Trace — Fanfiction Library

Trace is a private and secure fanfiction reading library that integrates with AO3 and FFN.

Save AO3, FanFiction.net, and manually added works into one searchable library. Track what you finished, saved for later, dropped, hid, loved, or left halfway through.

• Add supported AO3 and FanFiction.net works while browsing in Safari. • See your saved status directly on supported archive pages. • Track chapter progress automatically as you read. • Pick up from the chapter you left on. • Change reading status from the archive page: Planning, Reading, Paused, Completed, or Dropped. • Hide works from Trace’s browsing overlay and undo in place if you change your mind.

One Library for Your Reading Memory • Save works with reading status, chapter progress, notes, personal tags, and ratings. • Search and filter by fandom, relationship, tag, status, source, rating, and more. • Keep AO3, FanFiction.net, open tabs, browser history, bookmarks, and manually added works from becoming separate piles of memory. • Bring AO3 History, Bookmarks, and Marked for Later into one Trace library.

Remember Why It Mattered • Add private notes, tags, ratings, and context for future-you. • Mark works as planned, reading, paused, completed, or dropped without losing track of them. • Find stories again by the details you actually remember.

Collections, Stats, and Sharing • Group recommendations into shareable collections. • See reading stats and insights about your private library. • Share recommendations as plain text or Markdown using filters, tags, and collections.

Trace is a companion to the archives, not a replacement. You keep reading on AO3 and FanFiction.net; Trace helps you remember your place, status, and notes.

Privacy Trace does not host or mirror story content. The extension reads visible story metadata from supported AO3 and FanFiction.net pages you open so it can save and update your library. It does not ask for AO3 or FanFiction.net passwords, does not request browser cookie permissions, and does not store story text.

Trace is not affiliated with AO3 or FanFiction.net.

Subscriptions unlock Trace Unlimited for expanded limits and premium features. A free tier is available.
