Screvi is a highlights manager and read-it-later app that collects what a person reads into one library. It pulls in highlights from Kindle, Kobo and Apple Books, along with articles, newsletters, PDFs, YouTube videos, podcasts and Twitter/X bookmarks. The company describes it as a digital commonplace book, not a complex second brain system, built to be simple and useful from the first day.
The product is organized around four steps: capture, read, remember and apply. Capture gathers highlights from many sources, reading happens inside the app, a daily review resurfaces saved ideas, and search and exports help put them to use. Founder Pedro Araújo says Screvi began as a fix for forgetting ideas from the non-fiction books he read.
Users connect each reading source once, and highlights land in a single library. Kindle imports work through the browser extension, the iOS or Android app, or a My Clippings.txt file, with auto-sync every 24 hours. Kobo uses the KoboReader.sqlite file, and Apple Books syncs through the Screvi desktop app for macOS. Physical books are scanned with the phone camera, and AI OCR digitizes the text.
Articles, newsletters, RSS feeds and YouTube transcripts open in a distraction-free reader with one-tap highlighting. Newsletters arrive through a personal inbox address. DRM-free EPUBs and PDFs open in a built-in reader. Podcasts play in the app, and one tap turns the last 30 seconds into a text highlight, which AI transcribes into a clean quote.
The daily review uses spaced repetition, which the site compares to the approach behind Anki, to bring highlights back at set intervals. Reviews run in the app, by email or through a home screen widget on iOS and Android. A scrollable highlights feed shows recent sources first and lets users revisit favorite authors and key ideas, as a replacement for scrolling social media.
Natural language search finds saved highlights even when the exact words are forgotten. The Claude MCP connection lets Claude search a library by meaning and read the notes and tags attached to highlights. Claude can add or edit highlights only when the user allows it, and access uses OAuth through the Screvi login and can be revoked at any time.
Screvi is a highlights manager and read-it-later app. It collects highlights, articles, newsletters and podcasts in one library and brings them back through a daily spaced-repetition review. The company describes it as a digital commonplace book.

Screvi imports from Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, Goodreads, Readwise, YouTube and Twitter/X. It syncs or exports to Obsidian, Notion (beta), Raycast, Apple Notes, Markdown and PDF, and connects to Claude through an MCP server.
Screvi is available on iOS and Android, as a web app, as browser extensions and as a macOS desktop app. The home screen widget works on both iOS and Android.
The company states that highlights are private to the account and visible to others only if the user shares them. Users can export data in HTML or Markdown and delete their data or account from Settings.
Screvi is best for people who read a lot and want to remember and reuse what they highlight, such as non-fiction readers, writers and note-takers using Obsidian or Notion. It is built around individual libraries.
