Unclutter is a modern reader mode and article library for your browser.

intro

Why does it exist?

There many other "reader modes", but they all extract article text and re-render it their own format. Unclutter "unclutters" the original web pages itself, leaving their visual style and interactive elements intact.

Articles you read with Unclutter are automatically saved and can be easily added to your read-it-later queue. Everything happens instantly in your browser.

Other features include:

Try it out for yourself:

install chrome install firefox

The mission of Unclutter is to improve reading on the web. You should decide what, when, and how to read.
