Couch

What Couch is

Couch is a reading and saving app from Couch, based in Vienna, Austria. It runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and content syncs between Apple devices through iCloud without a separate account. The free version includes unlimited saves and basic features. Saved items can be arranged with tags, folders, and smart folders, then searched by title, tag, author, or website. Its built-in reader supports offline access, and saved content can include highlights, comments, and summaries; highlights can also be exported.

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. Couch is optimized for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26. Pro unlocks advanced features through a one-time in-app purchase. The listed Pro plans do not show a price; one reviewer said they paid an extra $2.99 for Pro.
