How it works
- Text selected: the selection opens in Readly, whatever its length — a paragraph or a whole chapter.
- Nothing selected: Readly fetches the page and pulls out the article, the same way a pasted link works.
- The selected text goes straight from the page to Readly in your browser. It is not sent to our server.
On a phone
Android: open the reader in Chrome and choose Install app (or Add to Home screen). Readly then appears in the share sheet: select text or share a page from any app and pick Readly.
iPhone and iPad: iOS does not let web apps join the share sheet. Copy the text, open Readly and tap Paste text — one tap, no typing.
Some sites block it
A few sites forbid bookmarklets outright with a strict content security policy — GitHub is one. There the button does nothing; copy the text and press ⌘V in Readly instead.
