About PaperWeight
Save your time finding what to read and get your personal feed in a click.
PaperWeight lets you follow authors and publications across open web — then ranks new articles by how relevant they are to you.
As you read, like, and dislike articles, PaperWeight continuously learns your interests and improves your feed over time.
✨ Features
📰 Smart Ranked Feed
Fetch new posts from every source you follow and rank them by personal relevance — not publish time.

PaperWeight learns from your reading behaviour, likes, dislikes, and reading depth to personalise recommendations.
🗂 Reading Queue Side Panel
Keep your reading list open alongside any article you’re viewing.
📧 Weekly Email Digest (Optional)
Receive a personalised summary of top articles directly in your Gmail inbox.
🏷️ AI-Powered Topic Tagging (Optional)
Use your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google API key for smarter article tagging and faster personalisation.
How It Works:
Follow any blog, newsletter, or publication with a web feed
Like or dislike articles as you read
Click Get Latest to fetch and rank everything new across your sources
PaperWeight continuously updates your recommendations based on what you actually enjoy reading.
Why PaperWeight?
Most RSS readers show posts in chronological order.
PaperWeight instead builds a personal relevance model using:
- author affinity
- topic overlap
- reading behaviour
- engagement patterns
The result: the articles most likely to matter to you rise to the top automatically.
🔒 Privacy First — No Servers, No Accounts
Everything stays in your browser:
- followed sources
- reading history
- taste profile
- preferences
No accounts. No analytics. No tracking.
- PaperWeight stores data locally using Chrome storage. Nothing is sent to PaperWeight servers because there are none.
Outbound requests are limited to:
- RSS feeds you follow
- your chosen AI provider (optional)
- your own Google Apps Script for email digests (optional)
Privacy Policy: paperweight.work/privacy
🏷️ Optional AI Tagging
Without an API key, PaperWeight uses keyword-based tagging.
With your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google API key, article titles and snippets are analysed to generate more accurate topic tags and improve recommendations faster.
Only article titles and snippets are sent — never personal browsing data.
📧 Optional Email Digest
Set up a free Google Apps Script in your own Google account to receive weekly reading digests.
PaperWeight generates the digest locally and sends it from your own Gmail account to your own inbox. No PaperWeight infrastructure is involved.
Digests can include:
- top-ranked articles
- grouped newsletters
- AI-generated summaries (with API key enabled)
