What Readeck does
Readeck saves articles as a clean, readable version without ads and tracking scripts, groups them into collections and tags and searches their full text.
Saved pages are kept even when the original disappears. Long reads can be exported as an e-book.
Reading mode without ads and trackers- Collections, tags and highlights in the text
- Full-text search across the archive
- EPUB export for your e-reader
Good to know before the first start. On the first visit you create your account through the setup page.

No. No server, no Docker, no terminal commands. You click start and Readeck runs. Updates are tested on our own instances first and then rolled out.
In your own Readeck instance on servers in Germany and France; bulk storage sits in Frankfurt. Add your own S3 bucket and we back up there daily, encrypted.
Readeck is open source and keeps running on your own server. You fetch the files over a time-limited SFTP access and reach the database with the credentials from the dashboard.
