First impressions

Remember the last time you stumbled upon a fascinating article, only to lose it in the endless scroll of your social media feed? Matter is here to change that. It brings every type of content, including articles, newsletters, PDFs, and even Twitter threads, under one umbrella. At its core, the app shines with an excellent text parser that delivers exactly what readers want - clean, comfortable reading with customizable fonts and spacing.

What sets Matter apart is its brilliant fusion of reading and listening features. The text-to-speech functionality goes beyond basic audio playback by allowing users to create audio highlights with simple gestures. This thoughtful integration makes it possible to engage with content even while cooking or commuting.

What we love

• Clean Interface: Superior reading mode with distraction-free interface and highlight syncing

• Social Reading: The social features transform solitary reading into a shared journey - see what smart friends are reading, exchange highlights, and join thoughtful discussions. Imagine your favorite book club, but one that's always active and fits in your pocket

• Queue Control: Intelligent queue management with multiple sorting options and full-text search capability - so you don't get overwhelmed if you save too many articles

• Save (almost) Anything: Twitter thread saving that automatically compiles complete threads from a single tweet. You can also save YouTube videos!
