About

Save it now, read it later — even offline. ReadNest is a calm, 100% local read-it-later app: one click
stores a clean copy of any article on your own device, so your reading list is fast, private, and never
at the mercy of a service that shuts down.

No account. No cloud. No tracking. Nothing you save ever leaves your browser.

WHY READNEST
• Offline copies that last — keeps the actual article text on your device, so it survives paywalls,
  link rot, and apps that get discontinued.
• Private by design — no sign-in, no servers, no analytics, no remote code. ReadNest only reads a page
  when YOU click Save, using the minimal activeTab permission.
• Yours to keep — export anything, anytime.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Save in one click — toolbar button, right-click “Save to ReadNest”, or Alt+Shift+S.
• Read beautifully — distraction-free reader with light / sepia / dark themes, serif or sans, adjustable
  text size and width, and a progress bar that remembers where you left off.
• Highlight & annotate — select text to highlight in five colors and attach your own notes.
• Organize — Inbox, Archive and Favorites, plus free-form tags.
• Find anything — free full-text search across titles, content, tags and your notes.
• Export — Markdown, EPUB, HTML, JSON backup or CSV, for one article or your whole library.

LEAVING POCKET OR INSTAPAPER?
Import your list in one click: ReadNest reads Pocket (HTML/CSV) and Instapaper (CSV) exports, plus its
own JSON backups — all processed locally.

PERMISSIONS, IN PLAIN ENGLISH
• activeTab + scripting — read the current page’s article only when you choose to save it.
• storage — remember your settings on this device.
• side panel — show your library.  • context menus — add the right-click “Save to ReadNest”.
ReadNest requests no host permissions, no downloads permission, and makes no network requests.
