Everything we've shipped

The story of Skiml so far. New releases land at the top. Follow @skimlio for the play-by-play.

  1. v1.3
    Dashboard

    Bring your old library with you

    Import everything you saved in Pocket, Instapaper, Raindrop or Readwise Reader, and export any brief as Markdown, PDF or JSON.

    • Import your saves from Pocket, Instapaper, Raindrop.io or Readwise Reader, tags included
    • Importing is free and unlimited on every plan, however big your old pile is
    • Imported saves arrive as links you can search and filter, so nothing is briefed until you ask
    • Ask for a brief on any imported save and Skiml reads the page for you
    • Download any brief as a PDF, formatted properly in all ten languages
    • Export any brief as structured JSON to feed into your own tools
  2. v1.2
    Extension

    The extension stays out of your way

    Sign in once and stay signed in, save X Articles and PDFs cleanly, and paste straight into the clip editor.

    • Stay signed in until you choose to log out, the same as the dashboard
    • Choose any Google account when you sign in, even if your browser is signed in to another
    • Long-form X Articles now save with their full text, not just the post
    • Uploaded and linked PDFs land in the PDFs source where they belong
    • Paste content straight into the clip editor to fill in or fix a save
  3. v1.1
    Languages

    Skiml now speaks your language

    The whole product is translated into nine languages. Read the site, the dashboard, and the extension in yours, and have your briefs written in it too.

    • Dutch, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese
    • Pick your language from the globe menu, even before you sign in
    • Your briefs are written in your language, whatever language the source is in
    • The Chrome extension is fully translated, with a matching language switcher
    • English stays the default; nothing changes unless you choose it
  4. v1.0
    Launch

    Skiml is live

    Private beta is over. Save any page, get a decision brief, and actually clear your reading pile instead of hoarding it.

    • One-click save from the Chrome toolbar or a keyboard shortcut
    • AI briefs with a summary, key insights, and clear action items
    • A daily or weekly digest that resurfaces what to read next
    • Triage mode: Act, Reference, or Archive with a single keystroke
    • Full-text search and tags across everything you have saved
  5. v0.9
    Sources

    Newsletters, read for you

    Forward any newsletter to your private Skiml address and it lands in your dashboard as a brief, just like a saved page.

    • A personal forwarding address for every account
    • Sender allow-list with a quarantine review queue
    • A dedicated Emails source in the sidebar
  6. v0.8
    Sources

    Podcasts and videos, summarized

    Skiml now turns podcast episodes and YouTube videos into the same skimmable briefs as articles.

    • Transcript-based briefs for podcast episodes
    • YouTube briefs with chapter-aware structure
    • New Podcasts and Videos sources in the dashboard
  7. v0.7
    Extension

    The Side Panel clipper

    A calmer way to save: preview and edit the Markdown before it is stored, and watch the brief render right beside the page.

    • Edit the title, properties, and body before saving
    • See brief progress and the finished brief in the panel
    • Jump straight to the full dashboard when you want more room
  8. v0.6
    Digest

    Your daily habit loop

    The piece that makes Skiml stick: saves come back to you, and clearing them takes seconds.

    • Email digest that resurfaces the right briefs at your local time
    • Full-screen triage queue with keyboard-first Act, Reference, Archive
    • Copy or download any brief as clean Markdown
  9. v0.5
    Dashboard

    Search, tags, and polish

    Everything you save became instantly findable, with a dashboard tuned for speed.

    • Full-text search across saves and briefs, with highlighted matches
    • Create, color, and filter by tags, with live counts
    • Press Cmd/Ctrl+K to jump to search from anywhere
  10. v0.4
    Briefs

    The first briefs

    Where it started: save a page, and read an AI brief of it moments later.

    • Structured briefs with summary, key insights, action items, and follow-ups
    • A dashboard that updates in real time as briefs finish
    • Regenerate any brief that misses the mark
