Chrome extension Local-first By Lingyi Labs
Noya turns your X bookmarks into a calm place to finish them — one Today’s read on every new tab, a full reading list when you want it, and a private library with tags on your device.

The problem
You save threads you’ll “read later.” Later never comes. X buries them under a feed designed for the next post — not for finishing the last one you cared about.
Saving is easy. Returning is hard. That’s not a willpower problem — it’s a design problem.
Today’s read
Noya can replace your new tab with a calm ambient home: clock, search, and a single Today’s read from your X bookmarks — not the feed, and not a dump of everything you ever saved.
Default new tab. Turn it off anytime in settings.
I used to ship once a year. Then I forced a 6-week cycle…
Reading list
Open the full open pool: Unread and In progress only. Done items leave this list and stay searchable in your Library with tags intact.
Secondary to Today’s read — press L from the home card.
Noya
Your open bookmarks. Done items leave this list.
Library & tags
Flat tags for the topics you care about —
hiring, essays, to-write. Reading progress
is separate: finishing something doesn’t strip its tags.
Structure when you want it. Silence when you don’t.
Noya
Reader
Open a save in a calm reader: full threads, highlights, private notes, then mark Done. Stay out of the feed long enough to actually finish.
Highlights and notes stay on this device.
I used to ship once a year. Then I forced a 6-week cycle and shipping became non-negotiable.

Local-first
Saves, tags, reading state, highlights, and notes live in a local library on your machine. Export a backup whenever you want. No Noya cloud in v1 — by design.
Privacy you can explain in one sentence.
On your device
Optional cloud later — not required for v1.
Add the Chrome extension. No signup.
Use your existing X session. Bookmarks land in a local reading pool.
Open Today’s read on every new tab. Finish threads without the feed.
New tab shows Today’s read — not a second graveyard of every bookmark.
Organize by topic; track Unread / In progress / Done separately.
Ivory paper, literary type — built to feel like reading, not a dashboard.
Coming next
v1 focuses on X bookmarks and the reading loop. Next up for Western workflows: YouTube and Reddit. We won’t list them as features until they ship.
Noya reads bookmarks through your browser’s X session and keeps your reading data on-device. Read the details on our privacy page — including what permissions we ask for and why.
No. v1 is local-first with optional export/import for backup.
By default, yes — so your queue stays visible. You can turn that off and open Noya from the extension icon.
Your library (notes, highlights, tags, progress) is stored on your device in v1. See Privacy for permissions and X session details.
Not in v1. They’re on the roadmap after X.
Noya is inspired by the same job — help you read what you saved — with inbox triage, tags, and its own design system. Independent product from Lingyi Labs.
Your bookmarks are waiting. Put them in a queue you’ll actually open.
