In their own words
Couch
Couch is a content-saving and reading app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Its free version includes unlimited saves and basic features. Saved items can be organized with tags, folders, and smart folders, and searched by title, tag, author, or website. Users can add highlights, comments, and summaries; highlights can also be exported. A built-in reader supports offline access. Couch syncs content across Apple devices through iCloud without requiring a separate account, and browser extensions are available for Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and compatible browsers. The app says it has no sign-up, tracking, or ads, and that user data is stored in iCloud rather than tracked, mined, or sold. Apple Intelligence summaries and tag suggestions are processed on-device. Pro unlocks advanced features through a one-time in-app purchase, but no price is listed for the plans. One reviewer reported paying an extra $2.99 for Pro; that report is not a listed plan price.
