Saving Articles
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)
- Navigate to any web article
- Click the Screvi extension icon in your browser toolbar
- A toast notification confirms the save
- 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
- In Safari, Twitter, Reddit, or any app, tap the Share button
- Select Screvi from the share sheet
- The article is saved instantly
- If you had text selected, it's also saved as a highlight linked to the article
Android
- Share any URL from any app
- Select Screvi from the share options
- The article is saved to your library
From the Web App
- Go to the Articles tab
- Click Add Article
- Paste any URL
- The article is fetched and saved
Saving YouTube Videos
- With the browser extension installed, go to any YouTube video
- Click the "Open in Screvi" button in the video's action bar
- The video is saved with its full transcript
- 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).
- Find your Screvi email address in Settings or the Articles page
- Subscribe to newsletters using this address
- 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.
