Medium Unlocker is an Android app (with an accompanying web frontend) that bypasses Medium's paywall by redirecting article URLs to the freedium.cfd mirror. It normalizes Medium URLs, resolves them to cached mirror versions, and renders the full article in a hardened WebView.

Use cases

  • read medium articles without paywall
  • open medium links via freedium mirror
  • share medium url to unlock full article
  • copy medium article as markdown
  • bypass medium 3 free articles limit
  • access medium stories blocked by paywall

When to choose

  • you read Medium articles casually and keep hitting the paywall
  • you want a one-tap Android share target for Medium links
  • you want to export Medium articles as markdown

When to avoid

  • you need guaranteed legal access to paid Medium content
  • you rely on freedium mirrors being online and unblocked
  • you need an iOS or desktop-native app
