Does Kyurations do highlights?

Yes, and you make them while reading the article in the app, in one of four pens. A highlight or a clipped region attaches to the page you already saved rather than creating a new entry, it stays painted in the article when you come back, clicking it in the panel jumps to it, it links back to the exact words on the source, and it shows on a published list because the quotes you pulled are part of the curation. What there is no version of is Readwise's spaced review.

Is there spaced review of highlights?

No. That is Readwise's strength and there is no equivalent here.

Does Kyurations have a reading view?

Yes. Articles and PDFs open in the app, in its own type, and it remembers where you stopped. Saved through the browser extension, the article is captured from the page you are already signed in to, so a paywalled or login-walled piece arrives whole rather than as a stub. There is no offline mode.

Kyurations vs Readwise Reader

Updated 5 August 2026

The short answer

Readwise Reader is the better tool if reviewing what you highlighted is the whole job, and it costs around $10 a month. Kyurations is free, reads articles and PDFs in the app as well, and is better at turning what you save into a collection someone else can look at. It also captures the article in your own browser rather than fetching it server-side, so a paywalled or login-walled piece arrives whole, and it exposes your collection to Claude and Cursor over MCP. If your saves are research that ends in your own notes, pay for Reader. If your saves are finds that end in a list you send to someone, use Kyurations.
