The short description
Nook is a place to put links you intend to come back to, built on the assumption that you will forget why you saved them. Each save is enriched in the background with a summary, an estimated reading time and tags, and the shelf ranks related links from your own library so old saves reappear without being searched for.
Common questions
- What is Nook?
- Nook is a link-saving app that summarises what you save. Every link you add gets an AI summary, an estimated reading time and tags, so your reading list stays readable as it grows. It also surfaces related links from your own shelf.
- How much does Nook cost?
- Nook is free while it is in beta. Every feature is unlocked with no card required. The published plans are Free at €0 and Pro at €4 per month, or €36 a year, and they start charging only after beta ends.
- Which apps can I import from?
- Nook imports Pocket CSV exports, Raindrop CSV exports, Instapaper CSV exports, browser bookmark HTML files, and plain lists of URLs. Raindrop, Instapaper and browser bookmark imports can rebuild your folders as Nook collections; Pocket CSV carries no folder data, so those links land in your shelf untagged.
- Is there a browser extension?
- Yes. Nook, Save to shelf is available on the Chrome Web Store and saves the current tab in one click. Firefox and Safari extensions are not built yet.
- Is there a mobile app?
- Nook installs as a PWA on Android and iOS, with a bottom navigation bar, swipe actions and pull to refresh. On Android it also registers as a share target, so you can save from any app's share sheet. There are no App Store or Play Store listings yet.
- How does the AI summary work?
- After you save a link, Nook fetches the page in the background, extracts the readable article text, and generates a short summary along with an estimated reading time and suggested tags. Enrichment is asynchronous, so the link appears on your shelf immediately and the summary fills in shortly after.
- What are related picks?
- Related picks are links from your own library that connect to the one you are looking at. Nook computes an embedding for each saved link and then ranks candidates with a language model, so the suggestions come from what you have saved rather than from the open web.
- Can I organise links into folders?
- Yes. Nook has collections, which can be nested, plus shelf views for Unread, Favourites and Archive, automatic tags and full-text search over titles, summaries and notes.
- What does Nook do with my data?
- Saved page content is sent to AI providers for summarising and embedding, which is what makes summaries and related picks work. Nook does not sell data and does not run third-party advertising trackers. The privacy policy has the specifics.
- Can I export my links?
- Yes. Profile has an Import and export section that downloads your whole shelf as JSON, CSV, Markdown, a plain URL list or Netscape bookmark HTML. The JSON and CSV exports carry titles, tags, summaries and save dates. There is no public API yet.
- Does Nook read articles offline?
- No. The interface works offline because Nook installs as a PWA, but article content is not cached for offline reading.
- Is Nook open source?
- No. Nook is a closed-source product built by its two founders, Keerat Singh Khurana and Harsh Yadav.
