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 few days in and love the idea and app. Monthly cost could be lower, but maybe it can if it hits bigger critical mass. Will be paying after trial, as it's less than a book a month cost, but likely doubles the effectiveness of reading each book I buy. Random idea to developer. Imagine having users highlight feeds public somehow, and you could choose to intergrate someone else's highlights into your own highlight circulation - I would for people like Bill Gates, Tim Ferris.

Like with any app of this nature I was cautiously optimistic, but I'm surprisingly on a solid 20+ day streak so far. Definitely worth incorporating into a daily routine, esp if you do a lot of reading from different sources.

I've been using Readwise for a few months, and I love it! It’s super handy for keeping all my book highlights in one place. The Daily Review feature is awesome; it sends me daily emails with my best highlights, which really helps me remember key insights.
