Readwise Highlighter (Community) is a simple highlight creator extension for your Readwise account. Now you are not restricted by highlight sources Readwise supports syncing from, and can create highlights from any online webpage text you want.
Simply do the following to create a new highlight and send it automatically to your Readwise account:
1. Install extension.
2. Click on extension in the browser bar, enter your Readwise access token (use the link on the extension to get your token), and click save.
3. Highlight any text on any webpage and right click the highlighted area.
4. Select one of the menu options to automatically send the highlighted text to your Readwise account as a highlight.
**Updates**
* Added "Create Highlight" option to edit the attributes of a highlight before sending it to Readwise. The original highlight creation is now labelled "Create Quick Highlight".

- (2022-07-11) Nazar: Hi! Excited to try it out but can't click the "Save" button to save the token. Please fix
- (2022-04-09) Kaelah Butler: Great!!
- (2022-03-13) Rick Powell: Goes far beyond the basic extension in allowing me to easily create tags and notes and also to add an author to blog post highlights. Awesome. However, it often complains that the API key isn't saved but when I open the options, there it is. Usually just clicking Save again fixes it but not always. I would prefer not to have to do this ever, obviously.
- (2022-02-08) Mike Tannenbaum: Excellent app worthy of a 5-start review!! (the only review I've ever done). There's no better way to get your web highlights from almost anywhere into one place (Obsidian, Evernote, etc). Readwise takes care of the middleware integrations, but also provides an excellent tool on its own! This is fantastic.
- (2022-02-03) Arjun Singh: The perfect readwise extension doesnt exis.......
- (2021-12-22) Debbie Jenkins: LOVE this extension, straight into my notion.so database!
- (2021-07-08) Oliver: Fantastic software the Readwise offers. I'd recommend it to everyone who struggles with retention of information that one consumes and forgets in the weeks to come. Seems like a waste of time in the end. This is the solution.

Well this extension don't work. and the office version is: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/readwise-highlighter/jjhefcfhmnkfeepcpnilbbkaadhngkbi - (2022-08-19, v:1.6) Shambhavi Sarasvati: Extention no longer works and it seems developer is not active
I see the same issue of the Access Token not being able to be saved going back to June 2021. So have to assume that the developer has abandoned this extension. - (2022-07-10, v:1.6) Michael Furo: Readwise token does not save.
This looks like a fantastic extension, but does not allow me to try it out. After pasting in the Readwise token and clicking "save" nothing happens. I do get a Chrome notification that says "Your new token has been verified to be valid and saved." However, the extension is not functioning. My browser is: Version 103.0.5060.114 (Official Build) (x86_64). Any help would be great. Thanks - (2022-06-22, v:1.6) Nick Rowlands: Vivaldi's RSS Reader not compatible with Readwise Plugin
Browser: Vivaldi 5.3.2679.58 OS: macOS Version 10.15.7 Readwise Chrome App: 2.8.2 Vivaldi now ships with an RSS Reader built-in https://vivaldi.com/features/feed-reader/ Given I'm logged into Readwise in Vivaldi, When I highlight text, right-click and select "Save Highlight to Readwise" Then a "Failed to save highlight. Are you logged out? Click here to login" notification appears The embedded RSS Reader and Email Client both have the same experience. Would be awesome if I could save highlights from the RSS Reader. - (2022-06-02, v:1.6) Valentin Heyde: installation does not work
Hi, I used your plugin before, and it's great. However, I had to install it new and it does not work. It's not possible to save the readwise token. Have you any idea how to fix this? It would be great being able to use it again. Thank you in advance for your work! Cheers Valentin - (2022-05-22, v:1.5) Jon Mountjoy: Keyboard short instead of right click
Can you please provide a keyboard short option for the extension, so that I don't have to "right click - search a list for 'Save Highlight to Readwise' - click'. - (2022-05-20, v:1.5) Rodrigo Faerman: Cant save token on BRAVE
I've installed the Chrome plugin, but the SAVE button is not working. - (2022-04-09, v:1.5) Jacob Syrytsia: does not save token
in the latest chrome i cannot save a token which kills the whole app, fix it please. - (2021-06-21, v:1.3) Aurora Javiera Zapata-Salazar: Is it safe?
Is it safe use this app? - (2021-06-13, v:1.1) Rick Powell: Token won't save on Vivaldi
