Problem
Users often encounter articles online that they want to read later, but they lack a quick way to save them across browsers and access them without an internet connection. Switching between devices or dealing with ads and distractions can further hinder a seamless reading experience.
Solution
Links Garden offers a lightweight tool that lets users save web articles with a single tap from any browser. Saved content is synchronized across devices and stored for offline access, allowing reading anytime, even without connectivity. The platform presents articles in a clean, ad‑free interface that removes distractions and supports customizable reading settings such as themes and fonts. Users can highlight text, add notes, and track reading progress, with all data encrypted in transit and at rest. Integration with standard OAuth providers and the Safari share extension streamlines the saving process without requiring additional software.
