Save Articles Forever: Full Text, Not Fragile Links

A bookmark is a promise the web rarely keeps. Pages move, paywalls drop, publications fold. WHT.day is a personal news archive that captures the complete text of every article, post and newsletter you save, so what you read stays readable for years.

Get started

$8/month or $68/year. Cancel anytime from Settings. Works on your phone: paste or share any link. Browser extension optional, for your desktop later.

Save articles before the links die

Studies of link rot reach the same conclusion: a large share of the web disappears within a few years. The article you bookmarked about a market move, a breaking story or a piece of research may not exist at that address in five years. If it sits behind a paywall, it may already be out of reach.

WHT.day saves the article itself, not just the address. One click on the browser extension captures headline, author, publication and the full text, filed under the day you saved it. The original link is kept for reference; your copy no longer depends on it.

A Pocket alternative built for permanence

Read-it-later apps treat saving as a queue: pile links up, read a few, let the rest expire into clutter. When Pocket shut down in 2025, those lists ended with it unless people exported them. An archive works differently. WHT.day treats every save as part of a permanent record. It is organised by day, searchable across years, and never deleted.

If you are looking for a Pocket alternative that keeps the full article rather than a link and a thumbnail, this is the difference that matters: your archive is yours, and it is complete.

Articles, X bookmarks, newsletters and screenshots, together

The record of a day rarely lives in one format. WHT.day saves news articles, X (Twitter) posts and threads, email newsletters, Substack essays, images and video clips, and keeps them with the day they belonged to. Highlight any text on a page, including inside Gmail, and save just the part that mattered.

Your news archive, by date

A news story is hard to find again in a folder, because the thing you remember is when it happened. WHT.day files every save on the day you saved it. Open a date and that day’s articles, newsletters and X posts are on one page: the reporting and the posts that were reacting to it, kept as text rather than as links.

You do not tag the day. The date is the organisation. Search still looks through every day when you remember a phrase and not the date. Each night the same saves are also written up as a digest, a front page of that day you can reread without reconstructing the tabs. X posts in that record are the ones you chose to save; how bookmarks on X itself fall short is the X bookmarks guide.

Search years of saved articles in seconds

“I know I read something about this” is where most bookmark folders fail. Because WHT.day stores full text, its search looks inside every article you ever saved, by headline, quote, source or story, and takes you back to the exact day, with the surrounding context intact.

Questions

Saving articles, answered

Is WHT.day a Pocket alternative?
Yes, with one important difference. Pocket and most read-it-later apps keep your list on their own service, so when Pocket shut down in 2025, users had to export their lists or lose them. WHT.day captures the full article text the moment you save it, so your archive does not depend on the original page staying online, and it belongs to you.
Does it save the full text of articles?
Yes. When you save a page with the browser extension or by pasting a URL, WHT.day extracts and stores the complete article text, along with the headline, publication, author, and any images. If the link later dies or moves behind a paywall, your saved copy remains readable.
Can I save my X (Twitter) bookmarks?
Yes. Save any post with the browser extension and WHT.day keeps the text, author, images and video alongside the articles you saved the same day, so a thread and the reporting it reacted to stay together.
What happens to articles when links die?
Nothing. That's the point. Pew Research Center found that 38% of web pages that existed in 2013 were gone a decade later. Because WHT.day stores the captured text itself, link rot cannot erase your archive. Every saved article stays searchable and readable, with the original link kept for reference.
Can I look back at what I saved on a given day?
Yes. Each save is filed on the day you saved it. Open that date and you see the articles and X posts from it together. Search still runs across every day, and the same saves are written into that night's digest.
How do I sign up?
Pick monthly ($8) or annual ($68), pay once at checkout, and your account is created. We email you a sign-in link. Cancel anytime from Settings.
