Readwise earns raves for making highlights resurface at the right time, helping users actually remember and use what they read. Reviewers praise seamless syncing from Kindle, articles, and newsletters, daily review emails, Notion sync, and the Reader app’s focused workflow and TTS. Power users call it a backbone for knowledge work that reduces overload and sparks writing ideas. Some note rough onboarding and desire deeper integration between Reader and highlights, plus better non‑English notes. Founders of

I’ve started my morning reviewing my Readwise highlights every day for the past (checks app) 1,764 days. According to my phone, I spend an average of 2.5 hours a day (!) in Readwise Reader, where I send everything I’m remotely serious about reading. As a writer by trade and a scholar by training, I’m telling you without exaggeration that Readwise is the single most beneficial tool I have ever encountered for thinking with, period.

I'm SO HAPPY I switched from Pocket years ago. The team behind Readwise are top-notch, especially their Customer Support team. The product continuously gets better and better and I will continue to use Reader for all my reading needs.

Their Reader application is a game-changer. I've gone from never reading saved articles, to listening to them using text-to-speech

My main tool for collecting and organising knowledge. Readwise takes the highlights and notes from your reading and transforms them into a personal knowledge system. By syncing with Kindle, Raindrop.io, articles, and more, it surfaces key insights with daily reminders. I pair it with Raindrop.io to tag first, then refine and retain knowledge seamlessly.

Readwise has dramatically improved my knowledge management system. Learning is easier with Readwise, which implements the concept of spaced repetition. It feels so good to encounter a highlight or note you once saved every once in a while. New ideas are developed from this simple practice, and I encourage everyone, especially knowledge workers to use this app.

I'm a student and product manager in Taiwan. I've been using Readwise Reader for last couple months, and it's 200% improved my reading experience. The entire product puts efforts on solving people's info-consuming-related pain points, such as info overload, distraction, etc, and its first-class UX tackle them in such an elegant manner. However, it'll be great if Reader app can be fully integrated with the highlight feature in original Readwise application, so that I don't have to switch between two platform and prevent from such distraction as a reader. Also, note-taking in Chinese is essential for me but it isn't will supported in the current version. Overall it's a great product, and a bold move as a tech company in current era. Can't wait for future updates!
