2.28.1
2026-04-27
We fixed a bug with the camera autofocusing when using the OCR feature.
NEW! Themed Connections — We launched a new experimental feature called Themed Connections. By default, you’ll receive a batch of highlights exploring a specific theme or idea each Saturday. This theme will be unique to your highlights and span multiple sources. Since starting Readwise, we’ve heard from thousands of you that one of the most delightful part of reviewing your highlights is the unexpected connections found across sources. This feature supercharges that process.
Previously:
We fixed a glitch where Chat with Documents could throw a websocket error for some users, as well as a glitch with the manage subscription button.
We launched an integration with Capacities, allowing you to sync all of your highlights to Capacities seamlessly.
We also launched an Apple Notes integration: you can now export your Readwise highlights to Apple Notes (although only from a mac desktop/laptop device).
We also launched new and improved (completely rebuilt) versions of our Notion and Roam exports, that should work a lot more reliably and better data.
Many improvements to the Readwise API, that allows developers to build integrations on top of your Readwise highlights.
We fixed a gnarly issue with the "save highlights via camera" feature where the camera wouldn't focus properly! We also fixed an issue where hitting the "find similar highlights" button, then returning to reviewing your highlights after, would stop saving your review progress. Finally, we've fixed a ton of bugs with the daily review, saving tweets/threads, and more.
You can now Chat with your Highlights! Ask any question about what you've read, find any highlight effortlessly (it's like superpowered search), and find connections across highlights. This is the biggest new feature to Readwise in over a year, though we still intend to extensively improve it and build even more AI-powered features on top of this base :) You can access Chat from the main Review screen in the app.
You'll now also notice a "Find Similar Highlights" button on every highlight you see in Readwise. Hitting this button will quickly pull up semantically related highlights from other books/articles/papers you've highlighted, hopefully sparking unexpected connections. We've wanted to build this feature since we started Readwise 7+ years ago, so excited to share it's finally possible and here :)
We also launched a Readwise MCP server, for chatting with your highlights directly from Claude and other apps.
We upgraded all of the core libraries underlying the Readwise app. This should mean a faster experience with fewer bugs, especially around push notifications.
Readwise now supports exporting your highlights to NotebookLM (via google docs) -- generate an AI podcast from any subset of your highlights.
Fixed a bug where the bottom tray was sitting too low on new iPhones.
Fixed a bug where if you navigate out of the app while doing your Daily Review, you returned to the main screen. You'll now keep your position in the Daily Review.
Shipped a big performance improvement to the backend, which should make most screens (like opening the daily review, loading your highlights, books, etc.) much faster!
Added support for newer devices, such as iPhone 15, and fixed an issue with the Homescreen widget appearance.
And of course, we continue to add many many new features to our Reader app.

Plenty of bug fixes as always, plus a secret new iOS widget feature!
2.0
2020-12-02
Readwise has a new look! From the app, to our website, logo, and everything in between, we've redesigned Readwise to finally look a little more professional and clean.
This should mean pages are easier to browse and sort (like the viewing your books in your library), as well as more pleasant to use every day.
If you have any feedback on the new design, please let us know! We've worked incredibly hard to make sure no functionality from the old design was lost.
The build also introduces the first version of our new Readwise Share Extension, which lets you save text highlights from safari: just highlight some text, use the share menu at the bottom.
Finally, we've included a bunch of small bug fixes and speed ups.

Lots of quality of life improvements in this version!
1. We've added more highlight sources to the app: Medium, Hypothesis, Email Import, and Twitter!
2. Speed: the app should be faster now, and we've added a new loading animation to make it clear when you're waiting rather than stuck.
3. You can now tap a highlight immediately after saving it via camera, to share/tag/favorite it instantly.
4. You can now edit book titles, authors, and page numbers after saving them!
As always, we'd love to hear your feedback at hello@readwise.io :)
