Readplace is a read-it-later app. Save articles from anywhere and read them later in a clean, focused reader — without the clutter, popups, and noise of the open web. SAVE FROM ANY APP Open a web page in Safari (or any app), tap Share, and choose Readplace. The article is captured and added to your reading list — no copy-paste, no tab hoarding. A CALM READING LIST Everything you saved in one place. Tap an article to read it in a distraction-free reader, and get an AI summary so you can decide what is worth your time before you dive in. Swipe to mark things read as you go. ORGANIZE YOUR READING Switch between readlists and choose where articles saved from the share sheet go. Readplace remembers your last open list and keeps unread and finished articles in separate tabs. READ YOUR WAY Choose light, dark, or system appearance. Download an article as an EPUB and use the iOS share sheet to save it or open it in another reading app. BUILT ON A DECADE OF READING Readplace grew out of a personal reading system refined over ten years. It does one thing well: help you actually read the things you meant to read. Your #1 AI-Powered Reading List. A Readplace subscription is required after the free trial.
