Escape the backlog

Your saved articles,
turned into a real magazine.

Pondr takes what you meant to read and turns it into a printed issue you can actually finish — away from feeds, tabs, and screens.

A Pondr magazine cover

From backlog to bounded reading.

You save more than you can ever get through. Articles pile up in tabs, apps, and read-later queues — a growing list of good intentions you never return to. The backlog becomes its own kind of noise.

Pondr selects the best of what you saved, lays it out beautifully, and turns it into something finite: an issue you can hold, mark up, finish, and put on a shelf. Not another feed. A reading ritual with an ending.


Three steps from screen to paper.

01

Save articles as you go

Save anything you'd read later — from newsletters, blogs, or social feeds. Pondr picks it up from wherever you save.

02

Curate your issue

Choose your reading time. Tag must-reads and skip-these. Pondr selects the best mix and lays it out in magazine format.

03

A magazine arrives

A printed issue shows up at your door — something finite you can hold, read through, and finish. No charger required.

Before you start.

Everything you need to know about turning your reading list into a magazine.

What is Pondr?

Pondr is a service that turns your saved articles into a beautifully typeset, printed magazine delivered to your door. Each issue is curated from your own reading list and designed for focused, screen-free reading — no ads, no algorithms, no infinite scroll.

How does Pondr work?

Connect your Instapaper account or add articles via RSS feeds. Choose your preferred reading time (1, 2, or 4 hours), and Pondr lays out your articles in magazine format with a generated cover. You can preview the PDF before ordering a printed copy shipped worldwide.

How much does a Pondr magazine cost?

Pricing depends on the edition size. A one-hour issue (~30 pages) starts at the lowest price, a two-hour issue (~60 pages) is the most popular, and a four-hour issue (~120 pages) is the deepest read. A digital PDF option is also available at a lower price. Shipping cost is calculated at checkout.

Where do the articles come from?

Every article comes from your own reading list. Pondr connects to Instapaper and RSS feeds — it does not add, edit, or editorially curate content. You control exactly what goes into each issue.

Where do you ship and how long does delivery take?

Pondr ships worldwide through our print partner. Delivery typically takes 5–10 business days depending on your location. Shipping cost is shown before checkout so there are no surprises.

Is there a digital-only option?

Yes. Every edition is available as a magazine-formatted PDF that you can read on a tablet, print at home, or take to a local print shop. The digital option is priced lower than the printed version.
