Knowledge shouldn’t stay buried.

Find a passage without reopening every book.

It’s easy to remember an idea and forget which book it came from. With your highlights in one library, you can search for a few words instead of looking through each book or switching apps.

Import your Kindle and KOReader highlights and keep your notes alongside them in your favourite note taking app.

Daily reflections bring saved highlights back for another look.

Unearthed Local also saves web articles and follows RSS feeds, so new posts from the sites you follow appear alongside your book highlights. Mobile lets you read articles and save passages on your phone.

Keep your short form inspiration in one place.

A thought on a walk, advice from a friend, a useful fact or a random quote. Save it in Unearthed, even if it didn’t come from a book.

Create your own sources and use them as categories. You could make one for “Ideas for work”, another for “Things I’ve learned” and one for “Quotes to remember”. Add entries to whichever source makes sense to you.

Your entries work like book highlights: keep notes alongside them, search them and manage them in the same library. They can also come back in daily reflections, alongside the passages you’ve saved from books, RSS feeds and web articles.

The reflection might bring back something you read, or something you thought of yourself.

Keep your highlights
with the rest of your notes.

Export books and highlights to Obsidian, Craft or Notion,or send a daily reflection to Supernotes. Capacities is coming soon.Each edition connects to a different set of apps:
