Highlights and reading, resurfaced on a schedule.
Who is Readwise best for?
Readwise is best for heavy readers who want their Kindle and app highlights brought back to them regularly.
Kindle and ebook readers
It pulls highlights from Kindle, Apple Books, Kobo, Instapaper and dozens of other sources into one library you can search.
Remembering what you read
A daily email and in-app review bring back a few past highlights at a time, spaced out so they stick.
Notion and Obsidian users
The full plan exports highlights to Notion, Obsidian, Evernote, Roam, Logseq or Markdown, so they land next to your own notes.
Read-it-later users
The full plan adds Reader, a read-it-later app in the mould of Instapaper or Pocket, so saving and highlighting happen in the same place.
