Readwise
Readwise saves and resurfaces highlights from reading, while Reader stores articles, books, PDFs, newsletters, videos, and more.
Readwise collects highlights from books, articles, podcasts, and other sources, then resurfaces them through Daily Review. Users can search, tag, annotate, and export highlights to tools such as Notion and Obsidian.
Reader is the companion reading app for saving and reading articles, PDFs, EPUBs, newsletters, RSS feeds, YouTube videos, and X threads. It also provides AI-assisted reading through Ghostreader, text-to-speech, browser extensions, public APIs, MCP, and a command-line interface. A 30-day trial is available; continued use requires a subscription.
