About this app

Readwise Reader is the first read-it-later app built specifically for power readers. If you’ve ever used Instapaper or Pocket, Reader is like those except it’s built for 2023 and brings all your reading into one place including: web articles, email newsletters, RSS feeds, Twitter threads, PDFs, EPUBs and more.

ALL YOUR READING IN ONE PLACE

Stop juggling half a dozen reading apps. Reader brings all of your content into one place including:

• Web articles
• Email newsletters
• RSS feeds
• Twitter threads
• PDFs
• EPUBs


You can even import your existing library from Pocket and Instapaper and RSS feeds from Feedly, Inoreader, Feedbin, etc.

POWERFUL HIGHLIGHTING FOR POWER READERS

We believe that annotations are the key to getting more out of what you read. So we’ve developed highlighting as a first-class feature inside Reader. Highlight images, links, rich text, and more. On any device.


READER WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU READ

We’ve reinvented the digital reading experience to apply the power of software to the printed word. This includes TEXT-TO-SPEECH (listen to any document narrated with the lifelike voice of a real human), GHOSTREADER (your integrated GPT-3 copilot of reading enabling you to ask questions, define terms, simplify complex language, and more), and FULL-TEXT SEARCH (find whatever you’re looking for, even if you only remember a single word).


FLEXIBLE SOFTWARE TO FIT YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS

Your personal interests, your professional projects, your way of doing things — they’re unique. Reader is your home base for the varied documents in your life, customizable to match the way your brain works.

PDFs for work, articles for your newsletter, and ebooks for pleasure all live comfortably side-by-side. No more juggling dozens of apps.


INTEGRATED WITH YOUR FAVORITE TOOLS

Your annotations should flow effortlessly from your reading app into your writing tool of choice. Instead you waste hours reformatting, reorganizing, and repeating. Reader eliminates this hassle. Reader seamlessly connects to Readwise which exports to Obsidian, Notion, Roam Research, Evernote, Logseq, and more


READ ANYWHERE, ANYTIME

Access all of your content from any of your devices with everything in sync. Even offline. Reader syncs across all platforms, including a powerful, local-first web app and iOS. You can even highlight the open web with the Reader browser extensions.

Ratings and reviews

I am having trouble highlighting correctly. I want the highlights to be transferred to Readwise for review later. However, the app keeps on expanding 20+ paragraphs backward. When I delete the mistake, it also deletes my previous highlights. So frustrating. I also hope it auto-transcribe other video sites like vimeo.

It's really fantastic. It's lovely, easy to use, and does a great job of getting me to actually read articles I save, my biggest issue with read it later apps. That being said, the RSS feed feels a bit undercooked. I love the ability to quickly sort through unseen articles, but it's very feature light otherwise in that department. No easy way to read articles from specific RSS feeds or categorize sources, mainly, but it has huge potential and I enjoy using it.

Recent speed update is great! The app actually loads for me now. This a great tool and a very ambitious project. Now that the app is working, it provides incredible value. It helps make reading an active process. Highlighting and note taking and even asking questions about the document with the Ghostreader AI. Great app and I'm looking forward to it's continued development.
