Instapaper, an app that lets you read articles without the clutter
Save any website or online article to read it later - anytime, anywhere and even offline - in a clean and uncluttered design. That's the idea behind the Instapaper app, now available for both Android and iOS. In the age of newsletter pop-ups, cookie disclaimers and overloaded website designs, the app formats pages and removes layout clutter to ensure the text is optimally readable on mobile devices. If the concept sounds familiar, then you might remember it from the reading app Pocket, which Mozilla killed off on July 8 (former users can still back up their data until October 8, but they now lack a reading app). Instapaper could well fill the gap, as former Pocket users would not need to make significant adjustments to the app: It allows unlimited articles and other pages to be saved in a reading-optimised format and organised into folders. Content can also be synchronised across different devices (browser, iOS and Android). Reading can be customised to be as individual and comfortable as possible with freely selectable fonts, colours and line spacing. The basic version of Instapaper is free for both iOS and Android. The premium version, which costs $6 or €7 per month or $60 or €70 per year, additionally allows users to highlight text, have text read aloud, and sort articles (by popularity, date or article length). It also includes a full-text search, an archive function for content you have read, and unlimited notes (limited to five per month in the basic version).

Nisaba Godrej outlines 2040 vision to shareholders in GCPL's annual report
In her letter to shareholders, Nisaba Godrej, executive chairperson of Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL), stated that the company's 2040 vision is bold, supported by a sharp total addressable market (TAM) strategy. She said this vision is already taking shape through GCPL's acquisition-led entry into deodorants, its foray into pet foods with a new brand, and its expansion into mass liquid detergents. Godrej opened her address by recalling a message from Sudhir Sitapati after last year's Godrej Group restructuring: 'Now let's be wildly successful.' She said the line stayed with her. 'It captures the spirit with which we're approaching the future—boldly, purposefully and with ambition,' she told shareholders. However, she acknowledged that the company has not yet achieved wild success and has fallen short of shareholder expectations. Godrej said that to be wildly successful, market-level growth is not enough. The company must move faster, be more honest about what's not working, resist blaming macroeconomic factors too easily, and relentlessly strengthen execution. Reflecting on the previous financial year, Godrej said: 'We saw strong momentum in innovation and working media investment. Brands like Godrej Aer continued to grow well. Fab, our new liquid detergent brand, crossed Rs 150 crore topline in its first year. Goodknight Incense Sticks have also been a big success. And Godrej Ninja, our entry into pet food, is a launch we did in record time with the partnership of our Group company, Godrej Agrovet.' She said the company also invested in strengthening its foundation, committing Rs 500 crore each to greenfield facilities at Chengalpattu in Tamil Nadu and Malanpur in Madhya Pradesh. 'Internationally, margins improved significantly—Africa, the US, and the Middle East reached 15 per cent EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) after simplification and restructuring. This sets the stage for more in FY26, especially in Chile. Meanwhile, products like Pocket (both Aer and Stella), shampoo hair colour (both NYU and Issue), and Goodknight Liquid Vaporiser are scaling rapidly, contributing Rs 400 crore to international sales in FY25—a 58 per cent two-year CAGR,' Godrej said.

A "flossing toothbrush" designed with two different types of bristles — one layer has classic firm bristles, while the longer layer is extra thin (10 times thinner, in fact!) and intended to clean deep between the cracks in your teeth and over your gums – just like floss. If you have sensitive teeth and love a deep clean, you're sure to love ~brushing up~ on your dental care game with this. An SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar, a K-Beauty *blessing* for anyone who is sick and tired of goopy, sticky sunscreen that leaves their eyes watering from harsh chemicals.
