Deploy 13ft on your own server.

13ft logo

13ft is a self-hosted paywall bypass and "read it later" style proxy. Paste an article URL and it fetches the page the way a search engine crawler would see it, falling back to Freedium or an archive.org/archive.today snapshot if the direct fetch is blocked. It's fully stateless with no login of its own, so it is protected with HTTP…

Why 13ft

Everything you need, running where you choose.

Get the full 13ft experience with Easypanel handling the repetitive infrastructure work around it.

Crawler-Style Fetching
Requests pages with a search-engine-crawler user agent, which many paywalls leave unblocked for indexing purposes.
Archive Fallbacks
Automatically retries against Freedium, archive.org, and archive.today when the direct fetch fails or hits an anti-bot challenge.
Multi-Language UI
Choose between English, German, French, and Korean.
No Account, No Data Kept
There's no database and no user accounts — the app is fully stateless, so there's nothing to back up or lose.
Multiple Fallback Sources
If the direct crawler-style fetch is blocked, it automatically tries Freedium, then archive.org and archive.today snapshots.
Self-Hosted, No Third-Party Proxy
Requests go straight from your own server instead of through a shared public instance you don't control.
How it works

From template to live app in three steps.
