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.

#Pocket by the Numbers

• Average Pocket user: 200+ saved articles
• Articles actually read: fewer than 27% (Pocket’s own data)
• New saves per week: 5-10 for active users
• Net backlog growth: always positive. It only grows.

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.

#What if Saving Was Enough?

With audiclip, saving IS the action. There’s no “read later” guilt because there’s nothing to read.

1. Save to Pocket like you normally do (or save directly to audiclip)
2. audiclip picks up your recent saves
3. Overnight, two AI hosts turn them into a podcast
4. Morning, listen to everything you saved yesterday

Your Pocket backlog stops growing. Not because you read it — because you heard it.

#Pocket’s Listen Feature vs audiclip

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

#The Psychological Shift

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.
