Matter

Matter provides a read-later app that stores articles, newsletters and transcripts with tools for listening, highlighting and search. In practice that means building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Matter is based in San Francisco, California. You can read more at getmatter.app.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Matter, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
