Intent

I need it when

Save and manage a personal library of articles, PDFs, and web content

Reader Mode functions as a read-it-later and bookmark manager with unlimited storage on Premium plans. Users can save articles, images, and PDFs, create permanent copies of web pages, organize content with nested folders and filters, and access their collection across web and mobile platforms.

Improve reading accessibility for users with dyslexia, ADHD, or visual impairments

Reader Mode includes dyslexia-friendly fonts (OpenDyslexic, Lexend), reading rulers, text-to-speech with human-like voices, and customizable visual themes. These accessibility features are specifically designed to assist users with reading difficulties and improve comprehension and reading proficiency.

Eliminate distractions while reading web articles and research materials

Reader Mode provides a distraction-free reader that removes ads, clutter, and unwanted elements from webpages. Users can customize fonts, colors, line width, and toggle images to create their ideal reading environment, helping them focus on content without visual noise.

Highlight, annotate, and organize research findings across multiple sources

Reader Mode enables multi-color highlighting on webpages and PDFs with note-taking capabilities, nested folder organization, custom labels, and tags. Users can generate citations automatically and export highlights to Evernote, Notion, and Obsidian for seamless research workflow integration.

Share reading insights and curated collections with others

Reader Mode allows users to create public profiles and collections, share bookmarks and highlights with collaborators, invite others to collaborate on collections, and embed bookmarks on websites or blogs. This enables knowledge sharing and collaborative research workflows.
