About the browser preview
This is an invitation-only, online edition of Page Light. Access is a beta invitation, not a store purchase or a promise of permanent free access.
Your reading data
Settings, collections, history and reading positions stay in this browser, separated by your signed-in account. Signing in does not sync them between devices. Export reading data before clearing website data, changing devices or moving to the iPhone app. Downloads of article contents and images are not included in backups.
Sign-in and privacy
Clerk processes your email address, verification and authentication cookies to manage access. Page Light checks whether your account is approved; reading history and searches are not sent to Clerk. Hosting requests are handled by Vercel. Searches, articles and approved images come directly from Wikimedia. Page Light adds no advertising or analytics.
Signing out retains your local backup data for your next sign-in. A shared device's owner can inspect its browser storage; use your own device for private reading. Browser storage may be cleared by the system.
On an iPhone
Use Safari's Share menu, then Add to Home Screen. Sign in again there if asked. Safari and the Home Screen version can have separate reading data: export and import a backup to move it. An Internet connection is required; bookmarks are not offline downloads.
Access and support
Access may be withdrawn during testing. Online server checks cache an approval for at most 15 seconds. An open visible reader checks periodically and locks on failed checks; background pages lock and recheck when resumed. Data you already downloaded cannot be remotely recalled.
