Jolna

A read-later app that actually reads back, turning a backlog of open tabs into something you can get through on a commute.

01 · the problem

Read-later apps are where articles go to die. The saving is frictionless and the reading never happens, so the backlog grows until the app itself becomes a source of guilt.

02 · what i built

Jolna attacks the backlog from both ends. LLM-generated summaries let you triage what is actually worth your time, and text-to-speech turns the survivors into audio you can take on a commute or a walk. The organising layer sits underneath, so saved content stays navigable as the library grows.
