File everything forever. Then clear the pile.

The Vault locks any post or thread for good — full text, media, Community Notes, cryptographically signed and Bitcoin-anchored, yours even if the original disappears. Then Bulk Cleanup clears your bookmarks tab on X in one tap, with a full day to undo. The pile becomes a library.

The Vault — verified snapshots kept forever

Verified Snapshots

Proof you can hand to anyone. Even people who don’t trust you.

One tap freezes a post — full thread, media, Community Notes — signs it with Backread’s published key, and commits its fingerprint to the Bitcoin blockchain. What you get is a public page anyone can verify independently, forever: this capture existed by this date, exactly as recorded, and no one — including us — could have altered it since.

A real one, from July 10

It proves the capture is real, unaltered and datable — the honest claim, and the one that matters when a post gets edited, deleted, or disputed. Read the full chain of custody →

Your whole X archive, alive.

Every bookmark you’ve ever made, filed into your own niches. Summarised, searchable, streaming. This is the real app, and it’s playable.

The Backread wall — every save organised into your niches

Second Brain · Backread Ultra

It doesn’t just file your saves. It understands them.

Backread reads every save and distils what’s inside — the people, ideas and claims — into concepts that cite their sources, then links them into a living map of how you think. Save about something twice a year apart and your brain already knows they’re connected.

The Second Brain — a living concept graph built from real saves, with the self-heal tray below
A real one, built July 15
5,982concepts distilled from 1,770 saves — each one citing the posts it came from 60,500links between them — 96% of the graph connected, no folders required Weeklyit tends itself: merges duplicates, flags where your sources disagree, reconnects loose ideas — you approve every fix

The map and the self-tending brain arrive with Backread Ultra. The concept trails under every save are already live for members.

Open to what matters.

The Brief triages your saves while you sleep. What’s new, what moved, what deserves action first. First open of the day lands here; the rest of the day, your library.

The Daily Brief

Every save arrives already understood.

Summaries, tags, full threads, quote context, playable media. And semantic search that finds the post you half-remember from months ago.

Reading view with summaries and context

The freshest posts from your people.

Following streams new and updating posts from the accounts and topics that define your feed. Per-niche tickers, always moving. Algorithm-free calm.

Following — live per-niche tickers

Agent Bunny

Ask. Find. Organise. In plain English.

The bunny knows what screen you’re on and proposes the highest-value next move, with your real numbers. "Sort my Miscellaneous saves." "What connects my starred posts?" It shows the plan before it moves a thing.

Backread Agent — context-aware suggestions

Built for the keyboard

⌘K from anywhere on your Mac.

One keystroke opens your whole archive: search it, ask it a question, jump straight to the answer. J and K walk the wall. G then B lands on your Brief. Every panel answers the keys, the way a Mac app should.

⌘K — search and ask your archive from anywhere

Every like you ever gave, remembered.

Bookmarks are what you meant to keep. Likes are what actually caught your eye. Connect them once and Backread files your entire likes history into the same intelligence — your niches, your search, every answer the agent gives — quietly kept in its own room so the library you built by hand stays deliberate. Your taste graph doubles overnight.

The Likes view — everything you ever liked, filed into your niches

Your taste, measured.

Insights maps what you actually care about: your niches over time, the voices you trust, the gems you saved and forgot, resurfaced before they rot.

Insights — your saved universe, measured

Collections worth passing on.

Make any category public. A real page anyone can read, follow, or clone into their own Backread in one tap. Curation becomes a calling card.

Shared categories — public collections
The Constellation — your archive mapped in meaning-space

Your saved universe, mapped by meaning.

Every save embedded and clustered into a living constellation. Fly through what you know.

Backread Ultra

The Observatory. Your archive, under instruments.

A full-screen analytics room above the library. Lenses over everything you keep: the Constellation, a Drift Compass tracking where your attention is moving, the Prophet Score for posts you saved before they took off, and an Account Telescope you can point at any public X account.

The Observatory — Backread Ultra's analytics room

Native on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Share to Backread from any app — the share sheet is wired in on iPhone and Mac. Save any link into the same intelligent library: YouTube with full transcripts, articles, anything. A home-screen widget resurfaces gems from your archive. Light and dark, equally at home. And your archive moves cleanly in both directions: import from Pocket, Instapaper, Readwise or Omnivore with original save dates intact; export to Markdown, CSV, JSON, or a complete Obsidian vault.
