// UNIHODL vs OMNIVORE
Omnivore cleans articles to read. UNIHODL saves where you were across anything.
Omnivore is a read-later tool — save an article, get a distraction-free reader view. UNIHODL isn't read-later. It captures the exact state of unfinished work — including pages you don't want to re-read, just resume.

Where UNIHODL wins.
Not just articles — tabs, videos, code, email
Omnivore optimizes reading. UNIHODL captures YouTube timestamps, GitHub file+line, email threads, whole tab sessions — anything interrupted.
Exact resume, not reader view
UNIHODL takes you back to the original page at the exact scroll position. Omnivore takes you to a reformatted article copy.
Canvas + decision boards
Turn your held work into structured decisions — not just highlights in a reading library.
Team handoff
Transfer held research to a teammate with full reasoning. Omnivore is personal reading.
