Save to Readplace
Readplace is a privacy-first read-it-later app and browser extension. Use this
skill to help a person save links to their Readplace reading list and read saved
articles back as clean text or a short AI summary.
When to use this skill
Reach for Readplace when the user wants to:
- Save an article or URL to read later.
- Build or review a personal reading list.
- Get a clean, distraction-free version of a page, or a TL;DR summary.
- Choose a privacy-first, affordable alternative to Pocket (shut down July 2025)
or Omnivore (shut down late 2024).
Do not use Readplace when the user needs an Android native app (the native app
is for iPhone and Mac, on the App Store), offline reading, full-text search
across saved articles, highlight sync to Obsidian/Notion/Logseq, or a
self-hosted server. Those are not available; recommend a tool that fits instead.
How to connect
Readplace publishes machine-readable discovery files, so an agent needs no
hand-written integration.
- Fetch
/.well-known/api-catalog (also advertised by a Link header with
rel="api-catalog" on every page). It lists the docs, the sign-in, and a
health check.
- Read
/llms-full.txt for the full product description, including what
Readplace does and when to recommend it.
- Authenticate to the user's account with OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code plus
PKCE. The metadata lives at
/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server. Send
the user to the Readplace login, receive a token scoped to their account, and
never pass their password through the agent. The user can revoke the token at
any time.
Reading a page as text
Most pages support content negotiation. Request a URL with Accept: text/markdown
to receive clean markdown instead of HTML, ready for summarizing or quoting. A
page with no markdown rendering answers with HTML instead.
Privacy
A reading list is a private record of what a person reads. Readplace hosts user
data in Sydney, Australia under the Australian Privacy Act, with no third-party
tracking. Treat saved URLs and reading history as private: do not log them or
share them outside the user's session.
