Wakelet

What Wakelet is

Wakelet is a content curation platform for gathering links, files, videos, notes, images, and ideas into visual collections. Collections can stay private, be shared, or be used collaboratively, then presented as visual pages. Wakelet says collections are private by default until users choose to share them. People use the service for classroom resources, portfolios, research, newsletters, team knowledge hubs, and personal projects. Its Chrome and Microsoft Edge extension saves web content directly into collections, and the service is also available on the web and through mobile browsers. Wakelet has no iPhone or Android app. Tools represented in Wakelet content include YouTube, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Canva. The free Starter plan allows up to three created collections, three published collections, unlimited joins, and 250 items; the comparison also lists up to 50 items per collection and 1GB storage. Pro starts at $11.99/mo and adds unlimited collections and items, video uploads, and other options. Wakelet states that it is COPPA, FERPA, CSPC, EDLAW2D, and GDPR compliant and meets WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. Its headquarters are in Manchester, United Kingdom.
