Links

Save articles and resources. Listen via Text-to-Speech. Build a long-term knowledge library — without algorithmic feeds or noise.

Overview

Save it. Listen to it. Actually engage with it.

Reading backlogs fail because they grow faster than you read. Habitus links addresses this with two tools: a curated list for everything worth keeping, and Text-to-Speech generation so you can listen to saved articles rather than only reading them.

Convert your reading list into audio. Listen while walking, exercising, commuting, or driving. Long-form content you saved but never got around to reading becomes accessible in the moments you have available.

Listen to what you've saved.

Habitus generates high-quality audio from your saved links. Instead of returning to a reading backlog that keeps growing, you can consume long-form content in the time you actually have — during a walk, a commute, a workout, or a drive.

  • Generate audio from any saved link
  • Listen on mobile while away from a screen
  • Turn passive saved content into active consumption
  • Consume long articles during walking, exercise, or commuting
Key concept

The shortlist.

The shortlist is a secondary layer within the links system. When you encounter a link in your main list that you're ready to commit to engaging with soon, move it to the shortlist.

The shortlist is meant to be short — ideally three to seven items at any given time. Its purpose is to make the transition from "saved" to "actually engaged with" more intentional. Whether you're going to read or listen, the shortlist tells you where to start.

Usage

Working with the links system.

Links — shortlist view
1

Save a link

Add a URL to your list. Habitus will attempt to fetch the page title automatically.

2

Generate audio

Use Text-to-Speech to generate an audio version of the article. Listen during your commute, walk, or workout — no screen required.

3

Curate and search

Review your list periodically. Remove what's no longer relevant, move committed items to the shortlist. Press Cmd/Ctrl + K to search by title or keyword.

4

Mark as read

When you've read or listened to a link, mark it as read. It moves out of your active list but remains in your history.

Tips

Getting the most from links.

  • Use Text-to-Speech for long articles you'd otherwise defer indefinitely. Mobile listening during movement makes long-form content finally accessible.
  • Save freely, curate deliberately. The goal is not to save only perfect links — it's to remove links that no longer deserve your attention when you review.
  • Keep the shortlist short. If everything is on the shortlist, nothing is. Aim for a number you could realistically clear in a week.
  • Use the search shortcut (Cmd/Ctrl + K) instead of scrolling when you know what you're looking for.
