LaterVault: Read It Later, 100% Local

Save any article with one click and read it later, even offline. LaterVault keeps your entire reading list on your own computer. No account. No cloud. No subscription. No tracking. Pocket shut down in July 2025 and took millions of reading lists with it. Omnivore closed the year before. Any reading list that lives on someone else's server can disappear. LaterVault is built so that can never happen: every article you save is stored in your browser, readable forever, and exportable to a plain JSON file whenever you want. WHAT IT DOES • Save the current page with one click, a right-click, or Ctrl+Shift+S • Articles are cleaned into a distraction-free reader view (the same Readability engine Firefox uses) • Full-text search across everything you have ever saved • Light and dark reading themes, adjustable text size • Works offline: saved articles open with no connection MOVING FROM POCKET OR OMNIVORE Import your Pocket export file (HTML or CSV) or Omnivore JSON in seconds. LaterVault can then download the readable text of every imported article so your old reading list becomes a real offline library, not a pile of dead links. LATERVAULT PRO (optional, $12 one time) Everything above is free forever. Pro is a one-time unlock, no subscription, for people who live in their reading list: • Tags to organize your library and filter by them • Sepia and true-black reading themes on top of light and dark • Highlights and notes: mark passages, add a note, and they travel with your export • Automatic daily or weekly backups saved as a JSON file on your own computer YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS LaterVault has no server of its own and no analytics. It never sends your saved articles, your notes, or your reading habits anywhere. The free version sends nothing at all. If you buy Pro, the one and only thing ever sent is your license key, to a license service that checks the key is valid. Everything else stays on your computer. Export your whole library to JSON at any time, and if you ever stop using LaterVault you take it all with you. PERMISSIONS, PLAINLY LaterVault only touches a page when you save it (that is the "read the page you click on" permission). Downloading text for imported articles is optional and asks for access only when you press the button. Pro's automatic backup writes a copy of your library to your own Downloads folder; nothing leaves your computer.
