Your service looks really neat! Is there a way I can use it without the extension? For example, can I paste a url into the website?

I use Safari as my primary browser and am not interested at switching browsers at this time. However I am interested in trying My Screen Break!

Thanks! You can try with a url here (https://demo.myscreenbreak.com/) but we are going to sunset this soon. We may add this within the app, but will create a safari extension as well.

Generally the main reason going through via extension is that we can then provide the service to paid content users have access to and we don't. There are other technical considerations too.

Wow! This is incredible! Having extensions so that users can save content that's behind a paywall makes a ton of sense. As a (hopefully long-term) user of your service, I'd appreciate the ability to do something like this with the non-demo app so I could add articles when using my phone or other devices.

And if you took it a step further I would _love_ some form of API access (even with reasonable usage limits and legal restrictions to personal use only).
