SaveDay Shut Down. Here's Where to Move Your Saved Links
SaveDay shut down on May 31, 2026 and did not point users to a replacement. If you relied on its Telegram bot to save and search things, the closest fit is MarkIt - a Telegram and WhatsApp bot that saves anything you forward, writes a summary, and lets you find it later in plain language. It is free up to 40 saves a month. There is no one-click importer for a SaveDay export, but re-saving is as simple as forwarding your links to the bot.
If you are reading this, you probably just lost a tool you actually used. SaveDay posted a goodbye to its community on April 30, 2026 and switched its servers off on May 31, with user data deleted after that date. It did not name a successor, so a lot of people are now sitting on an export file (or a memory of what they saved) and no obvious place to put it.
Here is the honest version of where to go, why most of the 'SaveDay alternative' lists point you at the wrong kind of tool, and how to rebuild your save habit in about five minutes.
How to move from SaveDay to MarkIt
Find your SaveDay export (if you saved one)
SaveDay let you export your saved items from the /exports page until May 31, 2026. If you grabbed that file, keep it open - it has your links. If you missed the window, do not panic: the links you actually return to are usually a small set you can re-add by memory or from your browser history.
Set up the MarkIt Telegram (or WhatsApp) bot
Create a free MarkIt account, open Settings then Bots, and connect Telegram - the same forward-to-a-bot gesture SaveDay used. Prefer WhatsApp? MarkIt has a native WhatsApp bot too. Setup takes about 30 seconds and there is no separate app to install.
Forward your links to the bot
Send your links to the MarkIt bot - from your export, from a chat, or straight from your browser's share sheet. For each one the bot fetches the title and preview, writes a one-line summary, files it under a topic, and makes it searchable, in about 5 seconds. Screenshots, PDFs, YouTube videos, and voice notes work the same way.
Find anything in plain language
Later, message the bot like a person - 'that article about sourdough' or 'the PDF on pricing' - and it searches the actual content of your saves, not just titles, and replies right in the chat. Your full library also lives at mark-it.co/dashboard on any device.
What happened to SaveDay
SaveDay was a chat-native save tool: a Telegram bot you forwarded links, articles, PDFs, and videos to, backed by a browser extension and apps, with AI summaries, a /ask question feature, and reminders. The goodbye post ('To our community: A goodbye from SaveDay') went up on April 30, 2026, and the service shut down completely on May 31, 2026, with all user data deleted after that date.
Two things make this migration different from a typical app sunset. First, SaveDay recommended no replacement, so there is no anointed destination - the field is open. Second, many SaveDay users came in through an AppSumo lifetime deal; if that is you, SaveDay's own notice asks you to log in to AppSumo to check your purchase date and contact [email protected] about a refund.
The honest shortlist: which SaveDay alternative fits you
There are genuinely good SaveDay alternatives, and the right one depends on what you used SaveDay for. If you mostly wanted a visual board of what you saved, mymind and Fabric are lovely auto-organizing libraries, and Pinterest is the giant if you only ever saved images. If you want tidy, classic bookmark folders that sync across devices, Raindrop is the most mature pick. Walling is good for mixing links with notes on a visual wall, and Heyday quietly resurfaces things as you browse. All worth a look - we are not pretending MarkIt is the only option.
But notice what every one of those has in common: they are web apps, extensions, and boards. The thing that made SaveDay feel different was that you saved by forwarding to a bot inside Telegram - a messaging app you were already in all day - and you searched the same way. If that chat-native habit is what you are trying to replace, the visual tools above will feel like a step down. That specific gap is the one MarkIt is built for.
- Almost none of the commonly listed alternatives have a Telegram or WhatsApp bot - the exact gesture SaveDay users had muscle memory for.
- Most make you leave your messaging app, open a separate web app or extension, and paste links in by hand.
- Visual boards are built for browsing thumbnails, not for forwarding a link in two taps and finding it later by what it said.
What MarkIt keeps from SaveDay (and where it differs)
MarkIt keeps the part that mattered: forward to a bot, it saves and summarizes, you search in plain language. You get a native Telegram bot and a native WhatsApp bot, AI summaries, automatic topic sorting, and semantic search that finds a save by its meaning rather than an exact keyword. It also adds OCR on screenshots and transcription on voice notes, so the text inside an image or a voice message becomes searchable too.
To be straight about the differences: SaveDay shipped native mobile apps, while MarkIt today is a fast installable web app (PWA) plus the bots, with native iOS and Android apps on the way. SaveDay had a /ask Q&A command; MarkIt answers through natural-language search and in-chat replies rather than a separate command. And there is no one-click importer for a SaveDay export yet - you bring your links in by forwarding them, which for most people is a five-minute job for the handful they actually revisit.
Frequently asked questions
SaveDay published its goodbye post on April 30, 2026 and fully shut down its services on May 31, 2026. User data was deleted after that date, so exports were only available up to May 31.
There is no one-click SaveDay importer today - we want to be honest about that. You move your links by forwarding them to the MarkIt bot, which most people do for the small set of saves they actually return to. If you have a large export and want a hand, email [email protected] and we will help you figure out the fastest path.
Yes - the core gesture is the same. You forward a link, article, PDF, video, or photo to the MarkIt bot in Telegram and it saves, summarizes, categorizes, and indexes it for search. MarkIt also has a native WhatsApp bot, so you can use whichever messaging app you live in (or both).
No - MarkIt is freemium, not a lifetime deal. The free tier covers 40 saves a month with all the AI features included, and a Pro tier with higher limits is in early access. For your SaveDay AppSumo purchase, SaveDay's notice directs lifetime-deal holders to contact [email protected] about a refund.
Yes. Every save gets a one-line AI summary and is automatically sorted by topic, and you search your whole library in plain language - by what a save was about, not just its title. SaveDay's /ask command maps to MarkIt's natural-language search and in-chat bot replies.
Yes, to start. The free tier is 40 captures a month across every source (Telegram, WhatsApp, links, screenshots, voice notes) with all AI features included - summaries, OCR, transcription, semantic search. A Pro tier with higher monthly limits is in early access.
The easier way: MarkIt
I'm Tomer, and I did not want to write a gloating 'switch to us' post - losing a tool you relied on genuinely stinks, and the SaveDay team clearly cared about the people who used it. But the question 'where do I move my saves now?' is real, and I think MarkIt is an honest answer, especially if what you loved was forwarding things to a Telegram bot and finding them later.
That is the exact itch I built MarkIt to scratch: send anything to a bot, and actually find it weeks later by just describing it. It works in Telegram and WhatsApp, it is free up to 40 saves a month, and there is no app to install to get started. If you are a SaveDay refugee, it should feel familiar fast.
