What is Mailist?

Mailist is a bookmarking webapp and Chrome/Firefox/Safari extension that allows you to save articles for later AND also sends you a weekly email with randomly selected unread articles from your list. You can choose how many links are delivered in a single email in your account settings.

‍

Why is it different from others?

There are a lot of bookmarking tools from the native browser bookmarker to fully formed standalone ones like Pocket and Evernote. But Mailist adds a clever–and really important–piece that's missing in all the other ones: a follow-up mechanism that closes the loop. In this case, it generates a weekly email that takes N random unread articles from your list and reminds you to get to them. Once you do, you cross off the link from your list! That Simple :)

‍

How can I add links?

You can simply add new links manually by entering the urls or using our Chrome extension, Safari Extension or Firefox Add-on. You can also use Bookmarklets feature to add your links in Safari desktop or iPhone.

‍

Can I import my browser bookmarks?

Sure, just head over to import feature and import any set of exported bookmarks from Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc. Once the file is uploaded you can freely choose which bookmarks you would like to import and save on your list.

‍

Can I import Pocket bookmarks?

Yes! Just head over to Pocket import feature and import the exported file. If there are tags assigned to Pocket, tags will be imported as well!

‍

What time the email is delivered?

It's delivered at 13:00 UTC on a day of your choice. Pick the day in your account settings.

How to use Mailist on iPhone?

Best way to use Mailist on iOS devices in Safari is Bookmarklets feature. Simply add the button from Mailist to your bookmarks and use it anytime you want to save website to your Mailist.

Alternatively you can save mailist.app website as a shortcut on your Home screen. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open Safari. Other browsers, such as Chrome, won’t work for this.
2. Navigate to https://my.mailist.app
3. Tap the Share button at the bottom of the page.
4. On the bottom row of icons, scroll over until you see Add to Home Screen and tap this.
5. On the next screen, choose a name for the link on your home screen (Just name it "Mailist"). You’ll see the link so you can confirm it, as well as the site’s favicon that becomes its “app” icon.
6. Now just tap the new app on your home screen, and it will open the website in its own navigation window, independent of Safari.

That's it!
