Features & Capabilities

New name, new look. Clipfile saves the whole article, not just the link — so your reading list works on a plane, with no account and nothing tracking you.

Clipfile is a private, offline-friendly read-later app for people who actually go back and read.

Save any page from Safari, Chrome, or your Mac, then read it later — online or off. Add notes, let it organize itself, and keep everything in sync across your devices without ever creating an account.

SAVE FROM ANYWHERE • A real Safari extension on iPhone and Mac — one tap from the toolbar, and it captures the true article link even on news sites and other pages that fight back • A Chrome extension for the desktop • Or the share sheet, from any app on your phone

READ OFFLINE • Saves the full article body, not just the URL • Read on planes, subways, and dead zones • Article text is end-to-end encrypted — only your devices hold the key

BUILT FOR RESEARCH • Attach notes to anything you save, so you remember why you saved it • Folders suggested automatically within moments of saving — the classifier sees only a link's title and URL, never the article body • Instant local tags — News, Video, Dev, Social, Shopping, Govt — matched from the site itself, without anything leaving your phone • A Home Screen widget for your unread list • A gentle nudge about anything still unread after two weeks • Export everything to JSON or CSV, any time, in one tap

PRIVATE SYNC, NO ACCOUNT • Your list and notes sync across iPhone, Mac, and Chrome using a private key you control • No sign-up, no email address, no profile, no ads, no tracking • Article text is encrypted on your device before it is stored, so the sync service only ever holds ciphertext it cannot read • Your data is never sold

MADE YOURS • Seven themes: Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Dusk, Rose, Midnight, and Parchment
