Why Readstow

Opens instantly. Every word and picture lives on your iPhone.

Nothing competing for your attention. No ads, no trackers.

Posts and threads from X, as clean cards you can read anywhere.

Pick up where you left off, on any device you sign in to.

Everything you meant to read, finally in one place

Tap share, pick Readstow, carry on with your day. When you sit down to read, it is all there, clean and waiting.

Articles

Save from Safari or any app, or paste a link. Readstow lifts out the story, leaves the clutter behind and keeps the pictures.

Posts from X

Posts become tidy cards with the author, photos and quoted posts. Long threads unroll into one easy read.

Feeds

Follow the sites and writers you love. New pieces arrive in Following, kept apart from the things you saved on purpose.

A calm reader

Light, sepia or dark, the font you like, and the size, spacing and margins that suit your eyes. Just you and the words.

Made for no signal

On the plane, on the train, in the lift, on holiday. Readstow does not need a connection to let you read.

How offline reading works
  1. 01

    Stored in full

    Everything you save comes down to your phone, so opening it never waits on the network.

  2. 02

    Images on the device

    Pictures are kept with the words. On mobile data they wait for Wi-Fi, unless you open the piece.

  3. 03

    Changes sync later

    Archive and tidy up wherever you are. Your changes catch up the next time you connect.

  4. 04

    No surprises

    If something has not finished downloading, Readstow tells you, and fetches it the moment you are back online.

Where is my data kept?

On your iPhone, and in your account on our server so your library syncs. Our server is in Australia, and each account has a database of its own. We do not sell your data and we do not show ads. Trust and security explains how it is looked after, and the privacy policy has the detail.
