ACTUALLY USE YOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Highlighting is great, but why bother if you're never going to see any of your highlights again? Readwise makes it easy to quickly liberate all your highlights into one place, ensuring that you'll actually see and use them, including highlights from:
• Amazon Kindle
• Apple iBooks
• Instapaper
• Pocket
• Medium
• Goodreads
• Twitter
• Physical Books (using OCR)
• Manual Input
• CSV Upload
STOP FORGETTING WHAT YOU READ
How often do you finish a book, only to forget the key ideas two weeks later? We don't remember things by just reading them once.
Readwise solves this problem using scientifically proven learning techniques called Spaced Repetition and Active Recall. Readwise resurfaces the right highlights at the right times using a daily email and an app. Readwise even makes it possible to convert your best highlights into flashcards for added retention.
TAG, NOTE, SEARCH, AND ORGANIZE
With your highlights all in one place, Readwise enables you to organize and connect these ideas in new ways. Use search to find a highlight instantly; use tag to organize highlights within your library; use notes to add your own annotations.
HIGHLIGHT PAPER BOOKS
Readwise also makes it possible to take highlights from your physical books and papers using your phone’s camera. Just snap a pic, highlight with your finger, and have your favorite highlights saved forever.

What’s New
Version 2.9.0
Fixed a bug where if you navigate out of the app while doing your Daily Review, you returned to the main screen. You'll now keep your position in the Daily Review.
Previously:
Shipped a big performance improvement to the backend, which should make most screens (like opening the daily review, loading your highlights, books, etc.) much faster!
Added support for newer devices, such as iPhone 15, and fixed an issue with the Homescreen widget appearance.
As well, we continue to add many new integrations to Readwise! Recently we added:
* Export to Reflect and Logseq
* A massively updated integration with Kobo for saving your highlights
* Save highlights from Raindrop.io
* and of course, we continue to add many many new features to our Reader app
Ratings and Reviews
Readwise lives us to its name!
If you think of wisdom as arising from the connections you make between bits of knowledge, the Readwise service really does help make me wiser by surfacing knowledge (in the form of otherwise forgotten highlights) and giving me the chance to connect them to present experience.
And the app’s daily highlight review is just perfect for this! Even better it measures streaks, which is motivating for ensuring you check in daily. And sharing your highlights is easy, too: you can easily share them as an image, text or in a weekly email.
And that’s not counting being able to highlight your highlights (because, of course!) or being able to determine which you want to see more or less of. You can even use cloze deletion! And some features are so good they’ve taken over as my primary method: like the OCR which I use for just grabbing text even when I don’t intend to highlight it, or the search which is my primary way to find highlights now, rather than checking in my Kindle. And that’s just a tip of the features!
You can tell that the makers use the app becuase it’s got all these little details only someone who takes highlighting and reading seriously would have thought of. And like the best apps and services, it’s starting to change me: knowing I’ll be seeing my highlights again changes what I highlight.
Can’t wait to see where the app goes from here.
So wonderfully useful
This app is useful out of the box if you have highlights in Kindle or reading pops but it becomes increasingly valuable over time, as you combine it with other apps that you read with and scan in text from books and other physical media. I start my day by reading highlights serves up. Does it make sense to you when you were also love the company’s reader app. But start here.
Primitive app
This app synced to my Kindle where I have over 100 books, each of which I’ve got highlights in. I discovered that the app automatically assumes I want to review highlights in ALL of these books. To prune down to getting highlights from just the one book I want to review I have to manually drag the slider to Never – a slider that really doesn’t want me to slide it and keeps sliding back to Normal so it take several attempts to get it to accept the new setting. This is a primitive set up! I cannot believe I do not have the ability to select the only book I want to study at the moment but instead I have to delete the auto selection for all the others. This is mindless design. Life is too short!
