Save articles, blogs, and web pages to read later with Thock.
Thock is a distraction-free reading app designed for people who want to read more and scroll less. When you find an interesting article but don't have time to read it now, use this extension to save it to your Thock
reading list with a single click.
THE PROBLEM WITH BROWSER TABS
We've all been there. You find a fascinating long-form article, an in-depth tutorial, or an important news story, but you're in the middle of something else. So you leave it open in a tab. Then another. And another.
Before you know it, you have 47 tabs open, your browser is sluggish, and you've forgotten why half of them are there.
Bookmarks don't help much either—they become a graveyard of good intentions, an ever-growing list of links you'll "get to eventually" but never do.
A BETTER WAY TO READ
Thock takes a different approach. Instead of accumulating tabs or bookmarks, you build a focused reading list of articles you actually want to read. The extension makes it effortless to add articles to your list, and
the Thock app provides a clean, distraction-free environment to read them.
WHAT THIS EXTENSION DOES
• One-Click Save: Click the Thock icon in your browser toolbar to instantly save the current page to your reading list. No popups, no forms to fill out—just click and it's saved.
• Smart Content Extraction: The extension automatically extracts the article title, author, publication date, and featured image. It captures the main content of the page while filtering out ads, navigation menus, and
other clutter.
• Reading List Integration: Saved articles go directly to your Thock reading list, ready for you to read when you have time. They're synced across all your devices.
• Duplicate Detection: Already saved that article? The extension will let you know, so you don't end up with duplicates cluttering your reading list.
• Works Everywhere: Save articles from news sites, blogs, Medium, Substack, documentation pages, and virtually any website with readable content.
HOW THOCK WORKS
Thock is built around a simple workflow:
1. Discover: Find interesting content while browsing the web
2. Save: Click the extension to add it to your reading list
3. Read: Open Thock when you're ready to read, free from distractions
4. Archive: Move finished articles to your archive for future reference
Your reading list becomes a curated collection of content you've chosen to read, not an overwhelming backlog of random links.
FEATURES OF THE THOCK APP
While this extension focuses on saving content, the full Thock experience includes:
• Distraction-Free Reader: Articles are presented in a clean, customizable reading view. No ads, no pop-ups, no "recommended content" fighting for your attention.
• Multiple Themes: Choose from carefully designed light and dark themes, or customize colors to match your preference.
• Reading Progress: Thock remembers where you left off in each article, so you can pick up right where you stopped.
• RSS Feed Support: Subscribe to your favorite blogs and publications. New articles are automatically added to your inbox.
• Newsletter Integration: Get a unique email address to subscribe to newsletters. They'll appear in Thock alongside your other reading material.
• Keyboard Navigation: Power users can navigate entirely with the keyboard using intuitive shortcuts.
• Highlights & Notes: Mark important passages and add notes as you read. Export your highlights for reference.
• Offline Reading: Downloaded articles are available even without an internet connection (coming soon).

ABOUT THOCK
Thock is built by readers, for readers. We were frustrated with the endless scroll of social media and the constant distraction of the modern web. We wanted a quiet place to read—somewhere we could focus on the words
without being pulled in a dozen different directions.
Thock is that place. It's not about reading more; it's about reading better. Quality over quantity. Focus over fragmentation.
Save an article. Read it later. That's it. That's Thock.
