Hey friends,
What a month! Just days after my last update, Pocket—the original read-it-later app—announced it’s shutting down. With Omnivore and UpNext gone, Instapaper back to indie status, and Matter trimming staff, the space feels shaky. But moments like this are why DoubleMemory exists.
Momentum in the spotlight
I jumped into Reddit threads to champion local-first tools. (Your data, your device, no servers required.)
My Show HN post hit the front page and stayed in the top 50 for three days—cue thousands of site visits, hundreds of new users, and $400 in revenue (up 8× from April’s $50).
Press & praise
TechCrunch, Lifehacker.ru, Bright.nl, and others listed DoubleMemory among the best Pocket alternatives—huge validation for our tiny community.
Community wins
Discord and Support email saw a stream of newcomers. Thanks to Kairos, Simon, Dorothy, and everyone else filing bugs and ideas.
Fixed: slow focus click, search dashboard not opening from Dock, and check out our dev logs.
Always up for a 30-min chat—email hi@doublememory.com.
New: Apple Shortcuts
Two to start—Add to Memory and Find in Memory—now available on iOS & macOS. My favorite hack: set a double-back-tap to grab whatever’s on your clipboard (perfect for apps without Share Sheet). How-to guide.
Looking ahead
WWDC’s new Foundational Model Framework means on-device AI—ideal for the auto-tagging we’ve promised since day one. And yes, we’ll embrace that gorgeous “liquid glass” look.
