About Brevier

Brevier opens a web page, reduces it to its text and structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, code, tables, images — and sets it in the reader's typography: a comfortable line length and leading, warm paper in light or dark, four ready-made styles or your own face, size and spacing. No JavaScript runs and no site styles apply. The type is the reader's, not the site's. What it does • Articles, blogs, documentation and long reads come out as clean text. The page's own contents, the feeds it offers and its navigation sit on a shelf at the side. • Long reads remember where you stopped and offer to continue from there. • Every article you read is kept on the phone as your copy: it opens after the site has changed or gone, and "Search what you've read" looks through all of them. • Search from the address bar: words that are not an address go to DuckDuckGo Lite, and the results come back as a list of links. • RSS, Atom and JSON feeds, including feed files and feed:// links. A feed of comments on one page reads as a thread, and so do Hacker News, Lobsters and Discourse forums. • Documentation straight from GitHub and GitLab repositories: type gh:owner/repo. • Tabs, history, bookmarks, find on page, zoom, saving an article as Markdown (with its images, as a zip). • Pages read in the last week open without downloading. • Back and forward return to the place you were reading. • It can be your default browser: links from other apps open in new tabs, and what needs JavaScript or a login goes on to your other browser in one tap. • Check this page: a score from 0 to 100 for how well a page reads without JavaScript, with the reasons. What it does not do • Run JavaScript, apply site styles, keep cookies or log in. • Show ads, count its users or ask for an account. Brevier reports nothing to anyone: it fetches the pages you open and what it takes to read them, and your searches go to DuckDuckGo. Sites assembled entirely by JavaScript do not open. Brevier says so plainly
