Freezetab

What Freezetab is

Freezetab saves links, articles, RSS and Atom feeds, and quotes from websites, then gives users ways to organize and find that saved material. Articles can be edited in a rich text editor, content can be highlighted, and full-text search is available. Filters for time period, tags, sites, and data type help narrow a collection. Freezetab is offered as a browser extension, on iOS, and on the web; an iOS or iPadOS shortcut can save links and quotes. The free extension supports offline use and can be used locally without logging in, with data stored on the user’s machine and no connection to Freezetab’s servers. Users can mark saved data private or enable privacy mode for new saves. Pro adds cloud backup, sync across browsers and devices, web access, saving links without the extension, and mobile link saving. Pro costs $2.99 per month after a 7-day free trial. Stripe handles billing information, and Freezetab says it does not store card numbers or security codes on its servers.
