You've highlighted hundreds of brilliant ideas. Where are they now? Scattered across paper pages, Kindle files, screenshots, and notes apps you never open. Snip gives them all one home — a calm, beautiful library of everything worth remembering, from every book you've ever loved. No folders to maintain. No system to learn. Just your ideas, always there. ONE PLACE FOR PAPER AND DIGITAL Physical books: photograph a highlighted page and Snip extracts the text in seconds — no typing. Digital books: share from Kindle, Apple Books, or any app, and it's saved before you've turned the page. EFFORTLESSLY ORGANIZED Snip tags every highlight by topic and detects the book automatically. Search by phrase, book, or theme — your library organizes itself while you just keep reading. MORE THAN TEXT Record a voice note on any highlight while the thought is still fresh — capture what it meant to you, not just what it said. Turn any passage into an elegant quote card and share it anywhere. YOUR IDEAS COME BACK TO YOU Every morning, Snip resurfaces one highlight from your own library — as a notification and a home screen widget. Books you read years ago keep speaking to you. Snip is your go-to place for everything you've learned from books. Light to use, built with care, designed for readers. Start your free trial and give your ideas a home. Snip Premium unlocks unlimited highlights, AI-powered tagging, voice notes, and visual quote cards. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings, or via your Apple ID account settings. Privacy Policy: https://snip-it.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://snip-it.app/terms
