Save the pages you need before you lose signal, then read it anywhere. saves the pages you choose, along with the styles and files that make them display correctly. Land in a dead zone and you've still got the full site in your pocket. Plenty of save-for-later tools keep a stripped-down copy of a single page. This one keeps real pages with working links, so you move from page to page the way you would online. YOU CONTROL WHAT GETS SAVED - Set the link depth, so the app follows links one level deep or many levels down - Set a page limit, so you can cap a save at ten pages or let it run across the or raise when you need it more. - Grab a single section when that's all you need, or capture an entire site when you want everything Depth and page limits also keep your storage use and save time in check. You decide how much to pull, every time. BUILT-IN SAVED COPY VIEWER This is more than a plain file opener. The viewer processes your locally saved files and renders them the way they were meant to look, so a saved page behaves like the original instead of showing broken layouts and missing images. Tap through your saved site offline and it feels like the live one. ASSET VIEWER Every site is made of more than its pages. The asset viewer takes everything the crawler pulled down, including Assets, Resources, CSS, and JavaScript, and sorts it into clean, organized lists. You can preview each item right there, which helps when you want to see exactly how a page was put together. FAST SAVES Saves are quick, even for a long page set. WHAT ELSE YOU GET - A visual site tree that shows how all the pages connect - A Files-style manager to find any saved item in seconds - Full support for iPhone and iPad, with a layout that fits each screen - Saved sites that open with no Wi-Fi and no data, anywhere you are WORKS WITH NO CONNECTION Once a site is saved, you don't need a signal to open it. That makes it useful for: - Flights and long train rides - Travel abroad, when roaming charges pile up - Basements, tunnels, trails, and other dead zones - Research you want to keep, even if the page later changes - Backing up a site before it goes offline for good PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything you save stays on your device.
