Bookmark Read Later by Linkjoy, a bookmark manager for iPhone, iPad and Mac from Indie Goodies LLC, currently lists its Lifetime in-app purchase at $0.00 on its App Store page. The Hong Kong site New Mobile Life reports that the lifetime version, which normally costs US $15.99, is free for a limited time.
The app itself is a free download with in-app purchases, so the offer is about the paid unlock inside it, not about the download.
What exactly is free?
The App Store page lists three in-app purchases: Yearly at $9.99, Weekly at $2.99 and Lifetime at $0.00. The tip article describes the $0.00 Lifetime option as a limited time giveaway of the lifetime version, which it says is normally priced at US $15.99.
Neither source gives an end date. The offer can therefore finish at any time, and the price shown on your own screen is the only thing that counts.
How do you get the lifetime version?
New Mobile Life describes the steps this way:
- Install Bookmark Read Later - Linkjoy from the App Store.
- Open the app and finish the first setup screens.
- When the paywall appears, look at the Lifetime option.
- If it shows $0, confirm it to claim the lifetime version.
The article adds a warning: if the Lifetime price is not $0, the free offer has ended, and you should not confirm a paid purchase unless you want one. Use only the official App Store listing for the download.
Prices
Here are the in-app purchase prices as they appear on the App Store listing, in dollars as the page writes them:
- Lifetime: $0.00 during the offer, normally US $15.99 according to New Mobile Life
- Yearly: $9.99
- Weekly: $2.99
The sources do not say which countries the offer covers, and prices in other regions or currencies are not given, so check your own App Store before you count on it. Lifetime is the only option that removes the recurring charge, which is why the offer matters.
What does the app do?
According to the listing, you can share links into the app from Safari, Chrome or any other app. It detects the type of link, such as an article, a video or a GitHub repository, and smart rules can sort new bookmarks into folders and tags automatically. Nested folders, colour coded tags, filters such as Unread and Favorites, and full text search help you find things later.
For reading, a reader view removes ads and clutter, and a notebook mode lets you highlight passages and write notes. A built-in browser keeps cookies isolated by profile, and a content blocker handles ads and trackers at system level. Everything syncs through iCloud, and one purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Who it suits
People who save lots of links. If your bookmarks pile up in several apps and never get read, the rules engine, folders and filters are the main draw. The listing even claims that 90% of saved links are forgotten within 24 hours, and the app adds streaks and rewards to encourage a reading habit.
Owners of several Apple devices. The universal purchase and iCloud sync mean a lifetime unlock applies across iPhone, iPad and Mac. The Mac version needs macOS 26.0 or later and a Mac with an Apple M1 chip or later.
Readers who care about privacy. The developer states in its App Store privacy section that it does not collect any data from the app. Apple notes that this information has not been verified by Apple.
Anyone on an older system. The app requires iOS 26.0 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 26.0 or later on iPad, so it will not install on older software. The download is 107.1 MB.
What should you do next?
Open the App Store listing on your device and check the Lifetime price before you decide. The rating count is still tiny, so treat the app as a new release and judge it by your own use. If the price already reads more than $0, the offer has ended.
