Every read-later app has the same problem: later never comes.

• Pocket: 73% of saved articles are never read
• Instapaper: unread lists grow 5-10 items per week
• Browser bookmarks: the graveyard of good intentions
• Email “read later” folders: digital guilt, organized

The problem isn’t the app. It’s the promise. “Read later” requires a future block of focused reading time that never materializes.

#Reframe the Promise

What if saving an article didn’t mean “I’ll read this” but “I’ll hear about this tomorrow”?

audiclip changes the promise:

• Old: Save → someday I’ll read this → never read → guilt
• New: Save → tomorrow’s podcast will cover this → actually informed → no guilt

The action (saving) stays the same. The outcome (listening vs. reading) changes everything.

#Why “Listen Tomorrow” Works

1. It’s scheduled — “tomorrow morning” is a specific time. “Later” is never.
2. It’s passive — listening requires zero effort. Reading requires focus.
3. It fits existing time — commutes, walks, cooking are listening-compatible. They’re not reading-compatible.
4. It’s batched — one podcast covering 5 articles is more satisfying than opening 5 separate links.
5. It compounds — daily listening builds knowledge. Daily guilt builds… more guilt.

#How It Works

1. Save articles throughout the day to audiclip
2. Overnight, two AI hosts prepare a podcast covering your saves
3. Morning, listen to a 15-30 minute briefing in any podcast app

Two hosts discuss each article conversationally. One presents the key ideas. The other asks the questions you’d ask — “Wait, why does this matter?” “How does this connect to the thing from last week?”

#The Numbers

Assume you save 5 articles per day and listen to a 20-minute podcast each morning:

• Per week: 35 articles covered, 140 minutes of listening
• Per month: 150 articles covered, 600 minutes of listening
• Per year: 1,825 articles absorbed — more than most people read in a decade

All during time you’d otherwise spend staring at traffic or waiting for the subway.

#Cross-Language

Save articles in any of 100+ languages. Listen in yours. “Read later” never worked across languages anyway — you weren’t going to read that German engineering post in German. But you’d listen to it discussed in English.
