Ratdolt

Portable integrations

Your research moves.
Your access stays narrow.

Reader Mode markets Kindle, Instapaper, Pocket and Obsidian as synced tools but documents no account connection for them. Ratdolt exposes the useful file contract directly in the website.

Nothing leaves this tab while you choose and inspect a file. An account write occurs only after a complete preview and an explicit save.

Four honest paths

No extension. No invented provider sync.

01 · Into Ratdolt

Kindle

Local file

Choose My Clippings.txt. Ratdolt groups up to 2,000 highlights and notes into one editable research paper before any account save.

Import clippings
02 · Into Ratdolt

Instapaper

Current exports

Review a full-account CSV as private bookmarks, or bring article highlights from Instapaper's current text, Markdown or HTML export into Research.

03 · Historical migration

Pocket

Service retired

Pocket shut down and its API stopped transacting in 2025. Ratdolt can still recover an export file you already own; it never offers a dead Connect button.

04 · Both ways

Obsidian

Markdown

Import a Markdown note into Research or download complete source-credited Composer research as a normal .md file for any vault.

Open Markdown exchange

Research file

Preview the complete thought.

Up to 2 MB and 2,000,000 characters. Markdown, HTML, text, Ratdolt JSON, ENEX and Kindle clippings are normalized locally, then remain editable before save.

Import research file

Markdown, HTML, text, Ratdolt JSON, Evernote ENEX or Kindle My Clippings.txt. Parsing happens in this browser before account save.

You can inspect an import here. Sign in and connect the database to save it.

Reading list

Move bookmarks before fetching sources.

Instapaper CSV and legacy Pocket HTML/CSV stay in the browser for review. Ratdolt sends only approved URL metadata in bounded batches and spends no publication credit until a source is opened.
