Paper Mode turns bright, noisy webpages into a calm e-ink style reading experience. Unlike simple dark mode or color filters, it gives pages a warm paper background, grayscale media, cleaner text contrast, per-site rules, remembered preferences, and optional Reader Mode. Built for people who read, research, and use the web for long sessions.
Hey Product Hunt!
I built Paper Mode because I spend a lot of time reading on the web, and many pages feel too bright, colorful, or visually busy for long sessions.
I wanted something that felt closer to reading on an e-reader: calmer backgrounds, grayscale media, cleaner contrast, and fewer distractions.
Paper Mode started as a simple e-ink toggle, but it evolved into something more flexible: you can set a default for all websites, choose which sites always use e-ink, exclude sites where you need full color, and fine-tune the reading experience.
Would love to hear where you’d use it most, and what you’d like to see added next. I’ll also keep working on making Paper Mode work better across more websites! :)))
