See It in Action
The Problem We Solve
Too much clutter on the page? Clean it up. Two tools in one. Select any text to get a simpler version right there. Or hit reader mode to strip away everything except the content.
What Simplify Does
Built with precision to solve real problems without adding complexity.
One-Click Reader Mode
Click the toolbar icon or press Alt+Shift+S to instantly transform cluttered pages into clean, readable articles.
Smart Content Extraction
Custom Readability-style heuristics identify and extract main content, removing ads, nav, sidebars, and clutter.
Three Themes
Choose from Light, Sepia, and Dark themes to match your reading preference and reduce eye strain.
Font Controls
Switch between Serif and Sans fonts. Adjust font size with persisted preferences across sessions.
Selected Text Simplification
Right-click any selected text and choose Simplify to see a side-by-side comparison of original and simplified versions.
Local AI Support
