    Articles get a reading time. YouTube videos get their length — and long ones are cut into chapters or 5-minute parts.

  3. 03

    Choose how long you’ve got. My Minute Mix picks saves that fit, and you work through them one by one.

A mix is a short, finite playlist of your own saves. Open each item, finish it, tick it off. When the minutes are up, you’re done — properly done.

Each item opens on its own. No tab pile-up, no guessing what’s next.

Mark done, move on

One tap ticks it off and brings up the next pick in the mix.

Finished means finished

Done items leave your library for the Completed archive — out of sight, never lost.

Mixes for real life

Same library.
Different minutes.

Pick 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes — or type your own — and see what comes out. A few of the ways saves fit into an ordinary day.

FAQ

Good questions.

Short, true answers to the things people ask first.

What is My Minute Mix?

My Minute Mix is a read-it-later app that organizes everything you save — articles, YouTube videos, podcasts and threads — around the time you actually have. Tell it you have fifteen minutes and it builds a mix that fits, instead of handing you a list of two hundred things and letting you feel guilty about it.

Is there a good Pocket alternative now that Pocket has shut down?

Pocket closed to new saves in 2025 and the apps stopped working shortly after, which left a lot of people with an export file and nowhere to put it. My Minute Mix is built for the part Pocket never solved: not saving things, but getting through them. If you downloaded your export, you can import it — Instapaper, Raindrop and browser-bookmarks exports work too — and work through the old list one short session at a time, or start from scratch.

Read the full guide to moving off Pocket

What kinds of content can I save?

Articles, newsletters, YouTube videos, Spotify and Apple podcast episodes, Reddit threads and more. Articles we can read are timed from their text, and videos and episodes from the length they publish (or estimated, if they don’t); pages we can’t read are kept as bookmarks, without a length.

Can I listen to the articles I saved instead of reading them?

Not as spoken audio — there is no text to speech yet. What you can do is build a mix out of the things that already are audio: saved podcasts, Spotify tracks, and videos you only need to hear. A mix can mix formats, so if your hands or eyes are busy you can put together twenty minutes of listening and take it with you.

How to listen to the articles you saved

How is this different from bookmarks or a browser reading list?

Bookmarks are storage. They tell you what you saved and nothing about what to do next, so the list only ever gets longer. My Minute Mix knows roughly how long each saved item takes, which means it can answer a different question: given the minutes I have right now, what should I actually open?

Why your read-it-later list keeps growing

Does it remember where I stopped?

Yes. Mixes are saved to your account, so you can refresh the page, log out, or come back days later and pick up the same mix where you left off. Finished pieces stay finished.

Who founded My Minute Mix?

My Minute Mix was founded and created by Abhinav Thakur.

Is My Minute Mix free?
