An add-on tool for publishers that provides advanced functionality, streamlined user experiences, and extensive customization options on JW websites.

It seamlessly blends into JW websites and delivers powerful capabilities that enhance your interaction with articles, publications, and media. Whether you’re reading, searching, watching, or listening, the add‑on helps you stay organized, focused, and productive.
