Readwise Reader is the modern read-it-later app built for people who take reading seriously. If you've used Instapaper or Pocket, think of Reader as their smarter, more powerful evolution. From web content to EPUBs, RSS feeds to Twitter threads, Reader centralizes your reading life—and supercharges it with advanced features designed for deep thinkers, researchers, and lifelong learners.
All Your Reading in One Place
Say goodbye to switching between tabs and apps. Reader pulls together:
· Web articles
· Email newsletters
· Twitter threads
· RSS feeds
· PDFs
· EPUBs
You can even import from Instapaper, Pocket, Feedly, and more—so your existing library stays intact.
Powerful Highlighting & Annotation
Highlight anything—text, images, links—with precision. Reader treats annotation as a core experience, helping you retain more, think deeper, and easily export your insights into your favorite tools.
Built for Smart Reading
Reader includes powerful features to make comprehension and recall easier:
· Text-to-Speech: Listen to any content with lifelike narration
· Ghostreader (AI Copilot): Ask questions, simplify complex language, or define terms instantly
· Full-Text Search: Find any highlight, article, or quote—even from a single remembered word
