Notes on the apps
Save to Notion
- It doesn’t use the official API.
- It can read all your Notion data.
- You must add the current page before highlighting.
- You must choose between every page being added as a bookmark, or every page having its full contents added.
- Review by Thomas Frank.
Hypothesis
- No images or bullet points, and line breaks can misbehave.
- Firefox bookmarklet has CORS issues.
- Designed around collaboration.
- On the BASB resources list.
Readwise export to Notion
- Minimal customization.
- Expensive if using only for web highlights.
Official computer app
- Can use a scripting tool like AutoHotkey for a global add note shortcut
Official mobile app
- Widgets allow quick capture of text.
