About this app

Readwise helps you get the most out of what you read by making it fun & easy to revisit your highlights from all your favorite reading platforms in one place.


Quickly synchronize your highlights from Kindle, Apple Books, Instapaper, Pocket, Medium, Goodreads, and even paper books. Then start building a daily review habit using the app and daily email. By reviewing your highlights every day, you'll retain dramatically more and you'll finally stop forgetting all the details from books you just finished!

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 your phone camera)

• 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.

A visiting preacher said he "collects quotes" and recommended Readwise, especially if you read Kindle books. I got home and installed the app and linked my Kindle account and... nothing happened. The navigation is not intuitive at all. All that would have been 3 stars but then I had to find out from another review that there's a subscription to use it. It is in the app description, like the dev said, but buried at the bottom of the excessively long description. Zero free version. Uninstalled.

Outstanding personal knowledge management application. I've been using this app for years and deeply appreciate how easy it is to use. It integrates my laptop, phone, and e-readers (Kobo, Boox, Kindle, etc ) seamlessly, and collects RSS feeds I have selected. I can construct themed collections and share them as I desire. The program allows for verbose custom tagging, annotation, search, and for those who like that sort of thing, LLM ( AI ) integrations. I highly recommend this app.

I was having a number of issues with the scanning feature on the app and after posting about my experience here as a negative review, the company managed to identify and fix the issue. I am grateful for the excellent customer service and I am looking forward to the growth of Readwise!
