01
Capture from your browser
Use the Chrome or Firefox extension to prepare a visible article in Reader, or select text and choose Save highlight from the right-click menu.
FavLock Readspace
Keep what you read—and the lines worth returning to.
Save a good article for a quieter moment. Highlight the passages that matter and come back to them alongside your bookmarks and notes.
The Chrome or Firefox extension is required to capture new articles and webpage highlights. Reading saved content works in other supported browsers.
One reading workflow
From an open tab to something you can use later.
02
Encrypt before storage
Protected article and highlight fields are encrypted in your browser before FavLock stores or syncs them.
03
Return with context
Read the saved snapshot, search your highlights, revisit the source, or export the passages you need.
Coming from Pocket?
A private place for the reading you saved in Pocket.
Mozilla shut Pocket down in July 2025 and ended exports in November 2025. If you downloaded your export, FavLock imports its links with your tags and the split between unread and archived saves. Pocket’s export holds links rather than article text, so open the articles you still want and save them to Readspace again.
Saved articles
A readable snapshot, ready when you are.
Reader prepares the article content already visible in Chrome or Firefox. FavLock keeps the title, clean snapshot, source URL, and available citation details so you can read without the original page clutter.
- Open the original source whenever you need it
- Organize articles with collections and tags
- Search titles on every plan and decrypted article text locally with Pro
- Restore manually deleted articles from Trash during your plan’s recovery period
Web highlights
Keep the passage, not just the page.
Choose from four colors, group saved passages by their source page, and search the quote or source in Readspace. Pro adds encrypted annotations for the thought behind the highlight.
- Export one, several, or all highlights
- Choose Markdown, HTML, or JSON
- Optionally show saved marks again on webpages you approve
- Move manual deletions to Trash instead of losing them immediately
Your reading stays protected without hiding the boundaries.
Article titles, snapshots, source URLs, citation details, selected quotes, matching anchors, and annotations are encrypted in your browser. FavLock still processes the account and operational metadata needed to run the service.
Understand the encryption boundaryWebpage marks are optional
Showing a saved highlight on its source page requires website access in Chrome or Firefox. Turn the setting off to remove FavLock’s website permissions.
Readable exports leave encryption
Highlight exports are created locally after unlock, but the downloaded Markdown, HTML, or JSON file is readable. Store it somewhere you trust.

Before you save your next read
Do I need a browser extension?
Yes, the Chrome or Firefox extension is needed to save a new article snapshot or highlight text from a webpage. Once an item is saved, you can open Readspace from a supported modern browser. Browser restrictions and page structure can affect capture and highlight matching.
Does Reader bypass paywalls or subscriptions?
No. Reader works with article content already visible to you. It does not remove a paywall, subscription requirement, or access restriction.
Can FavLock put my highlights back on a webpage?
Yes, when webpage highlight marks are enabled and you grant the extension access to that site. Matching happens in your browser. If a page changes, a saved highlight may no longer match its original position. You can turn the feature off and remove FavLock’s website permissions.
Are highlight exports encrypted?
No. Markdown, HTML, and JSON exports are readable files created locally after your library is unlocked. Store them somewhere you trust.
What happens when I delete an article or highlight?
Manual deletion moves it to Trash. Free includes 7-day recovery and Pro includes 30-day recovery. Delete forever, Trash expiry, account deletion, and automated plan-overage cleanup cannot be recovered.
Give useful reading somewhere to return to.
Open Readspace in your free FavLock library, then connect the Chrome or Firefox extension when you are ready to capture.
