- 📦Readwise Highlights updated to version 3.5.2iOSAs part of a cleanup to make our product suite more intuitive, we're renaming this app from Readwise to Readwise Highlights! Nothing other than the name is changing here, you'll just notice a new title on your app homescreen. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
Previously:
We've fixed many of the issues you all have reported in the new Readwise design: from OCR/Camera Highlighting to Mastery cards to Share images to typography issues to frequency tuning and much much more. We also made OCR/camera highlighting much faster. Please keep any feedback you have coming!
We rebuilt the entire app from the ground up: completely refreshed design, smoother animations, and much much faster everywhere.
• Daily Review: redesigned with swipeable cards and a new completion screen
• Capturing highlights: snap a page with your camera, type one in, or just speak it out loud
• Search: completely revamped and much faster
• Ghostreader, Chat with Highlights, and Audio Reviews, all in new (easier to find) homes
• Literally hundreds of bug fixes and small experience improvements
Your account, highlights, streak, and settings carry over automatically.
Themed Connections — We launched a new feature called Themed Connections. By default, you’ll receive a batch of highlights exploring a specific theme or idea each Saturday. This theme will be unique to your highlights and span multiple sources. Since starting Readwise, we’ve heard from thousands of you that one of the most delightful part of reviewing your highlights is the unexpected connections found across sources. This feature supercharges that process.
You can now Chat with your Highlights! Ask any question about what you've read, find any highlight effortlessly (it's like superpowered search), and find connections across highlights. This is the biggest new feature to Readwise in over a year, though we still intend to extensively improve it and build even more AI-powered features on top of this base :) You can access Chat from the main Review screen in the app.
You'll now also notice a "Find Similar Highlights" button on every highlight you see in Readwise. Hitting this button will quickly pull up semantically related highlights from other books/articles/papers you've highlighted, hopefully sparking unexpected connections. We've wanted to build this feature since we started Readwise 7+ years ago, so excited to share it's finally possible and here :)
We also launched a Readwise MCP server, for chatting with your highlights directly from Claude and other apps.
And of course, we continue to add many many new features to our Reader app.

Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

About Readwise Highlights

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!

“Readwise is my favorite new service this year. Save highlights from Kindle, Instapaper, and now tweets... one of the best long-term personal learning tools I’ve come across.” — Caleb Hicks
“Besides my Kindle, Readwise has been the most influential tech for improving my reading process.” — Blake Reichmann
“If you use Kindle or Instapaper or just enjoy keeping and reading highlights, please sign up to Readwise. It will become one of your cherished services.” — Christopher Galtenberg
---
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.

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.
