    SMRY, AI-enhanced open source 12ft.io and removepaywall.com alternative — I was curious about how tools like 12ft.io worked, so I built an open-source tool to bypass paywalls and generate AI summaries of articles…

smry turns the page you're reading into something you can actually finish: a clean reader view, an AI summary, and a quick way to save it for later. What it does - One-click reader view for the current page — no popups, trackers, or layout junk competing with the article. - Optional "Open with summary" action that opens smry with the summary expanded. - Select text on almost any webpage and save the quote directly to your smry highlights, with a subtle confirmation sound when the save is complete. - A small "Get Video Insights" button on YouTube watch pages that opens the video in smry's transcript reader. - Right-click any link to open it in smry instead of loading the original noisy page. - Save the current page to your local smry queue for later reading. - Automatically mirror new and historical X bookmarks into your signed-in smry Library, with a paced background import that pauses while you use X. - Local recent-link history so you can jump back to what you just opened or saved. What it doesn't do - No general background page tracking, and no floating button on the sites you browse. When X bookmark sync is enabled, smry observes only X's bookmark create and bookmark-list requests. Chrome loads a small local Save highlight control on webpages, which reads only text you actively select so it can offer the action; nothing is sent until you click. The only injected button lives on YouTube watch pages. - No remote scripts. All UI code ships inside the extension package. - No accounts required to read or summarize. Keyboard shortcut: Alt+Shift+S opens the current page in smry. Built by the team at smry.ai.

# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome (with Editorial)

Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ffffff;
  --surface: #f3f3f3;
  --foreground: #1d1d1b;
  --muted-foreground: #737373;
  --accent: #a04fe5;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Georgia", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFFFFF (~79%) · Surface #F3F3F3 (~13%) · Text #1D1D1B (~4%) · Muted Text #737373 (~3%) · Accent #A04FE5 (~1%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + Input
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Centered Prompt / Input, Large Hero Product Shot
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + Input hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Light canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + input layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
