Some lines stay with you longer than the book itself. Every line you save means something to you. Revisit later, and it may mean something different. Readmate brings them back. Sync your books, highlights, thoughts, and reading history from WeRead(More platform support coming soon.), and keep the words you once highlighted together on your own bookshelf. Revisit old highlights, find a line you remember, or turn a favorite passage into a card worth sharing.
