NewA private reading workspace — sharing is optional
Save what you read. Actually read it.
lumenr is a private home for the articles you mean to get to. Save from anywhere, sort them into nested shelves, track your progress, and keep notes no one else will ever see.

What you get
Everything a reading habit needs, nothing it doesn't.
One quiet workspace for the articles you save and the notes you keep about them.
Nested collections
Build an arbitrary tree of shelves — essays inside craft inside writing — instead of one endless list.
A queue that moves
Mark things want-to-read, reading, or finished. Your queue always shows what is actually next.
Search & export
Find anything by title, source, or description, and download a complete JSON copy of your data whenever you like.
Reading history
Every status change is recorded, so you can retrace exactly when you started and finished an article.
Notes only you see
Write private notes beside anything you save. They are never shared, exported to a feed, or surfaced anywhere public.
How it works
Three steps, then out of your way.
Capture the link, give it a home, and read it when you are ready. The app stays quiet in between.
Save a link
Paste a URL, or capture the page you are reading from your browser.
- Paste or bookmarklet
- Extension token
- Automatic metadata
Shelve it
Nest it into a collection, set a status, and let the queue surface it later.

Private by default
Your reading life is not content.
lumenr is a private-first reading workspace, not an engagement machine. Your library and notes stay yours. If you choose, you can publish a collection or share reading activity with followers — sharing is always explicit.
- Notes and saved articles are private by default.
- Share activity or a collection only when you choose.
- One-click JSON export of everything you save.
- No ads, no tracking pixels, no data resale.
