Readwise Reader
Readwise Reader saves, organizes, and helps you read articles, PDFs, ebooks, feeds, videos, and newsletters.
Readwise Reader is a cross-platform reading app for saving and reading web articles, PDFs, EPUBs, email newsletters, RSS feeds, YouTube videos, and X threads. It supports highlighting, annotations, full-text search, offline reading, text-to-speech, and Ghostreader AI features.
It is used by researchers, students, writers, and people managing large reading queues. Reader is bundled with a full Readwise subscription rather than sold as a separate plan; after the 30-day trial, the subscription starts at $9.99 per month billed annually.
