The sidebar organizes your content into the following sections:

  • Feeds: Contains your subscribed sources, including websites, blogs, and video channels.
  • Inbox: Your central workspace for active content. It aggregates items from all sources, including saved web pages, uploaded files like PDFs or EPUBs, and feed items added to your library.
  • Content types: Automatically categorizes your content by format, such as Articles, Videos, and Books.

Item status

Every item in Wise has a status that can be either Inbox or Read Later. You can change an item's status using the icons in the list view or the reader view.
