Overview

Features & Capabilities

Stow is an offline reader that feels like scrolling. Save articles, Wikipedia pages and news while you're online, then read them anywhere: on a plane, on the subway, abroad without data, or anywhere with bad signal. Your feed also mixes in moments from your own photo gallery, so scrolling feels like yours.

No account. No sign-up. Your photos never leave your phone.

SAVE ANY ARTICLE TO READ LATER
Share a link to Stow from Chrome or any app, or paste it in. Stow downloads the full article with its images and turns it into a clean, distraction-free page you can read offline. No ads, no pop-ups, no cookie banners. Just the text, in a comfortable reading font.

DOWNLOAD TOPICS FOR OFFLINE READING
Choose what you like, such as Science, Space, History, Travel, Nature or Food, or add your own topic. Stow downloads long reads from Wikipedia and recent news from many sites in one tap, so you have plenty to read with no internet.
• Wikipedia in your phone's language, with English as a fallback
• News from the past seven days, from many different sites
• Choose 3, 5 or 10 articles per topic

MORNING EDITION
Turn it on and Stow fetches fresh articles every night while your phone is charging on Wi-Fi. When you wake up, a new offline edition is waiting, and it doesn't use your mobile data.

YOUR PHOTOS, REDISCOVERED
Stow picks the strongest photos and videos from your gallery and mixes them into your feed between articles. Trips become piles of photos you can flip through, and similar shots become clean collages. Every memory shows when and where it was taken.

STORIES ABOUT THE PLACES YOU'VE BEEN
Stow notices where your photos were taken and finds Wikipedia articles about those places: the landmark, the old town, the mountain you climbed. When you scroll past your trip, the story of that place comes right after it.

MAKE A MEMORY REEL
Turn any trip or day into a short vertical video with smooth motion, ready to share to Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp or anywhere else. Reels are made on your phone, and nothing is uploaded.

MADE FOR SCROLLING, NOT FOR ENDLESS FEEDS
Swipe through full-screen pages like your favourite social app, but everything is already on your phone: chosen by you and readable offline. A calmer alternative to doomscrolling.

SIMPLE AND PRIVATE
• Works offline once articles are downloaded
• No account and no login
• Photos and videos are processed on your phone
• Hide any photo, or see less from an album
• Share or delete photos and videos straight from the feed
• Dark design that's easy on the eyes at night

PERFECT FOR
• Flights, trains and subways
• Travelling abroad without a data plan
• Places with weak or no signal
• Saving data on a limited plan
• Anyone who wants to read more and scroll less

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick a few topics or share a link to Stow
2. Stow downloads everything while you're online
3. Read and scroll anywhere, even in airplane mode
