About Readeck
Readeck collects web content you want to come back to as bookmarks: articles, long reads, photos and videos. You can archive, favorite and label bookmarks, search all saved content, and build dynamic collections. Text can be highlighted, and the highlights from every item can be browsed in one place.
For video links it retrieves the transcript when available, so you can read, highlight and search it like an article. Articles and whole collections can be exported as a single ebook, and a catalog is provided for supported e-readers. A browser extension saves pages while you browse.
