OmnivoreShut down (2024)

Heads up: Omnivore shut down its hosted service in November 2024 after joining ElevenLabs. This page helps former Omnivore users decide whether My Minute Mix fits their workflow.

The short version

Two tools, two different bets.

Omnivore was the favorite free, open-source read-it-later app for thousands of developers and researchers until its hosted service closed in late 2024. If you miss Omnivore’s no-paywall honesty and clean design — and want a queue that actually helps you finish what you save — My Minute Mix is built in the same spirit.

TL;DR

Omnivore

Omnivore was a classic full-text reader with labels, newsletters, and Logseq/Obsidian plugins.

TL;DR

My Minute Mix

My Minute Mix focuses on the moment you sit down to read: sizing your saved articles and videos into 5-, 15-, 30-, or 60-minute mixes so your new library doesn’t turn into another unread archive.

Which to choose

Pick Omnivore or pick us. Here’s when.

Where they’re better

Choose Omnivore if…

Self-hosted, open-source heritage. If you want to run your own Docker containers and database for full-text parsing and Obsidian sync, self-hosting or Karakeep/Wallabag remains closer to classic Omnivore.

Where we’re different

Choose My Minute Mix if…

Live, hosted and free today. Sign up in 10 seconds with no card, no self-hosting maintenance, and no setup.
Time-first session builder. Solves the reason so many reading inboxes pile up unread: we match your saves to the minutes you have free.
Link health guard. Periodically checks saved links in the background and flags dead 404/410 pages so they are left out of future mixes.
