About this app

Bento helps you read more by letting you quickly paste snippets from any article you're reading into any note-taking app.

Read 5 times more. Save times more of your reading notes to reference later.

Instructions
1. Select text while reading (in your browser, pdf, etc).
2. "Bento" instead of "Copy" in the selection menu that pops up.
3. Go to your note-taking app, long-press, and select "Paste".

Bento helps you save multiple highlights to a clipboard while you're reading. Then it automatically formats all your highlights so that you can paste it directly into your favorite note-taking app.

No more wasted time switching between apps while reading and taking notes. Just select the text you want and save it to Bento. Once you're doing reading, copy over all your snippets with a single tap.

"Reading on my phone has become such a pleasant experience. I'm reading 2x more and I have every single snippet saved." -Brian Williams

"I now have all my notes from my reading saved. If I ever need to remember anything from that one article I read, I can find it so easily and share that knowledge with others." -Grant McHill

Universally Compatible
Whatever note-taking app you're using, Bento can help you easily copy over your snippets. Not limited to Markdown or Roam.
  • 🧭Roam Research: turn your snippets into blocks

  • 🐘Evernote: automatic newlines between each snippet

  • ✍️Markdown Editors: formatted links with title of article
