Skim any page. Get the brief that matters.

Your read-later pile,
finally cleared.

Skiml turns every article, video, and PDF you save into a 60-second action brief and a daily digest that actually gets read.

The problem

You've saved 0 articles this year.
You've read 0.

Every read-later tool sells you the saving. None of them help you finish. The pile grows. Guilt grows with it. Eventually you bankrupt the whole list and start a new one - until you do it again on the next tool.

Tools that helped you save. Not tools that helped you finish.

The reframe

Stop trying to read the pile. Start trying to resolve it.

To resolve a saved article you only need three things: is it still relevant, is it worth your time, and what's the takeaway if you don't read in full. Skiml answers all three in 60 seconds.

Is it still relevant?

You see when it was published, what's changed since, and whether the take still holds.

Is it worth your time?

You see original length, read time, and a confidence score before you commit to the click.

What's the takeaway?

You see a 60-second action brief - summary, insights, action items, follow-ups.

The product

Three things skiml does that no one else does.

Pillar 01 · Action briefs

Action Briefs, not summaries.

Summaries shrink the article. Action briefs tell you what to do about it. Three bullets. One verdict. One minute.

The Hidden Cost of Always-On Notifications

  • Constant pings shrink sustained attention by ~40% within an 8-hour day.
  • The fix is batching - check messages 3x a day, not 30x.
  • Most productivity apps make this worse, not better.
Verdict: Read it. The batching protocol on page 3 is genuinely actionable.
Pillar 02 · Triage mode

Clear the pile in minutes.

Swipe through your saves like a stack of cards. Skip, read, or save the takeaway. The pile shrinks. The guilt goes with it.

Pillar 03 · The daily skim

One digest. Once a day. Actually read.

A morning brief of what you saved, ranked. Five things, three minutes. The first read-later tool you'll open more than once.

How it works

From save to resolved in four steps.

01

Save

Click the skiml extension on any page.

02

Action Brief

Skiml drafts a 60-second action brief in the background.

03

Triage

Cards stack in your dashboard. Skip, read, or take the takeaway.

04

Resolve

The pile clears. The guilt clears with it.

Who it's for

Built for people whose tabs have tabs.

  • The reluctant saver

    You've got 400+ saved. You've read maybe 10. The guilt-pile lives in your head.

  • The researcher

    40 tabs open. Can't close any of them. Can't tell which ones matter.

  • The Pocket refugee

    Mozilla pulled the plug. You migrated to Reader. Or Raindrop. Or both. Still drowning.

If you saw yourself in any of these, you're early. Skip ahead

FAQ

Things people are asking.

Action briefs are generated in the cloud, so saved content does leave your browser. We store the saved item and its brief for your account, do not sell your data, and never read your saves for anything except generating your briefs. The specifics are in the privacy policy.

Ready?

Skiml is live and free on Chrome. Add it in one click, save your first page, and watch the brief appear.
