GleanaryFollow links
Gleanary can read the links in what you save and bring back the ones worth keeping.
Choose a level
Section titled “Choose a level”Open Settings › Capture and move the Follow links in saved sources slider. The default is Balanced.
| Level | What Gleanary does |
|---|---|
| Off | Ignores links in saved sources. |
| Lazy | Notes the links, but fetches nothing. |
| Suggest | Suggests the most promising links. Saves nothing on its own. |
| Balanced | Saves links the author recommends, and suggests the rest. |
| Eager | Also saves links and citations close to what’s already in your library, up to two links away. |
| Explore | Like Eager, and keeps following links in the background, up to three links away. |
Limits on automatic saves
Section titled “Limits on automatic saves”Levels that save on their own have daily limits, so your library doesn’t fill up:
| Level | Per source | Per day | Per site, per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balanced | 3 | 20 | 3 |
| Eager | 10 | 60 | 5 |
| Explore | 10 | 150 | 10 |
Links that are further from your own saves count for less. Social profiles, sign-up pages and sponsor links are always skipped.
Sources saved automatically don’t get a summary. If you never open one, it’s archived after 30 days. Opening it, filing it or linking it to something else keeps it.
Use suggestions
Section titled “Use suggestions”Suggestions appear in chat as Suggested reading. Each one says where it came from, such as Recommended by the creator or Cited in the source. Choose Save to keep one, or dismiss it.
Set a level for one category
Section titled “Set a level for one category”Under Levels for categories, choose Add Category to give a category its own level. Its subcategories use the same level.
Unmute a site
Section titled “Unmute a site”Sites you’ve muted are listed under Sites you muted. Choose Unmute to follow links to a site again.
Keep exploring in the background
Section titled “Keep exploring in the background”At Explore, the Source explorer automation follows links on a schedule, within a daily budget. It does nothing at other levels. See Automations.
