Kindle highlights app · iPhone and Android
Never forget what you read.
Quotabl syncs your Kindle highlights and brings them back to you: a two-minute daily review, a quote on your Home Screen and a reminder when you want one, so the lines you marked stay with you.
“Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.”
“Such as are thy habitual thoughts, such also will be the character of thy mind.”
Most of a book fades in weeks.
In the 1880s Hermann Ebbinghaus measured how fast we forget: steeply in the first days, unless we come back to it. Coming back to what you read, briefly and at the right moments, is what keeps it. That's all Quotabl does.
How it works
Three steps, then it runs itself.
- 01
Bring your highlights in
Connect your Kindle and sign in on Amazon's own page; Quotabl imports your books, highlights and notes, usually in under a minute. Or import My Clippings.txt from a Kindle e-reader, scan a page of a paper book, or paste a passage.
- 02
A few come back each day
The Daily Review shows a few highlights at a time on a spaced schedule. Two minutes. Keep the ones that matter and they return on a growing schedule; see the rest less.
- 03
Keep them where you'll see them
A quote from your own library on your Home and Lock Screen, a new one every few hours. A reminder at the time you pick. And Margo, when you want to talk about what you read.
Features
Everything you highlight, on hand.
Kindle sync
Your Kindle notebook, in one tap
Sign in on Amazon's page (we never see your password). Quotabl reads book titles, highlights and notes from your Kindle notebook, and nothing else. Works with 13 Amazon stores.
Any Kindle e-reader
Import My Clippings.txt
Books you didn't buy on Amazon never show up in its notebook. Their highlights live in My Clippings.txt on your Kindle; import it and Quotabl merges duplicates and keeps your notes.

Questions
Good questions.
What is Quotabl?
Quotabl is an app for iPhone and Android that brings your book highlights back. It syncs your Kindle highlights, then shows you a few each day in a short spaced review, on a Home Screen widget and in reminders, so the passages you marked stay with you instead of fading.
How do my Kindle highlights get into Quotabl?
Tap Connect my Kindle and sign in on Amazon's own page inside the app. Quotabl then reads your Kindle notebook (book titles, highlights and notes) and imports them, usually in under a minute. You can also import the My Clippings.txt file from a Kindle e-reader, scan a page of a paper book with your camera, or type and paste passages.
Does Quotabl see my Amazon password?
No. You sign in on Amazon's own sign-in page, so your password goes to Amazon, not to us. Quotabl only reads your Kindle notebook: titles, highlights and notes.
Which Amazon stores are supported?
Kindle sync works with the Kindle notebook on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, .ca, .com.au, .de, .fr, .es, .it, .nl, .in, .co.jp, .com.br and .com.mx.
Some of my books are missing. Why?
Amazon's notebook only lists books you got from Amazon. Books you added yourself (sideloaded files or documents) don't appear there; their highlights are in My Clippings.txt on your Kindle e-reader, which Quotabl can import. Publishers can also cap how much of a book can be exported, so Amazon may hide some highlights.
What is Margo?
Margo is Quotabl's reading companion, a friendly cat who has read every highlight you saved. Ask her what you keep coming back to, for a recap of a book based on what you highlighted, to quiz you, or what to read next. Her answers cite your own highlights.
I have a partner code. Where do I enter it?
If a café, book club or creator gave you a Quotabl code or link, you get 20% off. If Quotabl is already on your phone, opening their link applies the code. Otherwise install Quotabl and enter the code on the paywall.
Is the widget available on Android?
The Home Screen and Lock Screen widget is on iPhone. Everything else, including Kindle sync, the daily review, reminders, quote cards and Margo, works on both iPhone and Android.
Can I get my highlights out again?
Yes. You can export your whole library as Markdown, one section per book, from the You tab, and share it to any app.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to You and tap Delete account. This permanently deletes your account and every highlight stored with it. Cancel your subscription separately in your App Store or Google Play settings. You can also email info@quotabl.app.
