Capture the note while it is fresh and file it in the same motion.
Most reading notes die in the margins of the book they came from. The value of a note comes from being able to retrieve it later, ideally alongside related notes from other books. That needs only three things: the note itself, where it came from, and a way to search. Anything more elaborate usually becomes its own chore.
Rewriting a passage in your own language forces you to understand it, and makes the note far more useful when you return to it.
A page reference lets you go back to the surrounding context, which is often what you actually needed.
Tags earn their keep when they repeat across books. A single-use tag is just a longer note.
Notes you never revisit are notes you never really took. A monthly skim through your tags is usually enough.
Questions about types, tags, search and exporting.
A highlight is a passage worth remembering, a quote is text you want to reproduce exactly, and a note is your own thinking. Labelling them makes it obvious later which words are the author's and which are yours.
Yes. The search box filters every note by its text, book title and tag at the same time, so you can find a half-remembered idea without knowing which book it came from.
Tags work best as recurring themes rather than one-off labels — things like habits, pricing or leadership. A theme that appears across several books is exactly what you want to be able to pull up.
The export button copies every note as plain text grouped by book, ready to paste into a document, a note-taking app or an email.
