What is Readwise?

Readwise is a reading and knowledge management tool that collects highlights and annotations from Kindle, Apple Books, Instapaper, and other sources into one searchable library. It resurfaces saved passages through a daily email and app review, using spaced repetition to help readers remember what they read. Users can tag highlights, add notes, and connect ideas across books and articles, and the library syncs with tools like Obsidian and Notion. It is aimed at readers, researchers, and knowledge workers building a personal knowledge base. A free plan and paid subscription are offered.
