icon FreeView is a lightweight, ad-free reader for Medium articles. Share a Medium link to FreeView (or paste it into the app) and it opens the full article through the free reader service of your choice - no browser clutter and no login.

Features


How it works

Pick a reader service in Settings. Share or paste a Medium link - or tap a link and choose FreeView - and it rewrites the link for that service and loads the article. You can switch services any time and revisit past reads from History or your saved Bookmarks. Tapping works for Medium articles on any domain (medium.com and custom publication domains alike); FreeView is offered for web links in the system "Open with" chooser.



Note

FreeView is not affiliated with Medium or any of the reader services it opens. It hosts, scrapes, and modifies nothing - it only opens publicly available pages in a WebView. Those services are third-party and outside FreeView's control.


WhatsNew:

Bookmarks: save articles, browse them in a dedicated list, delete with long-press multi-select, and bookmark straight from your History.

Open links directly: tap a Medium link anywhere - on medium.com or a custom publication domain - and choose FreeView (Settings has an "Open Medium links in FreeView" shortcut). FreeView is offered for web links in the system "Open with" chooser.

Reading view: the link field is always available, a loading bar shows progress, and the toolbar adapts while you re

anti Anti-Features:
  • NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
    ⇒ Loads articles through third-party reader and proxy services such as Read-Medium, archive.today and medium-parser, which are non-free network services.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
