Remember
what you read.
You finish a book and its ideas start slipping away. Afterword keeps your highlights and reflections, and brings them back a few quiet minutes a day, so they stay yours.

Today’s recall is ready
A few ideas from what you’ve read, before they fade.
Your highlights and reflections, kept.
- 01
Bring in your highlights
From Kindle, Readwise, or a photo of the page.
- 02
Reflect on them
Say or type what a line made you think.
- 03
Come back to them
A few quiet minutes a day, so they stay.
Remember it, then reflect on it.
A few minutes, served daily
A short session on a book you’ve read: a recap, the key ideas, the lines you saved. You read. There is nothing to grade.
Say what stuck
Hold the mic and think out loud. Afterword transcribes your reflection and files it with that book’s ideas, so it comes back to you later.
Atomic HabitsJames Clear
Your reflection
“Start tiny. Two minutes, then let it grow. That’s the part I keep forgetting.”
Everything to make a book stick.
Not a vault you fill and forget. A few small surfaces that bring your reading back to you.
The daily session
A few calm minutes on a book you’ve read, once a day. No quizzes, nothing to grade.
Your own edition
Each book you’ve read gets a page of its key ideas, your highlights and your reflections.
Reflections
Speak or type what stuck. It’s filed with that book’s ideas and comes back to you later.
Match practice
A quick pairing game that turns the key ideas into ones you own.
Reading timer and goal
Time your reading and keep a gentle daily goal, at your own pace.
Widgets and Live Activity

Revisit what a book taught you.

Bring in the highlights you saved on Kindle or in Readwise. Afterword files each one under the book it came from, so the lines you marked come back in your sessions. Kept holds every idea, line and note in one place, ready to search.

III. Look in, let not either the proper quality, or the true worth of anything pass thee, before thou hast fully apprehended it.
IV. All substances come soon to their change, and either they shall be resolved by way of exhalation (if so be that all things shall be reunited into one substance), or as others maintain, they shall be scattered and dispersed.
V. The best kind of revenge is, not to become like unto them.
Reading on paper? Scan the page.
Take a photo of the page, tap the first line of the passage and the last, and it is saved as a highlight. Two taps a page, however many pages you marked.
Join the waitlistEvery day you read gets a stamp.
A stamp for every day
Read, or go through your daily session, and the day is stamped, like the date slip in a library book. Watch your run grow in Your reading, or keep your streak on your home screen.
Your year at a glance
Every day you read punches a hole in the card, and longer sessions punch bigger ones. Alongside it: your longest run, your top genres and the authors you quote most.
Longer sessions, bigger holes.
