Your Readwise highlights on Chrome’s new tab.

You highlighted it for a reason. Startwerk brings one of your own Readwise highlights to your new tab every day, with the book and author, so the ideas you saved come back to you.

Rediscover what you’ve read

Readwise collects highlights from books, articles and more. Its daily review brings them back, but only if you open it. Startwerk shows a highlight from that review on your new tab, the same one all day, and links straight to your daily review.

Startwerk only reads from Readwise and never changes anything there. Your access token is stored on your device only, and it’s deleted automatically when you remove the widget.
