ReadControl per Rodrigo Boniatti

ReadControl is a read-later app for macOS. This extension is the Save button: click it on any page and the article lands in your ReadControl app, stripped of ads, banners, and pop-ups, with just the words and images you came to read. No account, no sign-up, no servers. It's free and open-source.

The reading is saved on your own computer, so you can open it anytime, even offline, on a plane, with no signal. No account, no sign-up, no servers. It's free and open-source.

WHAT IT DOES
• Save any page in one click, from the toolbar, the right-click menu, or a keyboard shortcut
• Cleans the page automatically, removing ads, navigation, and clutter while keeping the main content
• Works on JavaScript-rendered and logged-in pages, not just simple articles
• Saves images locally, so your reading is complete and fully offline
• Saves directly to the app on your machine. Nothing leaves your computer

IN THE APP (ReadControl for macOS)
• A clean, native reader with focus mode, dark mode, and adjustable font type and size
• Highlight text, rate readings, and tag them to build your own library
• Full-text search and filters to find anything you've saved
• Mark as read, archive, or open the original page anytime
• Every reading is a plain Markdown file on your disk. You own it, move it, and sync it however you like, whether that's iCloud, Dropbox, or git. No lock-in.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL
This extension needs the free ReadControl macOS app to save into. Download it at readcontrol.app. Without the app installed, the extension has nothing to save to.

PRIVACY
ReadControl reads a page only when you ask it to save one. The page content goes straight to the app on your own machine, never to a server. No tracking, no analytics, no account.
