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 organizing 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 the 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 colorfully post the selection to social media, send via text and email, or export to Files.

Quick tip: Create collections to group your highlights by, say, books you read for school versus your reading club—or to keep all your self-help quotes in one place.
Meet the creator: Founder and book-lover Damir Štuhec created Highlighted to be an open-ended way to organize and save important passages. “We all read differently and have unique needs,” he says. He designed Highlighted accordingly.
