Reader lets you save all of your content to one place: From articles to Twitter threads to PDFs to newsletters to RSS to epubs to... even YouTube! You can then read, search, organize and (of course) highlight everything, with a Reader built for 2023.

Hey PH, cofounder of Readwise here. Very excited to finally be sharing the public beta of Readwise Reader with the world: The main thing that makes Reader unique is that it supports almost any content type you could want to save/read/highlight: * articles ๐Ÿ“ฐ * PDFs ๐Ÿ“Š * emails/newsletters ๐Ÿ“ง * ePubs ๐Ÿ“š * twitter threads ๐Ÿฆ * youtube videos (with transcripts) ๐Ÿ“บ * RSS feeds ๐Ÿ“ƒ Reader helps you get all of your content in one place. We then built a powerful reading and highlight experience, as well as a bunch of novel triage/organization features, so you can actually stay on top of that content! There are also a lot of advanced features such as text-to-speech, GPT3 questions/summaries, super powerful highlighting (that includes markup and images), complex filtering/search (with our own query language), sleek mobile triage UI, keyboard shortcuts for reading/everything, integrations with note-taking apps, much more. There's a lot more to the product and the story behind it, which you can read about in our launch blog post here: https://blog.readwise.io/the-nex... We initially launched Readwise "1.0" on ProductHunt 5(!) years ago, and part of that product was integrating with all these different reading apps: Pocket, Instapaper, Feedly, PDF apps, and more. Our users constantly found problems with these reading apps and asked us to fix them... which ultimately lead to us building Reader! So it's fun to be back here again, where it all started :) Thanks to @chrismessina for hunting us!

@chrismessina @homsit Sounds like Reader is the perfect tool for staying on top of everything I need to read and remember.

@chrismessina @homsit I think this is perfect for someone like me to stay organized. Congratulations on this!
Tomas Ruta
@chrismessina @homsit Awesome, how does it compare to Matter? Already using Readwise's main product btw
Polina Bangert
@chrismessina @homsit that's what I was dreaming about! This will definitely help me save time and sort everything out, thank you!
Gladys Atienza
What an impressive list of features! @chrismessina @homsit Storing everything from articles to YouTube videos with Reader's built-in tools looks like a great way to save time while staying up-to-date on the latest news and information.

Such a big fan of this app โ€” love to see it expanding into a complete multi-format, cross-device read-it-later solution.
Rob Works
Best app of the year imo. Helped me improve my content consumption diet and get rid of the unpractical content hoarding habit. Congrats to the entire team!

I have been using Reader in private beta for the past two weeks and it has completely revolutionized how I consume content. Before, I had a complex system of free and paid services strung together by an overly complex workflow and still couldn't find a good way to annotate and highlight YouTube videos. With Reader, all the content I want in all its different mediums is in one place and I can easily highlight, annotate, and tag it - even YouTube videos! Within a week, I cancelled several subscriptions because Reader does what those services do and much better in several instances. The integration support, text-to-speech, and AI assistant are all just icing on the cake. I highly recommend, and congrats to the team on an awesome product!
Ivo Scherkamp
Super helpful! Just downloaded the app. Just one question: Is it planned to also save podcast episodes to the app anytime soon? Thanks and congrats!
Devon Meadows
@ivo_scherkamp I would love to know the same thing. I listen in Spotify like most people and would love to share an Ep to reader and see a transcript I can highlight or something.
Markquin Johnson
One of my favorite apps that I use daily. The team is great as well!
Nicolai Kollner
Highly recommended

They say the mark of a product is how upset users would be if it ceased to exist. well, I'd be devastated. I use this in a way that I had never used it's predecessors. Such a great tool, well done team.
Aakash Singh
looks Great.

The Readwise Reader is next level, reinventing what is possible with a reader app. I've been using it for a while now, nothing like it on the market. It's where I read almost everything now.
Nunzio Martinello
Best reader app I ever used!
Ekaterina Krupkina
Wow, will certainly give it a try. I have too many books & articles & whatnot scattered across many platforms. Are you planning to allow grouping materials not only by types or genres but also manually by user's preferences?
Maximilian Schulz
@ktchka Yes! Reader allows you to create and save different "viewsโ€ of your content. Those are highly customizable and can be as simple or complex as youโ€™d like them to be. Itโ€™s truly incredible!
Andy Sporring
The most versatile Read It Later app that integrates so well in my workflow. Thank you for letting me be one of your Beta testers that past year, I love Readwise Reader!
Shashank
readwise is just perfect. highly recommended if you're a serious reader. also, Readwise is one of the few constants in my tool stack that i've never thought about replacing, thanks to their amazing focus and pace ๐Ÿš€! congrats guys!
Wojciech Wasniewski
Iโ€™ve been a private beta user for a few months and absolutely LOVE the app! Using it daily and canโ€™t imagine going back to my previous workflow that required about 5 different apps/subscriptions
Jason Crawford
Been using this for a while in private beta! And have been using the main Readwise itself for many years, huge fan. The integration of Readwise highlighting is a great feature. This is a great team and they're iterating very well on Reader. Am enjoying it so far and looking forward to even more product evolution coming.
Ahmed Shoukry
thank you will be possible to import all the articles from pocket not the highlights so readwise may replace it?
Tristan Homsi
@ashoukry yes! The first screen after signing up will let you connect pocket and pull in alll of your articles from there :)

ReadWise Reader is a game-changing app for reading RSS, mailing lists, PDFs, and epubs and noting YouTube videos. @ddoyon thank you so much for the brilliant ideas and realizations.
