Highlighted: Book Highlights
Scan, organise & share quotes
The next time you’re reading a book and come across a quote you love, put down the highlighter and reach for Highlighted.
What we love: Taking notes and organising them is as easy as snapping a pic of your page. The app converts the photo into text and creates a new entry where you can add the page number, tags and notes. And there’s no need to painstakingly add a book’s title, author or other details – before you start scanning, just search for the book and the app fills in all that info for you. The share function under each highlight lets you colourfully post the selection to social media, send via text and email or export to Files.
Quick tip: Select multiple sections within a single photo, then decide later if you want all of those highlights to be organised separately or combined in a single note.
Meet the creator: Highlighted founder Damir Štuhec has always loved reading books, but he had never been able to find a reliable system for annotating and remembering important passages. “We all read differently and have unique needs,” Štuhec says. “I’ve been proactive in asking for user feedback, learning from it and using that knowledge to keep improving the app over time.”
