Overview

Analog Reader strips ads, banners, popups and sidebars off the page and shows only the article — beautifully typeset, in themes that feel like real analog media instead of a sterile "dark/light" switch.

Bring back the quiet, warm glow of reading.

FREE THEMES
• Warm Evening — cream paper and low contrast, like a lamp under a shade
• Dark Night — a gentle dark theme that is easy on the eyes
• Old Book — classic book antiqua on aged paper
• 90s Newspaper — a full newsprint experience: masthead with today's date, drop caps, justified columns, halftone paper

MORE ATMOSPHERES
• Samizdat — underground typewriter copy, with a "fresh imprint" mode
• Terminal — green phosphor CRT with scanlines (switchable to amber)
• VHS — chromatic aberration, tape noise and a VCR overlay
• Scriptorium — illuminated manuscript with a gilded drop cap
• Mono no Aware — meditative Japanese minimalism
• Lightbox — an archivist's light table, cold or amber
• Grid Hour — strict Swiss typography with a single red accent

A READER THAT FEELS ALIVE
• Reading comfort presets: line height, column width and letter spacing tuned in one click — with a separate preset for Cyrillic text
• Evening glow: free themes warm up on their own as the evening comes
• Resume where you left off, with a subtle progress ribbon
• Paragraph focus mode: the current paragraph stays bright, the rest dims
• Auto table of contents for long reads
• Quote cards: select a phrase and export a beautiful 1080×1080 PNG in the style of your current theme
• Quiet interface sounds (off by default)
• Interface in English, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No analytics. No network requests at all — fonts, textures and sounds are bundled inside. Your settings and reading positions never leave your device. The extension only touches a page when you click its icon.

Keyboard shortcut: Alt+Shift+R.

Return the web to silence.
