Save a page to Readwise Reader
This is the official Reader browser extension made by and maintained by the Readwise team.
You use the Reader Highlighter extension to:
• Save articles to Reader – the first ever read-it-later app built 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. You can get started with Reader here.
• Highlight and annotate the open web.
All highlights that you make using this extension will be synced with the Readwise ecosystem and, optionally, to your note-taking app of choice such as Obsidian, Notion, Roam Research, Evernote, Logseq, and more.
_____________________________________________________________
Note: You must have an existing Readwise account to use this extension.
If you are not already a subscriber, you can get a free 30-day trial with no credit card upfront. At the end of the trial, you will not be charged unless you choose to subscribe.

- (2023-11-15) Husam ABBOUD: Please remove the shortcut Alt+R or add an option to the extension to disable or change it, it is used by other sites inside the page operations that even when readwise not allowed for such site still this shortcut active and can't use it on that site
- (2023-11-06) Abi Olvera: The reading and voice-to-text app I've been waiting for. I used to be a Pocket Premium subscriber even though their audio was terrible, kept pausing/freezing. Reader does everything Pocket does and MORE. I love long walks now because I get to listen to my articles the same I listen to my audiobooks. I also manages my highlights and offers AI to summarize articles. It's a Feed reader too - so replaced my Feedly. LOVE.

- (2023-10-13) Aaron G: Outrageously amazing service, great extension which lets you highlight in the context of viewing the actual page! I actually subscribed before my free trial was over because it was so great I wanted to support them more.
- (2023-09-03) Po-Jung Chen: This is an awesome app among all the highlight Apps I've ever used. However, one thing that annoys me is that when the website is in dark mode, I can no longer see the marked text. Please support highlighting text that is in dark mode.
- (2023-08-11) Dan Balcauski: I love Readwise, but their support is atrocious. This extension mysteriously stopped working a couple of months ago and they won't respond to any support requests. It seems like their new company strategy is to focus all their effort on the new Reader platform and give up on the original product.
- (2023-05-17) Eric: Have never had so many good things to say about not just one, but both of their apps. Absolutely worth trying it out for so many reasons.
- (2023-05-12) Ricardo Bustos: Readwise has made my reviews a lot easier
- (2023-05-01) Dmitry Shvetsov: it is an amazing app, 5 starts, love it, even if not everything is smooth. It is all inclusive readers app that replace many outdated, not evolving apps. Readwise team please keep making it even better! Love you!
- (2023-04-09) Kevin Weatherwalks: Love this so much, but did something change recently that affects being able to highlight text on a website and right-clicking to find "highlight and save to Readwise"? That option disappeared for me. Hoping to find it again since it saved a couple clicks.
- (2023-03-06) Maarten van der Hout: Great app and extension!
- (2022-12-19) Jorge Simarro Villar: Definitily, The highlighting extension all we¡ve been waiting for.
- (2022-12-15) Mark Modesti: The option to open in reader gets stuck on asking me to install the extension. I've already done that in Chrome, but when I click to try and move forward it takes me to the extension manager and asks if I want to remove the extension.
- (2022-11-03) Tong WU: Well, I guess this official highlighter extension has some discoverability issue. It doesn't appear in the Chrome web store search results, & the #1 result is the one built by community, which is really confusing.
- (2022-09-13) Ale Vigilante: One of the best tools out there (if not THE best) if you're a professional researcher.
- (2022-07-26) Helen Lee: This web highlighter is EXACTLY what I needed!!! It syncs IMMEDIATELY to my Readwise dashboard - fantastic! 👍
- (2022-02-22) Misho Zghuladze: Absolutely fantastic!
- (2022-01-13) Marijana Minić: A valuable companion on my reading journey throughout the web. Simple and subtle, but effective. Very straightforward. Syncs amazingly with the Readwise app.
- (2021-12-24) Oleg Gavryliuk: Fantastic service and extension. Thank you! Love it!
- (2021-08-27) Julia Walsh: Love the way this simply goes into Readwise and then into wherever I want it to end up - Roam, Obsidian or another.. And even better that it can capture images as well, a feature that is missing from many other highlighter extensions.
- (2021-08-19) Dan Sherburne: Excellent! Highlights directly to Readwise.
- (2021-08-18) Mariano Lizarraga: This is a great highlighting extension that adds so much value to Readwise. As opposed to other web highlighting tools, the text you highlight here gets pulled into Readwise which in turn can be used in all of your note-taking apps like Obsidian (my tool of choice), Roam and others. Thanks for making this available!
- (2021-08-17) Mike Karolow: Simple to use (as it should be). I love that, by directly integrating with Readwise, adding, deleting, and commenting on highlights are directly synced.
- (2021-07-22) Meghan Doyon: This is awesome and replaces so many other apps for me! :)
- (2021-07-22) Tim Skender: Very helpful; love it!
- (2021-07-21) Alexander S: Absolutely fantastic functionality!
- (2021-07-14) Salem Tierce: Love it!
