Readwise Highlights vs Fossilise

Readwise helps you get the most out of what you read by making it fun & easy to revisit your highlights from all your favorite reading platforms in one place. Quickly synchronize your highlights from Kindle, Apple Books, Instapaper, Pocket, Medium, Goodreads, and even paper books. Then start building a daily review habit using the app and daily email. By reviewing your highlights every day, you'll retain dramatically more and you'll finally stop forgetting all the details from books you just finished! --- “Readwise is my favorite new service this year. Save highlights from Kindle, Instapaper, and now tweets... one of the best long-term personal learning tools I’ve come across.” — Caleb Hicks “Besides my Kindle, Readwise has been the most influential tech for improving my reading process.” — Blake Reichmann “If you use Kindle or Instapaper or just enjoy keeping and reading highlights, please sign up to Readwise. It will become one of your cherished services.” — Christopher Galtenberg --- ACTUALLY USE YOUR HIGHLIGHTS Highlighting is great, but why bother if you're never going to see any of your highlights again? Readwise makes it easy to quickly liberate all your highlights into one place, ensuring that you'll actually see and use them, including highlights from: • Amazon Kindle • Apple iBooks • Instapaper • Pocket • Medium • Goodreads • Twitter • Physical Books (using OCR) • Manual Input • CSV Upload STOP FORGETTING WHAT YOU READ How often do you finish a book, only to forget the key ideas two weeks later? We don't remember things by just reading them once. Readwise solves this problem using scientifically proven learning techniques called Spaced Repetition and Active Recall. Readwise resurfaces the right highlights at the right times using a daily email and an app. Readwise even makes it possible to convert your best highlights into flashcards for added retention. TAG, NOTE, SEARCH, AND ORGANIZE With your highlights all in one place, Readwise enables you to organize and connect these ideas in new ways. Use search to find a highlight instantly; use tag to organize highlights within your library; use notes to add your own annotations. HIGHLIGHT PAPER BOOKS Readwise also makes it possible to take highlights from your physical books and papers using your phone’s camera. Just snap a pic, highlight with your finger, and have your favorite highlights saved forever. --- If you are not already a Readwise subscriber, you can get started immediately with a 30-day free trial with no credit card upfront.

Found something odd on the beach and wondered what it is? Take a photo. Fossilise tells you which fossil it most likely is, roughly how old it is and where it sits in deep time. Keep the finds you want in a collection on your device, and see them as a grid, a timeline or a map. Identify a fossil • Take a photo or choose one from your library. Fill the frame, use good light and add a coin for scale. • Up to six fossils in one photo are picked out and numbered. • Results show the common and scientific name, the geological period with its age range in millions of years, the type of fossil, how rare it is, its story and where it lived, where known. • A confidence level (High, Good, Possible or Low) shows how sure the identification is, and "Why this ID" lists the clues it spotted in your photo. • If something might not be a fossil, or the match is a low-confidence guess, Fossilise says so plainly and suggests how to take a better photo. It is set up to look out for common lookalikes such as concretions, pyrite nodules and manganese dendrites. • Matching guide pages, including lookalikes, appear under the result. Your collection • Choose which fossils from a photo to keep. Each find keeps its photo, with a close-up when the fossil can be picked out, and the date and time you added it. • See your finds as a photo grid, as a timeline grouped by geological period from oldest to youngest, or on a map. • Turn on "Save where I found it" and each find keeps the place, such as Lyme Regis, from where you are when you save. Places are saved only on your device. • Search your finds, sort by newest, oldest, name or age, mark favourites and add notes that save as you type. • Share a find as a photo with a short summary. The place is left out on purpose, so your best spots stay yours. Ask about a find • Open a saved find and ask a question, such as how old these fossils usually are, where else they turn up or how to clean one safely. • Answers are short and in plain English. They are written by AI, so check anything important. Chats are not saved. Explore • A guide to 24 fossils, from ammonites, belemnites and fossil sea urchins to shark teeth, trilobites, ichthyosaurs and amber. • Each page covers how to recognise it, when it lived and where it's found, with places to look around the UK, from Lyme Regis and Charmouth to Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. Tap a place to open it in Apple Maps. • A deep time ruler of the 12 geological periods, from the Cambrian to the Quaternary, across about 539 million years. Tap a period to see its key life, the guide fossils from that time and your own finds. • Today shows a fossil of the day, your latest finds and which periods your collection already covers. Daily allowance and offline use • There's a daily allowance of up to 10 scans and 20 questions, and the app shows when it resets. If identifying fails, for example with no connection, the scan isn't counted. • Your collection and the guide's text work offline. Identifying and asking need a connection. No signal on the beach? Take the picture with the Camera app and identify it later from your library. Your privacy • Your finds, photos, notes and places are kept on your device. • The photo you identify is resized, stripped of location data and sent to our server, then on to an AI service, to be identified. Questions you ask go the same way, with the find's name and details. We don't keep the photo or your questions. • No adverts and no analytics. Crash and error reports are sent so bugs can be fixed. • Your collection isn't synced to any server or other device, so deleting the app deletes your finds. Good to know • Identifications come from AI, not an expert, so they can be wrong. • Ages are an estimate for that kind of fossil, not a date for your own specimen. • Works on iPhone and iPad, in light and dark mode, with VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion support.
