Saving Articles - Screvi Docs

A Read-It-Later Library with Highlights Built In

Screvi saves articles from anywhere and gives you a clean reader with highlighting. Everything you highlight while reading goes into the same library as your book highlights.

From Your Desktop Browser

Click the Screvi extension icon on any page. A toast confirms the save and lets you add tags on the spot.

If the page is paywalled, blocks bots, or needs JavaScript, Screvi's server may only get part of it. The toast then offers Save from this tab, which captures the article exactly as your browser shows it.

From Your Phone

Tap Share in any app and choose Screvi. On iOS, text you selected in Safari is saved as a highlight on the article. See the iOS and Android guides.

From the Web App

Open Articles, click Add article, and paste a link. The same dialog accepts a PDF file dropped onto it.

Newsletters

Screvi gives you an email address for newsletters. Set it up under Integrations > Newsletter: choose a name and your address becomes save+yourname@in.screvi.com. Subscribe to newsletters with it and each issue lands in your Articles inbox, cleaned of tracking pixels and footer clutter. Details in Newsletter Inbox.

YouTube Videos

Save a video link, or click Open in Screvi on the YouTube page with the extension installed. Screvi fetches the transcript so you can highlight it with timestamps. See YouTube Videos.

Links to posts on X, Bluesky, Threads, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Reddit are handled specially: short posts become highlights, threads become articles. See Social Media Posts.
