Cleanse / iPhone alpha / Mac app available todayShare with Cleanse.
Share with Cleanse.
Leave with the useful part.
Send any link into Cleanse - a Substack post, a YouTube video, a Reddit thread, a TikTok. Cleanse keeps the original link attached and writes a short, useful version you can actually read. Send it to a friend, keep it for later, or let it go.
02iPhone alpha / save to useful
Share once.
Leave with something useful.
Hit share on anything, pick Cleanse, and watch it work. You see the source come in, the title and author stick, the useful version get written, and a clean saved item appear in your library. No tabs to babysit, no copy-paste.

Opened on Mac
The same save, now with room to compare it against the library.
05Keep / copy / share
Read the useful version, then put it where it belongs.
Keep it in your library, or send it onward with the original link still attached. If Cleanse only got the title and a few details, the summary tells you that plainly instead of guessing. You always know what you are passing along.
How people read online
A clear reminder that people scan web pages before they decide what deserves a closer read.

A link-only save starts as a link-only save until there is more to know.
