LightYou
Productivity
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Capture articles from Safari in one tap. Highlight, annotate, and let AI answer questions about what you read. Review with spaced repetition. Sync via WebDAV.
LightYou — Your Reading Library, Reimagined
Save every article worth reading. Highlight what matters. Ask AI anything about your library. LightYou turns the web into your personal, searchable knowledge
vault.
▸ SAVE IN ONE TAP
Share from Safari, Twitter, or anywhere on iOS. LightYou extracts the article content — no ads, no clutter, just the words.
▸ BEAUTIFUL READER
Customize font, size, and theme (light, sepia, dark). Reader view strips out distractions so you can focus on what matters.
▸ HIGHLIGHT & ANNOTATE
Select any text to highlight it in three colors. Add private notes. Your highlights become a searchable knowledge base.
▸ AI-POWERED UNDERSTANDING
Chat with any article — ask questions, get summaries, translate passages, or explain difficult concepts. Powered by your choice of OpenAI or Gemini API.
▸ SPACED REPETITION REVIEW
LightYou surfaces articles worth revisiting on a spaced schedule, so the ideas you care about stay with you long-term.
▸ HOME SCREEN WIDGET
A beautiful iOS widget keeps your top review items one glance away — with native dark mode support.
▸ WEBDAV SYNC
Sync articles, highlights, and notes across all your devices via your own WebDAV server. Your data stays yours — no third-party accounts required.
▸ PRIVACY FIRST
All articles stored locally on your device. AI requests use your own API keys. Optional WebDAV sync uses your own server. We never see your data.
▸ OFFLINE READING
Saved articles are cached locally — read anytime, anywhere, with no connection.
▸ BEAUTIFUL IN BOTH LANGUAGES
Full Chinese and English support, with typography that respects each language.
Whether you're a researcher, student, writer, or just a curious reader, LightYou helps you go from "I'll read this later" to actually reading, understanding, and
remembering.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
AI Reading Assistant
Chat with an AI that has actually read your article — ask questions, request explanations, and get answers grounded in the content you're reading.
Smarter Summaries
Completely reworked summarization with a best-practice prompt. Summaries are now longer, more structured, and follow the app language setting.
Images Now Display Correctly
Articles with images — including Chinese blogs and personal sites — now render with full image support in the native reader.
Highlights Improvements
Highlights now support lazy loading for large libraries (thousands of entries), and tapping a highlight navigates directly to that passage in the article.
Cleaner Reader Experience
The reader typography panel has been simplified — only font size, line height, and font style remain. Theme follows the system automatically.
Stats Follow Your Theme
The reading stats bar chart and streak indicator now use your chosen theme color instead of a fixed accent.
Vocabulary Review Fully Localized
The Wordbook review session ("Skip / Hard / Good") is now fully translated in both English and Chinese.
Bug Fixes
• Fixed summary not saving after regeneration
• Fixed reading completion overlay reappearing on re-read
• Fixed assistant chat input showing Android-style focus border
• Removed all paywall logic — AI features included with purchase
