Laytr App Lets You Save Anything Online

Laytr, a new app by indie developer Mostafa Talaat under his company Waitery Inc., offers a read-it-later service that extends to saving any web content, including articles, recipes, screenshots, videos, PDFs, bookmarks, and tabs. The app automatically sorts content types and allows organization into collections called 'cases,' with reminders for saved items. Privacy is a core feature: everything is stored locally and synced via iCloud, requiring no account, and the developer cannot access user data. Laytr imports Pocket exports, easing migration after Pocket's shutdown. The app is free for up to 30 saved items, with Premium pricing at $1.99/month, $14.99/year, or $39.99 lifetime (introductory $24.99). Users can export their entire archive as a ZIP file at any time. Laytr avoids AI features and personalization to maintain privacy.

• Laytr is a new app by Waitery Inc. that lets users save any web content, not just articles.
• The app is privacy-focused: no account required, data stored locally and synced via iCloud.
• It imports Pocket exports to ease migration after Pocket's shutdown.

Shopify launches Canvas AI site builder

Shopify has introduced Canvas, a new AI-powered site builder that lets merchants create and customize online stores through chat with its AI agent, Sidekick. Canvas renders changes in real time, showing the actual code and enabling full interactivity testing across screen sizes. It presents the store as a cohesive visual workspace, allowing merchants to view, edit, and develop pages without deep coding knowledge. Sidekick can directly access theme files, make coordinated changes, and validate its own work, having already handled over 25 million theme changes in H1 2026. Initially, Canvas lacks support for third-party themes, app blocks, and translations, and is desktop-only, but Shopify plans to expand its capabilities. The tool will roll out gradually, with the existing editor remaining for now, and aims to make e-commerce more accessible to non-coders.
