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.


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 Two Reading List Rows

Open All Features at the bottom of the menu and scroll to Reading list.

There are two rows with this same name, one after the other. The first opens your saved list. The second saves the page you are currently on. Nothing in the row tells you which is which, so go by the order.

Step 3: Open the List

Click the button on the first 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 as a list.

How the List is Organised

Pages are grouped by when you saved them, with the newest first. The headings are Today, Yesterday, This week and This month, and anything older than that is grouped by the month it was saved in, such as August 2026. Each row shows the page title, the website it came from, and the date you saved it.

Next: save a page, open one you saved, search the list or remove a page.

This is a great little extension, lightweight and non intrusive. With dyslexia its reading that's an issue, not the underlying intelligence. An aid such as this one, can help deliver the world to some who may not otherwise have received it. Great Work.
