Why people switch to SMRY
More than just another read-it-later app.
Less tuning to read an article
Midnight Lizard is powerful because it exposes many color controls. SMRY is faster when you only want a readable article.
AI comprehension
SMRY adds article summaries, follow-up chat, TTS, highlights, and export instead of stopping at page colors.
Reader cleanup
SMRY removes surrounding page chrome before applying reader themes. Midnight Lizard keeps the original page and changes its colors.
Still complementary
Use Midnight Lizard when color customization is the goal. Use SMRY when article comprehension is the goal.
