Helps researchers and students save articles for later reading, organize content with tags/collections, and access institutional library e-resources (including paywalled academic content) through a proxy-based authentication system

User installs extension → logs in via MyLOFT web app (app.myloft.xyz/user/login) → browses the web → clicks extension icon to save current article with tags and collection selection → extension communicates with api.myloft.xyz to store the article → user can access saved content offline through the MyLOFT platform. For library e-resources, the extension configures proxy settings to authenticate access to subscribed academic content.

Target users: Academic researchers / University students / Library patrons accessing institutional e-resources / Users who want to organize and read articles later

The extension contains a large bundled file (bundle_myloft.js, 390KB) that was not fully analyzed, which may contain additional features or paid logic
PPA (Pay Per Article) feature details are institutional — whether end-users pay directly or it's institution-funded is unclear from source alone

Monetization

No paid features detected

No extension-level payment, upgrade, subscription, or premium gating found. The 'price' references throughout the code relate to PPA (Pay Per Article) — an institutional feature where organizations manage per-article purchases for academic content (findDoi.js). This is a platform feature tied to the institution's MyLOFT subscription, not a user-facing paid feature within the extension itself. No 'premium', 'billing', 'stripe', or 'upgrade' keywords were found in extension code.

Confidence: 85
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: Needs review
Reason: The extension requires authentication with the MyLOFT service to function. On popup load, browser_action.js checks for a JWT token in localStorage; if absent, the user is redirected to app.myloft.xyz/user/login (lines 87-98). Authentication is cookie-based: the extension listens for a 'myloftTokenCook' cookie from .myloft.xyz domain (service_worker.js lines 200-209). The login button in options also redirects to the MyLOFT web app (options.js line 64). Without a valid token, the save/organize workflow is blocked.
