As someone who reads a lot on Kindle and also on paper, I was always frustrated by how messy it was to manage highlights—especially the My Clippings.txt file. So I decided to build a simple app for myself, and ended up publishing it in case others find it useful too.

It’s called Book Highlights and it lets you:

• Import highlights from Kindle using My Clippings.txt

• Create and manage your own personal book library

• Add quotes manually or scan them with your phone’s camera

• Sync everything across your Apple devices via iCloud

I tried to keep the interface clean and minimal, just focused on helping readers organize and revisit their favorite quotes. If anyone here gives it a try, I’d love to hear your thoughts or feedback!

I absolutely love the calm, muted design.
