Offline reading

Available onFreeProResearch

Readsira keeps a copy of the articles you opened in the reader on your device. When you lose your connection you can still read them.

How it works​

  • Every time you open an article in the reader while online, Readsira stores its title, address and text on this device. Images are not stored.
  • The device keeps the last 200 items you opened. When it is full, the item you opened longest ago goes first.
  • The copies belong to your account on this device. They are removed when you sign out, and another account on the same browser never sees them.

Steps​

  1. Open some articles while you are online.
  2. When you are offline, Readsira shows a page that says what still works. Press Open offline items. The button shows only when something is stored.
  3. The list Offline items shows the items, newest first, with the site and when you opened them. Press one to read the copy from your device. A note at the top says when the copy was saved.
  4. If you open an item that is not on the device, the page says it is not saved here. Open it again when you are online.

Tips​

  • Search, Ask, projects and saving new links need a connection.
  • The page you were on comes back by itself when the connection returns; you do not need to reload.
