-This is a new [**React Native**](https://reactnative.dev) project, bootstrapped using [`@react-native-community/cli`](https://github.com/react-native-community/cli).
+# PocketDog
-# Getting Started
+PocketDog is a mobile companion app for [ArchiveBox](https://archivebox.io), designed to let you read your archived articles on the go.
-> **Note**: Make sure you have completed the [Set Up Your Environment](https://reactnative.dev/docs/set-up-your-environment) guide before proceeding.
+## Why PocketDog?
-## Step 1: Start Metro
+I created PocketDog because I wanted an easy way to access and read my ArchiveBox-archived articles from my phone, even when offline. ArchiveBox is great for archiving web content, but there wasn't a simple, mobile-friendly way to browse and read those saved articles—especially the clean, reader-friendly versions generated by Mercury.
-First, you will need to run **Metro**, the JavaScript build tool for React Native.
+PocketDog solves this by connecting to your ArchiveBox instance, downloading the Mercury-processed HTML files, and saving them to your device for offline reading.
-To start the Metro dev server, run the following command from the root of your React Native project:
+## Features
-```sh
-# Using npm
-npm start
+- **Connect to your ArchiveBox instance** (API key required)
+- **Fetch and download archived articles** (Mercury HTML)
+- **Read articles offline** in a clean, mobile-optimized view
+- **Mark articles as read/unread**
+- **Delete individual or all articles** from your device
+- **Simple, modern UI**
-# OR using Yarn
-yarn start
-```
+## How It Works
-## Step 2: Build and run your app
+1. **Configure your ArchiveBox API URL and API key** in the app's Settings.
+2. **Fetch your archive**: The app will connect to your ArchiveBox server, list your archived articles, and download the Mercury HTML files for offline reading.
+3. **Read anywhere**: Browse and read your saved articles, even without an internet connection.
-With Metro running, open a new terminal window/pane from the root of your React Native project, and use one of the following commands to build and run your Android or iOS app:
+## Requirements
-### Android
+- An [ArchiveBox](https://archivebox.io) instance with API access and Mercury content extraction enabled
+- iOS device (tested on iOS; Android support coming soon)
-```sh
-# Using npm
-npm run android
+## Getting Started
-# OR using Yarn
-yarn android
-```
+1. Clone this repo and install dependencies:
+ ```sh
+ yarn install
+ ```
+2. Run on iOS:
+ ```sh
+ cd ios && pod install && cd ..
+ yarn ios
+ ```
+3. Open the app, go to Settings, and enter your ArchiveBox API URL and API key.
+4. Fetch your archive and start reading!
-### iOS
+## Notes
-For iOS, remember to install CocoaPods dependencies (this only needs to be run on first clone or after updating native deps).
+- Only tested on iOS so far. Android support is planned.
+- This app downloads and stores the Mercury-processed HTML files for each article, so you can read them offline.
+- No personal data or API keys are stored in the codebase; all sensitive info is kept on your device only.
-The first time you create a new project, run the Ruby bundler to install CocoaPods itself:
+## License
-```sh
-bundle install
-```
-
-Then, and every time you update your native dependencies, run:
-
-```sh
-bundle exec pod install
-```
-
-For more information, please visit [CocoaPods Getting Started guide](https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html).
-
-```sh
-# Using npm
-npm run ios
-
-# OR using Yarn
-yarn ios
-```
-
-If everything is set up correctly, you should see your new app running in the Android Emulator, iOS Simulator, or your connected device.
-
-This is one way to run your app — you can also build it directly from Android Studio or Xcode.
-
-## Step 3: Modify your app
-
-Now that you have successfully run the app, let's make changes!
-
-Open `App.tsx` in your text editor of choice and make some changes. When you save, your app will automatically update and reflect these changes — this is powered by [Fast Refresh](https://reactnative.dev/docs/fast-refresh).
-
-When you want to forcefully reload, for example to reset the state of your app, you can perform a full reload:
-
-- **Android**: Press the R key twice or select **"Reload"** from the **Dev Menu**, accessed via Ctrl + M (Windows/Linux) or Cmd ⌘ + M (macOS).
-- **iOS**: Press R in iOS Simulator.
-
-## Congratulations! :tada:
-
-You've successfully run and modified your React Native App. :partying_face:
