Paper Mode - Read the Web Like E-Ink

About

Paper Mode turns webpages into a calm, paper-like e-ink reading experience. It softens bright pages, reduces visual clutter, converts colors into a more readable grayscale look, and gives websites a warm paper background that is easier on the eyes.

Whether you are reading articles, browsing documentation, using ChatGPT, doing research, or working late at night, Paper Mode helps make the web feel quieter and more comfortable.

What Paper Mode does
Paper Mode applies an e-ink inspired display style to webpages, including:
- Warm paper-style background
- Grayscale page treatment
- Reduced glare from bright white pages
- Cleaner text contrast
- Softer media and image handling
- Optional Reader Mode for distraction-free reading
- Reduced motion for calmer browsing
- Per-site rules for more control

Why install Paper Mode
- Most websites are designed with bright colors, high-contrast panels, ads, animations, and visual noise. That can make long reading sessions tiring.

Paper Mode gives you a simple way to make webpages feel more like reading on paper or an e-reader. It is especially useful for:
- Long articles
- Research pages
- Blogs and newsletters
- Documentation
- News sites
- Late-night browsing
- Focused reading sessions

Simple controls
- Use Paper Mode with a basic default toggle, or customize how it behaves by website.

You can set Paper Mode to:
- Apply by default across websites
- Always turn on for specific websites
- Always stay off for specific websites
- Remember your choices after relaunch
- Toggle quickly with Alt/⌥ + Shift + E

Free and Pro
- Free includes the basic e-ink toggle.
- Pro lets you choose which websites use e-ink, remember your choices, enable Reader Mode, and fine-tune the display.

Designed to feel calm
- Paper Mode is built to be minimal and practical. It does not try to replace websites or block content. It simply makes the web easier to read by reducing harsh colors, bright backgrounds, and unnecessary visual strain.
