Pocket’s tagline used to be “Save For Later.” They changed it — maybe because they realized “later” never comes.
You have hundreds of articles saved. You’ll never read them. But you could listen to them.
The save button gives you a dopamine hit. “I’ll read this.” But the reading never happens because saving is easy and reading requires focused time you don’t have.
With audiclip, saving IS the action. There’s no “read later” guilt because there’s nothing to read.
Your Pocket backlog stops growing. Not because you read it — because you heard it.
Pocket has a “Listen” feature. It reads articles aloud in a single synthetic voice, one at a time, word-for-word.
audiclip is fundamentally different:
| Pocket Listen | audiclip | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Single voice, verbatim | Two hosts, conversational |
| Scope | One article at a time | All your daily saves, one podcast |
| Automation | Manual per article | Automatic daily |
| Distribution | In Pocket app only | RSS — any podcast app |
| Languages | English TTS | 100+ languages |
| Engagement | Monotonous after 3 min | Two voices hold attention 20+ min |
Before: Save → guilt → growing backlog → eventual mass-delete → guilt
After: Save → anticipation (“I’ll hear about this tomorrow”) → daily podcast → actually informed
The shift from guilt to anticipation is the whole product. You stop feeling bad about saving articles because saving IS consuming — just time-shifted to tomorrow morning.
347 unread articles? That’s 17 podcast episodes.
