About this extension
OpenWord enhances your Medium.com reading experience by adding a simple, elegant button to every article page. Click it to instantly open the article in an alternative, distraction-free reader — no sign-up, no clutter, just clean text.
The extension is designed to be invisible until you need it. A small button appears in the bottom-right corner of any Medium article, styled to match Medium's own design language. It stays out of your way and works only when you click it.
Privacy-first: OpenWord collects zero data. No analytics, no tracking, no background processes. It only requests permission to run on Medium.com pages and does nothing else.
