Your library is the central hub for all your reading content. Every article, book, and document you add is saved here with progress tracking, making it easy to pick up where you left off.
Library Overview
The library displays all your reads organized by category:
| Category | Content Type |
|---|
| Articles | Web content, news, blog posts, pasted text |
| Books | EPUBs and longer-form content |
| Documents | PDFs and other document files |
Organizing Reads
Keep your library tidy with these organization features:
- Drag and drop — Reorder items by dragging them to a new position
- Categories — Items are automatically categorized by file type, or you can manually assign categories when editing
- Search — Press
S to filter your library by title, quickly finding what you need
The search filter matches against titles in real-time. Press Escape or clear the search field to show all items again.
Selecting and Editing

Storage and Data
Rapid Reader stores all your content locally on your device. This privacy-first approach means your reading data never leaves your computer.
| Platform | Storage Limit |
|---|
| Web app | ~5MB (browser localStorage) |
| Desktop app | No practical limit |
Your data lives in the browser. Clearing your browser data, cookies, or site storage will permanently delete all your reads and progress. Consider using the desktop app if you have a large library or want more reliable storage.
There is no cloud sync between devices. Each device maintains its own separate library. Export functionality may be added in a future update.
