FlickEmail yourself a link in one tap, not six.
Emailing yourself is the oldest save-for-later trick, because your inbox is where you already look. The only problem is the six steps and the subject line that just says "link". Flick keeps the inbox and drops the rest.
- Free for everyone
- No ads, no password
- Android, iPhone and desktop
The short answer
- The usual way: Share, Gmail, type your address, think of a subject, send.
- With Flick: Share, then Flick. Done.
- You get a clean subject, a picture and a one-line gist, so it's easy to find later.

When Emailing yourself is the better pick. Emailing yourself by hand still makes sense when you want to write a long note to go with the link. Flick can do that too: share text and it arrives as an email.
