I build Reservoir because the things that shape us pass by once and are gone: the article that changed your mind, the episode you meant to share. I want it to be the place they stay, and to find them for you the moment they matter again.
That matters because of what happened to everyone else.
PocketTen million libraries. Closed in 2025: it did not fit its owner’s plans.
OmnivoreIts team was hired away, then shut.
A bootstrapped oneThe most durable in the category: over a decade, on subscriptions alone.
ReservoirDeliberately small, and deliberately sold.
So Reservoir is deliberately small, and deliberately sold.
$4.40 a month from people who find it useful is a business that can keep its promises about a library you intend to keep for years.

Commitments that are easy to write and hard to walk back, so they are worth writing.
Your library leaves whenever you want
Export is one button and the format is plain. Being easy to leave is what makes asking for your library fair.
It works without us
The app is local-first: your saves, the search and the on-device AI keep working with no network, and would keep working if the servers went away tomorrow.
No advertising, ever
There is no ad SDK in the app and no analytics service. The privacy policy lists exactly what is sent, and it is short.
Bugs are answered by the person who wrote them
Contact us in the app or on the web, and the reply comes from the one person here.
