Stow

One-click save. Clean offline reading, instant full-text search, easy export. Local-first: no account, no tracking, no cloud.

Your reading list, kept on your device. Stow is a local-first read-it-later extension for Chrome. One click saves any article — clean text and images — into your own library, right inside your browser. No account. No cloud. No tracking. Your library lives in your browser's local storage and never leaves your device. WHAT IT DOES • Save — One click (or a keyboard shortcut) archives the article you're viewing: extracted main text, header image and in-article images, all stored locally. • Read — A distraction-free reader with light & dark themes, adjustable font size, table of contents, and reading-position memory. Works fully offline, on a plane or in a basement. • Search — Instant full-text search across titles, authors and content. Finds any article in a 1,000-item library in under 200 milliseconds, with highlighted results. • Export — Export any article as a self-contained HTML file, or back up your whole library as JSON. Your data is always yours to take. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Stow has zero telemetry, zero analytics and zero accounts. It makes no network requests — except when you choose to pay. Everything you save stays on your device, and browser permission to keep it safe from cleanup is requested explicitly. PRICING • Free — save up to 30 items, forever. Even if you never pay, your whole library stays readable, searchable and exportable. • Lifetime — $29 one-time. Every feature, no subscription, no recurring fees. Launch offer: $19 for a limited time. WHO IT'S FOR Researchers, students, journalists, developers and avid readers who collect long-form content and want a library that is fast, private and truly theirs — especially now that Pocket has shut down and readers need a new home for their reading lists.
