Capture your taste.
Never miss your feed.

A Chrome extension that learns what you love to read, then ranks every new post from authors you follow. Runs entirely in your browser.

Add to Chrome — it's free

No sign-up. Nothing leaves your device.

What you get

✦
Taste profile
Your preferences, stored locally. Learns as you read — sharpens with every like, dislike, and article you finish.
→
Latest reads, one click
Fetch every new post from authors you follow. Ranked by your taste, not by publish time.
✉
Digest in your inbox
A weekly summary of what you'll actually want to read — ranked, filtered, ready.
✕
Remove distractions
Dislike what you skip. PaperWeight flags low-relevance sources so you know what to stop following.
Temporal decay Old signals fade. Your taste reflects what you read recently, not a year ago.
Stays on your device Everything — sources, weights, history — lives in your browser. No server, no account.
Ranked intelligently Articles scored by relevance to your taste, recency, and confidence built from your signals.
🔒
About the install prompt — "Read and change all your data on all websites"
Chrome shows this for any extension that runs on article pages — it's the only way to detect what you're reading and build your taste profile locally. PaperWeight never sends your browsing data anywhere. No server receives it. You can read the full privacy policy or inspect the source yourself.
