I built Bookplate because I got tired of watching read-it-later apps die and take everyone's libraries with them. Pocket shut down in 2025. Omnivore got acquired and closed within weeks. Every time, people lost years of saved articles overnight because those libraries lived on a company's server. So Bookplate does the opposite: your library lives on your own device, not a server. There's no account to make and no subscription. You save an article, it's stored locally, you can read it offline, and you can export your entire library to a plain file any time. The whole thing is built on one idea, a service can be shut down, but a file on your device can't. It's free, works on iPhone/Android/computer, installs straight from the browser (no app store), and imports your old Pocket file in one go if you've got one lying around

Bookplate

A reading library you keep — no server to shut down
