ReadCue — Reading List Companion

Automatically see if a page is saved, read or watched as you browse, no clicking needed. Works with Chrome’s built-in Reading List.

Already read that article? Already watched that video? ReadCue shows, as you browse, whether the page you’re on is in your Chrome Reading List and whether you’ve marked it as read. There’s no need to open the list and search. KNOW AT A GLANCE • Green: marked as read or watched • Orange: saved, still unread or unwatched • Gray: not in your Reading List Optional page notices show your status without clicking the icon, then disappear with a countdown bar. SAME CONTENT, DIFFERENT LINK Newsletter links, tracking parameters and YouTube timestamps can give the same content different URLs. ReadCue ignores supported tracking parameters and recognizes supported YouTube links by video ID, so a saved video still matches at any timestamp. Matching uses URL rules only, never page titles or article text. Saved entries are never changed; new ones are added with a cleaned URL. MANAGE YOUR LIST FROM THE PAGE • Add the current page to your Reading List • Mark articles read or unread, and videos watched or unwatched • Remove entries, with 10 seconds to Undo • Open Details to see how a page matched a saved entry You stay in control: opening a page or playing a video never marks it finished. USES CHROME’S OWN READING LIST No separate service and no ReadCue account. If Chrome syncs your Reading List across computers, ReadCue recognizes those entries on every computer where the extension is installed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything is processed locally in your browser. ReadCue doesn’t send data to the developer, collect analytics or show ads. Website access is optional and only enables in-page notices. Reading List checks work without it, with native notifications as a fallback. GOOD TO KNOW • Desktop Chrome 120 or later. Mobile Chrome isn’t supported. • Syncing across computers depends on Chrome’s Reading List sync. • “Read” and “watched” are statuses you set yourself, not detected reading or playback. Dates shown are Chrome’s last-update time. • Browser scheduling can delay a removal. Undo works until it runs. MADE BY IMAN A hobby project I started to solve a personal need.
