Read Later Local von McGregor

Read Later Local is a Pocket alternative that runs entirely inside Firefox. There's no account and no server: your links, articles and notes stay on your computer and nobody can take them away.

SAVE
• One click in the address bar (Alt+Shift+S), from the button's menu, or right-click any link.
• Several tabs at once, or "Save and close the tab".
• Keeps the article text (with Readability, the engine behind Firefox Reader View), a thumbnail and, if you want, the pictures.
• Recognises the same page under a different address (tracking parameters, www, anchors…).
• Imports your Pocket export (CSV): links, tags and archive.

READ
• Offline reader with light, dark or sepia theme, text size, font and width.
• Remembers where you left off and archives when you reach the end.
• Listen to articles with your system's voices.
• Colour highlights with notes, print or save as PDF, send by email and export to Markdown (Obsidian).
• Full-text search across all your articles.

ORGANISE
• Unread, favourites, archive and a 30-day trash.
• Tags, collections, filters by site and type, short reads and bulk editing.
• Automatic rules (for example, youtube.com → tag "video").
• "Cleanup mode" to go through your list one item at a time: keep, archive or delete with one key.
• Sidebar with your list while you browse (Alt+Shift+B).

AUTOMATIC CLEANUP: YOUR LIST DOESN'T GROW OUT OF CONTROL
• Set your rules once and the extension takes care of the rest. For example: "delete items in the News collection older than a month", "items tagged 'deals' older than a week" or "archived items older than a year".
• You can also give a single item an expiry date ("delete it in 3 months").
• Whatever is cleaned up goes to a 30-day trash in case you change your mind, keeping only the title and address so it takes no space.

LIGHTWEIGHT
• Optimised to use little memory, CPU and disk: it does nothing in the background while you're not using it, and each part loads only when it's needed.
• Compact data: compressed articles, small thumbnails and a reduced search index. Offline pictures are deleted automatically when you archive.
• Imported articles are downloaded one at a time and only while the list is open, so Firefox doesn't slow down.

YOUR DATA
• Automatic backups to your Downloads folder, full backup, Pocket-compatible CSV, HTML bookmarks and Markdown.
• Collects and sends no data. It only connects to the pages you save.

Available in 15 languages.

Permissions: access to all websites is optional and only requested if you turn on background download for imported items or offline pictures. You can remove it at any time in "Data and backups".
