Features

Log into your Amazon account through a built-in browser, and Unearthed automatically imports all your books and highlights. Everything is stored locally on your computer.

Unearthed runs a local HTTP API server on a specific port that KOReader can send highlights to.

Note: Both KOReader and Unearthed need to have the same secret token set for the connection to work.

Export all highlights as formatted Markdown files directly into your Obsidian vault.

Export your entire library as CSV files for spreadsheets or other tools. One file per book with columns: Quote, Note, Location, Color, CreatedAt. Auto-incrementing folder names to avoid overwrites.

Subscribe to RSS feeds, browse articles from all your subscriptions, and import them into your local library for highlighting and note-taking. The article list fills the full screen height for comfortable scrolling, and controls are collapsible to maximise reading space.

Imported RSS articles can be opened in an advanced editor with color-coded highlighting and note-taking, just like Kindle highlights.

Home tab: The latest 10 RSS articles are displayed on the Home tab with quick-access actions (view, import, open, hide).

RSS articles containing YouTube links are automatically detected and displayed with an embedded video player. Video transcripts are fetched and injected into the article content when available.

Rate limiting: Transcript fetching retries automatically on rate limits (up to 3 attempts with exponential backoff).

Get a random quote from your library displayed on the dashboard each time you open the app. Optionally append it to your Obsidian daily note.

Search across all books, quotes, and notes using Ctrl+K / Cmd+K.

• Full-text search across titles, authors, content, and notes
• Results grouped by source with match type indicators (title, quote, note)
• Keyboard navigation with arrow keys and Enter
• Click a result to open the book and scroll to the specific quote

View, search, filter, and manage all your sources from the dashboard.

• Search books by title or author
• Filter: All, Active, or Ignored sources
• Toggle ignored status (excluded from Obsidian export)
• Delete individual sources or their quotes
• Batch select and operate on multiple sources
• View all quotes for any source in a detailed modal with color-coded accent bars

Toggle between dark and light themes from the header. Preference is persisted across sessions in settings.

When Keep App Running is enabled, closing the window minimizes to the system tray instead of quitting. The app continues running for auto-sync and API server availability.

Status bar: A compact single-line status bar shows sync activity at a glance, with an expandable log panel for detailed output.

Unearthed Local is designed for keyboard-first navigation with 55+ shortcuts across every part of the app. All shortcuts are completely customisable — remap any shortcut to your preferred key combination in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts. Custom bindings are saved automatically and take effect immediately without restarting.

Press Ctrl/Cmd + / at any time to view the shortcuts help overlay inside the app.

Override the default color hex values in Settings → Quote Colors. Three color modes available: none, background (gradient), text.

Customize how your exports look with template variables in Settings → Template Settings.
