML, YAML, CSV, HTML or plain text, or TapCue itself. Apps without an API, like Google Keep, get your saves lined up so one tap sends them over.
Which AI assistants work with it?
Any app that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, plus anything that can call a REST API. API keys are read-only or full access and can be limited to the reasons you choose. With a full key the assistant can also create and edit your categories and templates, and check a template before it is saved.
Can I choose the format saves are written in?
Yes. Each reason that writes a note of its own has a template you write: Markdown with YAML front matter, JSON (checked when the file name ends in .json), XML, YAML, CSV or any text, with placeholders for the title, link, note, category, tags and date. Webhooks send the exact JSON body you write. The editor checks the template as you type and previews the file a save would become.
Is it on iPhone?
Not yet. The Android app is available now on Google Play, and the iPhone app is coming.
What happens to my data?
TapCue keeps only what it needs to deliver your saves. No ads, no tracking, and your data is never sold. Logins for your destinations are stored encrypted. Delete your saves or your account at any time.
