Stash for Chrome
Everything worth reading, in one calm place.
Save any article with one click from your browser, then read it later: clean, offline, and free of clutter. Articles, newsletters, and PDFs, all in one quiet library. No account, no servers, no subscription.
No account, no subscription. Coming soon to the Chrome Web Store, with an iPhone companion to follow.
A closer look
Your reading list, and a place to actually read it.
One library for everything you saved. One reading surface built for comfort: a serif measure at a sensible width, a quiet progress bar, text sized to your eyes.
What it does
Built to be read, not managed.
One unified library
Articles, newsletters, EPUBs, and PDFs sit together in one list. Type badges, a source, an estimated read time, and a dot for what you haven't read yet.
A distraction-free reader
Saved pages are stripped to the words: a serif body at a comfortable measure, generous spacing, and nothing in the margins fighting for your attention.
Private, and yours
Your reading stays in your browser, with nothing routed through our servers. No sign-up, no separate password, no account to manage.
Pick up where you left off
A quiet progress bar tracks how far you've read. Mark an item read with one tap, and your place is kept on every device.
Sized to your eyes
Step the text up or down to a size that's actually comfortable. Light and dark follow your system, so reading at night stays easy.
Highlight what matters
Tap a paragraph to highlight the line worth keeping. Your highlights stay with the piece, saved right alongside your library.
Save from anywhere
Click the Stash button on any page, or press the keyboard shortcut, and the clean article is saved. Drop in PDFs too. It's on your shelf in seconds.
Filter by type
Just want the long reads, the newsletters, or the books? One tap filters your shelf, so the right thing for this moment is always close.
Private by default
No account, no tracking, no analytics. What you read is your business. Stash keeps it that way because it never sees it in the first place.
Why Stash
Yours to keep.
Two of the best-loved reading apps shut down in the last two years, and their users learned the hard way what it means to keep a library on someone else's servers. Stash is built the other way around. You pay once, the app is yours, and the things you save live on your own device. If we ever stepped away, your shelf would still be right where you left it.
- Pay once, own it. A single purchase, no monthly bill, no renewal you forgot about.
- No account, ever. No email, no password, no profile. You just open it and read.
- Your library stays with you. Saved pages and files sync through your account, not our servers.
- It won't vanish on you. Because your library is yours to keep and export, it outlasts any one app.
- Calm on purpose. No feed, no streaks, no badges nagging you. Just the next good read.
The honest math
Read for years, not by the month.
Most read-it-later apps now charge every month, and your library lives or dies with the subscription. Stash asks for one payment and then gets out of the way.
- ×An account and password to manage
- ×Your library sits on their servers
- ×Stop paying, lose access
- ×If they shut down, it goes with them
- ✓No account, nothing to sign in to
- ✓Your library stays on your device
- ✓Buy it once, read for as long as you like
- ✓Articles, newsletters, EPUBs, and PDFs in one place
Questions
Good to know.
What happens to my library if Stash goes away?
It stays with you. Everything you save lives on your own device, so your articles, EPUBs, and PDFs are yours whether or not the app is still around. You are never renting access to your own reading.
Is it really a one-time purchase?
Yes. One payment of $9.99 and the app is yours, on iPhone and iPad, under your Apple ID. There is no subscription and no monthly fee.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no email, and no password. Stash saves everything locally on your device, so there's nothing to sign into and it works the moment you open it.
Does my reading sync across devices?
On each device, your reading is saved locally and privately. Private cross-device sync, desktop to iPhone, is on the way, and it will stay account-free.
Can it really read EPUBs and PDFs, not just articles?
Yes. Web articles and newsletters are saved and cleaned for reading, and EPUB and PDF files can be added straight from your device. They all sit on one shelf and open in the same calm reader.
Which devices does it run on?
Chrome on your computer to start, with an iPhone app to follow. Everything works offline, and there's no account to set up.
Is my reading private?
Completely. Stash has no servers of its own, no analytics, and no trackers. What you save and read never passes through us, because there is no us in the middle to pass through.
