Sunny Reader

Mark up any page on the web. Sticky notes, highlights, and a clutter-free reader view—for students who read with a pen.

Make the web yours. Sunny Reader cleans up any web article into a calm, focused place to read—then gives you sticky notes, highlights, a built-in dictionary, and your own annotated copy of every page you've marked up. So you don't just read it. You remember it. Drop a sticky note in the margin. Highlight a passage in any of eight colors. Select a word for the definition, pronunciation, and synonyms. Edit out anything you don't need. Open the article in reader view and the banners, popups, and clutter fall away. Come back next week—your notes, highlights, and the article itself are right where you left them, saved to your reading history. Free. No account. Everything stays on your computer. WHAT YOU GET • Sticky notes anywhere on the page—choose from paper styles, tape designs, and cloud notes. A quote for the essay, a question for office hours, a reminder for the next time you visit. • Highlights in eight colors. Color-code by theme, argument, or "study this for the test." Saved automatically per page. • Reader view on any article. One click and the page becomes just the words, set in a typeface and width you choose. • A built-in dictionary. Select any word for the definition, pronunciation, and synonyms—no new tab required. • Wikipedia mode. Full notes and highlights layered on top of Wikipedia, without breaking the native layout. • Edit mode. Rewrite a sentence, hide a section, fix what the parser missed. The article becomes a draft you can shape. • Reading history. Every article you open is saved as your own annotated copy—title, site, your notes, your highlights—searchable, sortable, archivable, exportable. • Five color palettes, each with a matching dark mode. Or follow your system's dark mode automatically. • Move it all between machines. Export your settings and your reading history as files; import them anywhere. PRIVACY Your reading stays yours. No account. No sign-in. No telemetry. No analytics. No ads. No server. Your settings, notes, highlights, and reading history live on your computer. The only time Sunny Reader goes online is when you ask it to: looking up a word in the dictionary, which sends the word and nothing else. Uninstall and the extension takes its data with it.
