How to Save Links on iPhone and Actually Find Them Later

Bookmarks and read-later lists grow faster than anyone reads them, and a bare URL is impossible to search. Here is how to save links so the content, not just the address, is findable.

By Ilian Raykov, founder of BrainTube

The short answer

  • Share a link from Safari or any app to BrainTube.
  • The page or video behind it is read and summarised.
  • Search by what it said, or ask Cue, instead of scrolling a list.

Step by step

1. Share the link

In Safari, YouTube or any app, tap Share and choose BrainTube. You can also paste a URL on brain-tube.com.

2. Let it read the page

BrainTube saves the content behind the link (article text or video transcript) with a summary.

3. Search by meaning

Look it up by what it was about: "the article on pricing pages" finds it even if you forgot the site.

4. Ask across your links

Ask Cue a question and get an answer drawn from your saved links, with each source linked.
