How big is the pile,
really?

Drop a Pocket, Instapaper or Raindrop export, or your browser’s bookmarks.html. Get the link count, the duplicates, the oldest save and a rough time to clear it.

How we count

A rough number, on purpose.

An export file lists links. It doesn’t say how long each page is — so this is an estimate, and we say so.

  1. 01

    Find every link

    We read <a href> tags from bookmarks.html files. For CSVs we use the url or link column, or the first web link on each line of a plain list. Items Pocket or Instapaper mark as archived are already read, so they’re skipped.

  2. 02

    Spot exact duplicates

    A link that appears twice, character for character, counts as a duplicate. The oldest save comes from the add_date, time_added or date column when there is one.

  3. 03

    Seven minutes a link

    Total time is links × 7 minutes. Divide by 15 and round up, and you get the number of daily 15-minute mixes to finish.

Why seven? It’s a middle-of-the-road guess for a mix of short posts, long reads and videos. Your real pile could be shorter or much longer.
In My Minute Mix

No more guessing
at seven minutes.

Import the same file into My Minute Mix and each link gets measured — a reading time for articles, the real runtime for videos — so the estimate turns into a real number. Then ask for a mix that fits the minutes you have — no folders, no sorting.

  • Import your Pocket, Instapaper, Raindrop or browser-bookmarks export — up to 2,000 links at a time
  • Items you’d already read and links already in your library are skipped
  • Long YouTube videos split into creator chapters or 5-minute parts, with resume
  • Free, no paid tier. No AI on your saves
