Warning:

This is abandoned, full of bugs, doesn't cope with modern websites, is broken in various ways, may not work on new android versions. I highly recommend using something else: e.g. chrome-based browsers now have offline-page-saving functionality.

The version on the Play Store is even older and more abandoned (I didn't upload it...), don't use that either.

Save For Offline

Save For Offline is an Android app for saving full webpages for offline reading, with lots of features and options.

In you web browser select 'Share', and then 'Save For Offline'

Features

• Saves real HTML files which can be opened in other apps / devices

• Download & save entire web pages with all assets for offline reading & viewing

• Save HTML files in a custom directory

• Save in the background, no need to wait for it to finish saving

• Night mode, with both a dark theme, and can invert colors when viewing pages (White becomes black and vice-versa).

• User agent change, allows to save either desktop or mobile version of pages

About

Known bugs:

• (Device / Android version specific) Thumbnails of saved pages don't show up in the list - this can't be fixed, as it's a bug / limitation in the underlying Android WebView component.

• Sometimes does not save stylesheets or other assets - the only problematic site I know of is Wikipedia, where stylesheets (CSS) don't get saved properly, but is otherwise OK - Still trying to figure out why.

• Occasionally fails when it encounters a redirect - also trying to figure out why.

• If there are multiple image or asset references on the page pointing to the same URL, but that URL delivers a something different each time, only the first version of the asset will be saved. Maybe this is also the cause of the Wikipedia issue. - Can't really figure out a good way to fix this.

• Other, occasional, random crashes.

If you can fix any of these issues, please do submit a PR!

Roadmap:

• General stability and reliability fixes.

• Import / export feature.

• Code cleanup and refactoring.

• Externalize strings - translations.

• FuzzyDateFormatter

• GetMeThatPage (not anymore)
