Oakamo saves articles for calm, distraction-free reading, with highlights and audio.
Grounded in available product and source data
A distraction-free reading and audio article app is exactly what Oakamo positions itself as, built around a specific complaint many readers share: feeds, algorithms, and endless scrolling get in the way of actually reading something worth reading.
Saving an article takes one click via a link, and Oakamo strips out the surrounding page clutter so the content displays in a clean interface with customizable font, theme, and spacing — sepia, serif, and large-print options are all named specifically for readers who care about how the text itself looks. Reading progress and bookmarks sync automatically, so switching from a browser tab to an iPhone or iPad picks up exactly where a reader left off.
What separates Oakamo from a plain read-it-later bookmark tool is what happens after saving: highlights and notes attach to any article and accumulate into what the site calls a personal library of searchable ideas, rather than disappearing into a pile of unread links. Articles can also convert to audio described as warm and natural-sounding, useful for anyone who wants to consume a saved piece while driving or doing something else with their hands.
Three tiers separate mainly by support and extras rather than gating the reading experience itself: Free includes every core feature — saving, the distraction-free reader, highlights, audio, categories, and Google Drive sync. Supporter, a paid monthly tier, removes advertisements and adds a supporter badge, and Pro adds business support and priority feature feedback on top. The site cites hundreds of readers on the platform currently, which is a modest number worth noting directly — Oakamo reads as an early-stage, deliberately calm alternative to larger read-it-later apps rather than an established platform with a long track record, and features like browser extensions and Pocket/Instapaper import are still on the roadmap rather than shipped yet.
No — the site states it explicitly avoids feeds, algorithms, and endless scrolling, focusing instead on articles a reader has deliberately chosen to save.
Not more reading tools — Supporter removes advertisements and adds a badge, and Pro layers on business support and priority feedback access, so upgrading is closer to supporting development than unlocking withheld functionality.
Yes — articles convert to audio described on the site as warm and natural-sounding, aimed at reading while doing something else rather than sitting at a screen.
Yes — reading progress and bookmarks sync automatically across any modern web browser and the dedicated iPhone and iPad apps.
Early-stage, per the site's own numbers — it cites hundreds of readers currently using it, and features like browser extensions and Pocket/Instapaper import are listed as roadmap items rather than already shipped, worth factoring in before relying on it as a primary reading tool.

👋 Hi Product Hunt! I'm Nicola, the maker of Oakamo. I built Oakamo because I love reading online, but I was tired of the same experience: dozens of open tabs, intrusive ads, distracting layouts, and saved articles I never came back to. I wanted a place where reading feels calm again. With Oakamo you can: 📖 Save articles from anywhere ✨ Read in a clean, distraction-free reader 🎧 Listen to articles on the go 🖍️ Highlight and revisit important ideas 📚 Organize everything in your personal library I've designed and built Oakamo over many months, paying attention to every detail, from the reading experience to the interface and performance. My goal wasn't to build another "read-it-later" app, but a place people genuinely enjoy coming back to. This is just the beginning, and I'd genuinely love your feedback. Every comment, suggestion, and upvote means a lot and will help shape what comes next. Thank you for checking out Oakamo! ❤️
