# Readplace — Read-It-Later App

> Readplace is a privacy-first read-it-later app and browser extension. A direct alternative to Pocket (shut down July 2025) and Omnivore (shut down late 2024). Built in Australia by Fayner Brack, creator of js-cookie (22 billion+ annual CDN downloads on jsDelivr).

> Markdown of any page is also available via Accept: text/markdown.

Readplace lets you save articles with one click using browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome, read them later in a distraction-free reader view, and get an AI-generated TL;DR summary for every article. User data is hosted in Sydney, Australia under the Australian Privacy Act. No third-party tracking, no ads, no third-party analytics. Source-available on GitHub.
