Omnivore was widely considered the best read-later app for most people, thanks to its modern features and generous free tier. However, the recent announcement about its shutdown and acquisition by ElevenLabs has left many users searching for alternatives. With all user data scheduled for deletion by November 30th, it's crucial to find a new home for your carefully curated knowledge library.

Why Omnivore Users Need a Reliable Alternative

The shutdown of Omnivore highlights a critical challenge in the read-later app space: building a sustainable service that can support a dedicated user base while maintaining quality features. While Omnivore's open-source nature was appealing, the reality is that running a reliable service requires significant resources for development, server costs, and mobile app maintenance.
