Why SMRY is the best Omnivore alternative

Omnivore is gone. Here's why SMRY is the best replacement.

01

Actually online

Omnivore was shut down when ElevenLabs acqui-hired the team in November 2024. SMRY is running and actively developed.

02

AI-powered reading

Omnivore had no AI features. SMRY has AI summaries, article chat, and text-to-speech with 10 AI voices.

03

No data loss risk

Omnivore deleted all user data with minimal notice. SMRY stores article history locally on your device — your data stays with you.

04

No signup required

Paste a URL and start reading immediately. No account needed for core features.
