About Read Stash: Local Read-Later, Pocket Replacement
Read Stash is a local-first read-later tool. Save any article with one click and come back to it when you have time — with no account, no cloud, and no reading list leaving your device.
WHAT IT DOES
Save the page you are reading, then find it again later in a clean, searchable library. Read Stash pulls the title, excerpt, reading time, and cover image locally in your browser and keeps them on your device. That is the whole tool: save links now, read them later.
HOW TO USE IT
- Click the toolbar icon on any page to save it.
- Or right-click a page or a link and choose "Save to Read Stash".
- Press Alt+Shift+S (Option+Shift+S on macOS) to save the current tab from the keyboard.
- Open your library to browse, search, tag, archive, or delete saved articles.
- Open any saved article in reader mode for a clean, distraction-free view.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No account and no login.
- No cloud sync of your article content.
- No telemetry, no analytics, no ad tracking.
- Everything is stored locally through chrome.storage on your device.
- You can delete any article, or clear the whole library, at any time.
FREE FEATURES
- One-click save from the toolbar, right-click menu, or keyboard shortcut.
- A local article library with full-text search across titles, excerpts, URLs, and tags.
- Default tags applied automatically on every save.
- Archive, restore, and delete.
- Reader mode with light, dark, and auto themes.
- Per-domain pause, so the save prompt stays off the sites you choose.
READ STASH PRO ($99, ONE-TIME)
Pro is optional. A single payment unlocks the Pro features inside Read Stash. There is no subscription and no per-seat billing:
- Metadata sync across your own devices (URLs and tags only, never article content).
- Export your library to JSON, Markdown, or HTML.
- Optional reading reminders.
- 7-day free trial, no card required to start.
- 30-day money-back guarantee.
The core extension is free to use for as long as you like. Upgrade at zovo.one if you want the Pro features.
WHY LOCAL-FIRST
Cloud read-later services can shut down and take your saved list with them. Read Stash keeps your reading list on your own device, so it stays yours.
