Having access to your articles while commuting, traveling, or relaxing away from your computer is essential. While we offer a desktop Chrome extension, you can also run Send Web to Kindle as a native-like mobile app on your iPhone using a Progressive Web App (PWA).

Mobile now supports single article extraction, allowing you to quickly send a single web article complete with a table of contents by using your mobile.

It is perfect for reading long-form blogs offline (such as Medium, Wikipedia, Dev.to, or LessWrong) and sending newsletters & journalism (from Substack, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and Wired) directly to your Kindle for a distraction-free, e-ink reading experience.

Follow this quick and easy guide to add the app to your Home Screen using Safari or Google Chrome on iOS.
