Unarchive.today is an offline-first read-it-later mobile application that uses local AI to summarize archived webpages. By natively integrating with archive.today and archive.ph via system share sheets, it prevents link rot and lets you build a permanent digital library.
It is designed to solve the friction of reading archived content on mobile devices. It does not host or modify archived content. Instead, it provides a faster, cleaner, and more accessible way to view publicly available archive links using native rendering and offline local LLMs.
A modern paradigm shift in web preservation vs. traditional read-it-later tools.
Saves only the URL. If the page is deleted, edited, or put behind a paywall, you lose the content (Link Rot).
Requires constant internet connectivity and third-party cloud accounts to sync or parse text. If servers go down, you lose access.
Your reading habits, highlights, and history are uploaded and tracked on third-party remote databases.
Saves the frozen public archive.today/archive.ph snapshot. Your content is immune to link rot, content edits, and paywall changes.
Summarize saved pages offline using on-device mobile LLMs (such as Gemma-2B and Llama-3.2) without cloud APIs.
Privacy-first architecture. All history, folders, and settings reside locally on your device with offline SQLite storage.

Digital information is ephemeral, yet the tools we use to preserve it often feel fragmented. The core mission of Unarchive.today is to eliminate the friction between discovery and archival. For too long, accessing preserved content on mobile required a clunky manual workflow of copying links across multiple applications.
We've re-engineered this process from the ground up. By integrating directly into the system share architecture, Unarchive.today transforms a multi-step hurdle into a single, seamless action. Our goal is to provide a professional-grade tool for researchers, journalists, and power users who demand efficiency, reliability, and precision.
