how it works

Four steps. None of them are “organize your tags with AI.”

01
🔗
Paste a link
Any article, anywhere. Browser extension, share sheet, or just paste.
02
🍽
Your pet eats it
Each article becomes a meal. Longer reads = heartier meals = more xp.
03
📖
Read when you read
Clean reader mode, TTS, highlights. No ads, no newsletter popups, no cookie banners.

🐾
Your pet grows up
Levels, moods, streaks. A gentle reminder that you have things to read.
