Read It Later even remembers your scroll position in every article so you can start reading on your computer, grab your phone and pick up exactly where you left off.

CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL ARTICLES

Read articles in Read It Later’s beautiful Article View. Content is distilled to show only the words, images, captions and videos from an article. This gives a clean, consistent reading experience no matter where the article came from. You can adjust the text size, font, alignment and more.

OFFLINE, READ WITHOUT INTERNET

AlertMap



AlertMap has been activated in response to the M 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that hit the East Coast of Japan on March 11, 2011.

AlertMap is a free real-time communication app that allows users to easily post geo-tagged reports, pictures, and video clips from the earthquake area, for everyone in the world to see.

It is helpful for those in affected areas of Japan to have access to real-time data, whether it is pictures of damage or unidentified people. By facilitating the direct flow of real-time information, it is our hope that AlertMap will help in the recovery effort, and provide a new and efficient means of communication when traditional channels are stressed or lacking.
