What is the Reading List?

The Helperbird Reading list is somewhere to put pages you want to come back to. You save a page while you are on it, and it waits for you in a tidy list rather than in a pile of open tabs.

This page is about getting the list open. For how the list page is laid out, and which of the two popup rows does what, see the Reading list tour.


Who is This For?

This is helpful for:

  • Students collecting sources for an assignment
  • Anyone who finds a long article and would rather read it properly later
  • People who end up with dozens of tabs open
  • Anyone gathering pages to read with Helperbird's reading tools

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner.

Step 2: Find the View Reading List Row

Open All Features at the bottom of the menu and look for View reading list. The list is alphabetical, so that row sits near the bottom.

A second row, Add to reading list, sits near the top. If you are not sure which one you want, see the two reading list rows.

If you save pages often, favourite it so it also appears in Quick Actions, labelled Reading list.


Step 3: Open the List

Click the button on the View reading list row. Your list opens in a new tab.

If you have not saved anything yet, it says No pages saved yet.

Once you have saved some pages, they appear grouped by the day you saved them.
