The info view is your control center

Reader mode for focused, offline reading

Reader mode extracts the text and removes distractions. Once fetched, your content can be read offline — perfect for long reads, flights, or commutes.

Tip: Open Reader mode once to fetch the text, then it stays available offline.

Smart Cards surface the details

Smart Cards turn saved links into rich previews. For example, a Yahoo Finance page shows stock performance right in your list — so you can scan and decide without opening every link.
