How to save web articles, newsletters, PDFs, and YouTube videos to your read-it-later library

Overview

Screvi includes a full read-it-later system. Save articles from anywhere and read them in a clean, distraction-free reader with built-in highlighting.

From the Browser Extension (Desktop)

  1. Navigate to any web article
  2. Click the Screvi extension icon in your browser toolbar
  3. A toast notification confirms the save
  4. After saving, you can assign tags directly from the notification

If the page has too little content (less than 50 words extracted), the extension offers a "Save with HTML" fallback that captures the full page content.

From the Mobile App (Share Sheet)

iOS

  1. In Safari, Twitter, Reddit, or any app, tap the Share button
  2. Select Screvi from the share sheet
  3. The article is saved instantly
  4. If you had text selected, it's also saved as a highlight linked to the article

Android

  1. Share any URL from any app
  2. Select Screvi from the share options
  3. The article is saved to your library

From the Web App

  1. Go to the Articles tab
  2. Click Add Article
  3. Paste any URL
  4. The article is fetched and saved

Saving YouTube Videos

  1. With the browser extension installed, go to any YouTube video
  2. Click the "Open in Screvi" button in the video's action bar
  3. The video is saved with its full transcript
  4. In the Screvi reader, highlight transcript passages with preserved timestamps

Saving Newsletters

Each user gets a unique email address (format: save+u_<token>@in.screvi.com).

  1. Find your Screvi email address in Settings or the Articles page
  2. Subscribe to newsletters using this address
  3. Newsletters are automatically saved as articles in your library

What Gets Captured

When saving an article, Screvi extracts:

  • Full article text (cleaned of ads and navigation)
  • Title, author, and publication date
  • Lead image
  • Source URL

For PDFs, the file is stored and available for in-reader viewing. For YouTube videos, the full transcript is captured with timestamps.
