readmesto

Readmesto is a cross-platform digital reading management service designed to help individuals discover, organize, and track their reading across devices. The service combines a reading list manager, annotation tools, and progress tracking, enabling users to curate personal libraries that include articles, eBooks, and PDFs.

Key features include customizable reading lists, tagging, highlights, notes, and full-text search; cross-device synchronization; offline access; and integration with online bookstores, libraries, and content sources. Readmesto emphasizes privacy controls and allows users to keep content private or share selected items with others. The platform also provides reading analytics and recommendations based on user activity.

Readmesto operates as a client-server platform with native mobile apps, a web interface, and an API for third-party integrations. User data is stored in the company's cloud, with optional end-to-end encryption for sensitive items and settings. The service supports import and export of bookmarks and annotations in standard formats to facilitate data portability.

Readmesto was launched in 2019 by Readmesto Inc. and subsequently expanded to Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, with a web client. The product follows a freemium pricing model: a basic free tier with limits on storage and features, and paid Pro plans that unlock advanced analytics, offline mode, and priority support.

Educators and readers have cited Readmesto as a practical tool for managing diverse reading materials and tracking progress. Critics have raised concerns about data collection and platform dependence, prompting discussions about privacy and portability in reading apps.
