Savr
Savr is a free progressive web app for saving online material to read later through a hosted or self-hosted setup. Saved articles and images remain available offline on the device, either in a cleaned reader view or as the original page. Users can store web articles, pasted HTML, Markdown, or plain text, and upload PDFs and images. Content can be added in the app, with a bookmarklet or URL, or shared from an Android browser to the installed PWA. On iOS, the documented method uses a Shortcut that opens Savr in a browser. Collections support favorites, themes, adaptive reading-time estimates, and read-only public copies. Optional summaries work with OpenAI-compatible providers, including Groq, OpenAI, Gemini, and local or custom servers. Optional sync can use Dropbox or Google Drive. Savr says content is local, with no required account or server-side storage. The hosted app collects anonymous usage events by default with an opt-out; self-hosted builds have telemetry off. The free plan costs nothing with no published usage limits.
