The problem:
Most note-taking apps aren't built for the reasons people take notes.
When you want to accomplish something, like saving your bookmarks, highlights, or something you clipped from a web page – how does it turn out? In most apps, you end up with a million different documents that look messy and are difficult to navigate. Good luck finding your highlights.
Isn't the entire point of a knowledge management app to manage your knowledge… not lose it?
That's why we created the Library feature.
Library houses all of your highlights, sources, and authors in one place.
You can add a highlight to your documents by typing "/Highlight" in any document and navigating to find the exact one you are looking for.
At the moment, we allow you to integrate with Readwise – the industry standard for saving ideas and highlights from all over the place.
I personally connect Readwise to my Twitter account and Kindle to save my bookmarked tweets and book highlights.
On our roadmap, we plan on adding much more to library including: Article, YouTube video, and image transcription and search. Referencing your sources with AI.
One hidden feature inside Kortex:
You can upload a PDF to your library, highlight it, and open it in a pane (ePub reader is coming soon).
If you already have highlights under that source, it will automatically match your highlights inside the PDF.
So, if you need to reference the PDF while you are writing in a document, you can open it in a pane!
Oh, another thing.
Readwise also has a Reader app that allows you to read any article, newsletter, RSS feed, PDF, ePub, and even YouTube transcripts to highlight from.
It feels good to know that all of your highlights are saved in one singular place to reference later.
If you haven't already, integrate with Readwise and start filling up that library!
