About Readwell
Readwise is a service designed to help users retain and organize their reading highlights. It integrates with a wide range of services like Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Instapaper, and Pocket to automatically sync highlights. The core feature is a daily review, delivered via email or in-app, that uses a spaced repetition algorithm to help users memorize key concepts. The platform also allows users to organize highlights with tags, add notes, and export them to other tools. Its public API allows developers to build custom workflows and integrations, primarily for fetching highlights and creating new ones, enabling connections with note-taking apps like Notion, Obsidian, or Roam Research.
