Switching from Pocket?
When Mozilla shut Pocket down, they gave you an HTML export (ril_export.html). Upload it to Readden: titles, URLs, tags, and archive status all transfer. No re-saving articles one by one.
Most read-later apps are social feeds now — tabs, algorithmic queues, retention loops. Readden is a save queue and a clean reader. Nothing else.

What it does
Paste a URL or hit the Chrome extension — now live. No collections to organize, no algorithm deciding what surfaces. It lands in your queue and waits.
A clean reader strips the ads, popups, and cookie walls. Just the text, set in a proper measure, at a size you can live in.
Export everything as JSON whenever you want. No lock-in, no dark patterns on the way out. Your library is yours.
Connect your AI
Readden speaks MCP — the open protocol behind Claude Desktop, Cursor, and a growing list of AI tools. Generate a key, paste it in, and your assistant can save and search your library for you.
save_article Hand any URL to your assistant and it lands in your queue.
search_articles Ask for that piece you saved last week — by keyword, not by memory.
list_articles Pull up your unread, favorites, or archive without leaving the chat.
mark_as_read Clear things off the queue as you finish them.

Browser bookmarks don't have a reader view, don't sync cleanly across browsers, and don't preserve the article text if the original URL goes down. Readden stores article content so you can read it even if the page 404s later. It also gives you a single queue across all your devices and browsers.
You do. Export your full library as JSON or CSV from account settings any time — no support ticket required. We store article text on our servers so you can read it; we don't sell it or use it to train models. The privacy policy has the full list of what we collect.
Not currently. We haven't ruled it out, but we're a small indie product and haven't committed to it. The practical answer for data ownership: the export works, so you're not dependent on the source being open to get your content out.
Not today — it's a hosted service. Self-hosting isn't on the near-term roadmap. A small team supporting self-hosted installs isn't something we can do responsibly right now.
Pro adds AI auto-tagging, semantic search across your library, and a daily reading digest email. The free tier already covers everything most people need day to day. Join the waitlist on the pricing section to be first.
Yes. Readden runs an MCP server, so any MCP-compatible AI assistant — Claude Desktop, Cursor, and others — can save, search, and manage your reading list on your behalf. Generate an API key under Settings → API Keys in the app, drop it into your client's config, and your assistant can hand you articles or pull up something you saved earlier. It's free to use.
We use PostHog for product analytics — page views and feature interactions. We don't read what articles you save or what content is in them. Readden runs from Switzerland, follows Swiss and EU privacy law, and has no ad business to feed data to. Full details in the privacy policy.
