How it works

Read and highlight

Select text, right-click it and pick a colour. The mark stays on the words.

In short

  • Four colours. Yellow, green, blue, red. Rename them in ⚙ Settings ▸ Appearance.
  • Everywhere you read. PDFs, books, documents, web pages and posts.
  • A tag is a highlight too. The passage takes the tag's colour.

  1. Select some text.
  2. Right-click it.
  3. Choose 🖍 Highlight and a colour. 🧹 Clear highlights on this page removes every mark on that page.
