A reader built for reading.
Five themes, e-ink among them. Highlights remember the exact sentence, and any highlight can become a quote card.
iki for readers & writers
Read it later. Keep it for good.
The article comes in whole, not as a link. It reads cleanly, gets a one-line summary and stays yours as a file, even if the website, or we, disappear.

straight answers
What IKI won’t do for you.
It helps to know the limits before you start.
- Paywalled articles come in as far as your phone can read them. Deep Parse can try again. It sends only the link to our server, and only when you tap it.
- If Pocket deleted your list before you exported it, nobody can bring it back. If you kept the export, IKI reads it.
- IKI isn’t a feed reader, so there are no site subscriptions. Shelves are the closest thing, and they’re curated.
