Amazing Little App to Save URLs
Adramalech
Lightweight and small and gets the job done. Love this app so far! I think the developer should charge a little more as I want to see this app continue to be around in the near future!
The perfect read later app

Beautifully minimal. Saves my content and displays it back to me in a normal safari view with all the options I would expect.
Very cool application!

I only wish it didn't require I use the stock mail app to contact the developer. To the developer: At the time I write this, duplicate objects don't seem to get picked up by the remove duplicate links option.
Brilliant App!

Sync is fast AF. Importing from Pocket is seamless. A solution that fills a need for a universal read later app and a place to archive or favorite URLs. The developer already responded (very quickly) to my request to add a bulk edit function. He said it's coming. 5-Stars, for sure!
Getting better, wishing for a few key features

I really like the idea behind Abyss. It's great for capturing links on mobile to review later on the Mac. One of my primary use cases is saving Tweets from Tweetbot that I don't have time to look at right then. Unfortunately Abyss just saves "Ars Technica on Twitter" and "arstechnica.com". There's no context. It would be so much more useful if Abyss "special cased" some URLs (like Twitter!) and pulled in the tweet as the "title" (while expanding t.co links at the same time). Github.com is another example, where Abyss just shows "ajusa/lit" and "github.com" in the list... it would be great if it was "smart" enough to pull in the project's tagline ("World's smallest responsive css framework") instead. I realize I could "tap through" from Tweetbot and then send the link to Abyss, but that loses the source context, and requires even more taps, which can be challenging when you're running on the treadmill... I'd also like a setting to show the the full URL (the list shows just the domain name) to provide additional context. I'm also frequently opening URLs unintentionally because a single-click immediately opens it. I'd prefer (a setting?) where a single-click just highlights the entry and a double-click opens it. It would also be nice to display the date/time (as an absolute, like "5/11/2020 10:20am" or "2 hours ago") on the right-hand side of each entry in the list. All in all, the idea behind this app is great, I love that it uses iCloud and isn't dependent on a "service", and with a few more improvements it will be a five-star app!
Great app

UPDATE: Love the new add a note feature! So cool! Happy to support development on this app. They fixed the one issue I had of not auto opening in reader mode. Happily using this over the competition. Love the app and being able to control my own data.
Great app, great developer

This is a no-nonsense read-later app! Does what I want it to do without unnecessary fluff, tracking, or invasions of privacy. Developer was very responsive about future updates and enhancements. Looking forward to seeing more from them! Update: still 5 stars! The developer continues to add requested features! Most recently, the ability to save offline. This elevates this app to the premier ‘read later’ app.
Does what I want, monetized properly as well.

No absurd subscriptions Premium features to pay for instead of annoying you with ads prior to purchase Does what I want it to do Thanks
Liking this already!

And hoping for that bulk edit feature, whereby I could save all for offline viewing, and leave Pocket behind. I love Llitgi on iOS and would love to see that added in some way, even if it were a separate app. I'd pay for it.
