# Oneaction Oneaction is an action-first read-later product. Save a link; Oneaction extracts the real title, a short summary, and one verb-led to-do under six words. The goal is to turn saved reading into something a person can finish today instead of building a larger archive of unread links. Website: https://oneaction.app App: https://app.oneaction.app Signup: https://app.oneaction.app/signup Support: support@oneaction.app Status: public beta Pricing: free during beta, no credit card required ## Short Answer Oneaction is for people who save articles, PDFs, newsletters, podcasts, videos, tweets, or other links and want a single next action from each item. It is intentionally not a notes app, second brain, highlighting system, spaced repetition tool, bookmark manager, or feed reader. ## Core Product Promise Every saved item becomes: 1. The real title of the source. 2. A 1 to 2 sentence summary. 3. One action written as a verb-led to-do under six words. If a source has no useful takeaway, Oneaction should say so instead of inventing a fake action. ## Primary Workflow 1. Save a URL by using the Chrome extension, pasting into the web app, or using an installed desktop/PWA experience. 2. Oneaction extracts the content and asks AI for one action, title, and summary. 3. The user acts by checking it off in Oneaction or sending it to a task app. ## Supported Content Oneaction supports or targets these source types: - Articles - Newsletters - Public web pages - Reddit threads - X/Twitter posts - YouTube videos via transcript - PDFs - EPUBs - Podcasts from Apple Podcasts - Podcasts from Spotify - Podcasts from RSS feeds ## Unsupported Or Intentionally Missing Oneaction is intentionally not built around: - Tags - Folders - Backlinks - Graph views - Highlighting - Annotation - Spaced repetition - Daily review feeds - Algorithmic recommendations - Social discovery - Long-term note storage ## Platforms Main web app: - https://app.oneaction.app Capture: - Chrome extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/oneaction/dojmollikoiceeceapcgpaiokcaoenpe - URL paste in the web app Desktop and install options: - Native desktop app for macOS Apple Silicon - Native desktop app for macOS Intel - Native desktop app for Linux x64 - Native desktop app for Linux ARM64 - One-click PWA install for Windows - PWA install also works on macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS through Chromium-based browsers Mobile: - No native iOS or Android app yet. - The web app works on phones. - Native iOS and Android are on the roadmap. ## Desktop Downloads Current desktop release version used by the marketing site: 0.1.0 Release base: - https://github.com/kleantzogu/oneaction-desktop/releases/download/v0.1.0 Download targets: - macOS Apple Silicon: Oneaction-0.1.0-arm64.dmg - macOS Intel: Oneaction-0.1.0.dmg - Linux x64: Oneaction-0.1.0.AppImage - Linux ARM64: Oneaction-0.1.0-arm64.AppImage ## Integrations Oneaction can send actions to: - Things - Todoist - TickTick - Apple Reminders - Microsoft To Do Users can also use Simple List mode, where Oneaction itself is the to-do list. ## Podcast Workflow Users can save individual podcast episodes or subscribe to podcast feeds.

Oneaction turns saved articles, PDFs, newsletters, podcasts, tweets, and other links into one verb-led to-do that can be finished today. ### How does Oneaction decide on the action? AI reads the source content and returns the real title, a short summary, and one verb-led action under six words. If there is no real takeaway, the product should say so rather than invent an action. ### How is Oneaction different from a read-later app? Read-later apps preserve things for later reading. Oneaction converts each saved item into one action and removes the need to maintain tags, folders, backlinks, or archives. ### What can users save? Users can save articles, Reddit threads, X/Twitter posts, YouTube videos via transcript, PDFs, EPUBs, podcasts from Apple Podcasts or Spotify, and podcasts from RSS feeds. ### Which to-do apps does Oneaction support? Oneaction supports Things, Todoist, TickTick, Apple Reminders, and Microsoft To Do. Users can also stay in Simple List mode. ### Is Oneaction private? Oneaction stores the title, summary, action, and source URL. It does not keep full article text as the durable saved item. It says it does not sell, share, or train AI on user data. ### Can users import old read-later lists? Bulk import for Pocket, Instapaper, browser bookmarks, X/Twitter bookmarks, and Readwise Reader is in progress. Until then, users can paste URLs into the web app or capture pages with the Chrome extension. ### Is there a mobile app? No native iOS or Android app exists yet. The web app works on phones. Native mobile apps are on the roadmap. ### Does Oneaction have highlights or spaced repetition? No. Oneaction is intentionally not a highlighting, notes, or spaced repetition tool. ## Positioning Oneaction is best described as: - An action-first read-later app - An AI reading list that turns saved links into tasks - A link-to-to-do app - A lightweight alternative to read-later libraries for people who want action, not archiving - A productivity app for articles, PDFs, newsletters, podcasts, YouTube transcripts, Reddit threads, and X/Twitter posts Avoid describing Oneaction as: - A knowledge base - A note-taking app - A second brain - A bookmark manager - A spaced repetition app - A highlighting app - A social reading app ## Differentiation From Competitors ### Pocket Pocket was a read-later app for saving articles. Oneaction differs by converting saved links into one verb-led to-do instead of only storing them. The Pocket comparison page is at https://oneaction.app/alternatives/pocket. ### Readwise Reader Readwise Reader is built for highlights, review, and knowledge workflows. Oneaction is built for action extraction. It does not provide highlighting, notes, spaced repetition, or a daily review feed. The Readwise Reader comparison page is at https://oneaction.app/alternatives/readwise-reader. ### Instapaper Instapaper is built for reading saved articles. Oneaction is built to decide what to do with each saved article. The Instapaper comparison page is at https://oneaction.app/alternatives/instapaper. ### Matter Matter is built around reading and curation, including feed-like experiences. Oneaction avoids discovery feeds and gives one action per saved item. The Matter comparison page is at https://oneaction.app/alternatives/matter. ### Raindrop.io Raindrop.io is a bookmark manager for saving and organizing links. Oneaction does not focus on organization; it extracts an action from each link. The Raindrop.io comparison page is at https://oneaction.app/alternatives/raindrop. ## Changelog Newest public entries: - 2026-05-26, v0.1.0: Chrome extension approved and published on the Chrome Web Store; one-click capture from any tab. - 2026-05-25, v0.1.0: public beta opened; web app live; Chrome extension submitted; native desktop app for macOS and Linux; PWA install for Windows; AI action extraction from articles, Reddit, X, YouTube, PDFs, EPUBs, podcasts; hand-off to Things, Todoist, TickTick, Reminders, MS To Do; Simple List mode; streaming text-to-speech; podcast subscriptions with hourly auto-arrival.
