About Yuri

Yuri is a smart bookmark manager that works through a Telegram bot and a Chrome extension, with a cat mascot. You forward a post, reel, video, thread or article from Pinterest, YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, X, TikTok, Instagram or the web, or use the Chrome extension to save it with a single click. On the Basic and Pro plans Yuri then fetches the text or transcript where available and gives an explanation in plain English, the main ideas, tags and suggested next steps.

Saved links are sorted and tagged automatically and the whole library is searchable, and a saved idea can seed a draft post for LinkedIn, X, YouTube or TikTok. On Pro you can put questions to Yuri about the items in your library. The site says it processes only the specific links you send and does not read other Telegram conversations, contacts or attachments. Starter is free with 25 links a month and no AI. Basic is 4.99 euros a month for up to 400 saved links, and Pro is 12.99 euros a month for up to 1,200 links, with two months free on annual billing.
