A few years ago, our founder Jamil found himself encountering the same problem over and over again; how to save, organise and share a collection of links in a meaningful and visually-engaging way.
University research, trip recommendations, work resources – every time he tried to share information with friends, lecturers and colleagues, he ended up with unwieldy text documents and emails filled with lists of links.
Jamil set out to find a better way of doing things; a way to bookmark, organise and curate content from across the web and use it to create beautiful, informative and engaging collections.
Today, millions of people around the world use Wakelet every day. Educators, students, sportspeople, bloggers, researchers, travellers, journalists, librarians, photographers, organisations and individuals are all using the platform to curate content from across the web, gather research, create digital portfolios, tell digital stories, distribute newsletters, and much, much more.
The name “Wakelet” is inspired by the word “wake,” which refers to the trail created in water as a boat moves through it. The idea behind the name is that, just as a boat creates a wake, users on the platform create a curated “trail” or collection of content that others can follow. This metaphor reflects the platform’s purpose of allowing users to gather, organize, and share digital content in a meaningful way.
Wakelet is based in Manchester, United Kingdom.
Wakelet is a powerful all-in-one content curation and collaboration platform that enables users to organize, manage, and share digital content in an easily accessible format. It serves as a central hub where individuals, teams, and organizations can gather various types of content—including web links, articles, videos, images, PDFs, text, quizzes, and documents—and present them in visually appealing collections. With its extensive integrations, layout options, and customization features, Wakelet is a versatile tool for achieving a wide range of personal, educational, and professional goals.
