Glasp
Web and PDF highlighter that builds a searchable library of saved passages, sources and notes.
Meet Glasp
Glasp makes highlights and annotations the entry point to collecting web knowledge. It retains passages with their source context and offers ways to organize, export and revisit them, alongside summaries and other AI-assisted reading features.
Its current official page lists major browser extensions and native iOS and Android apps. Glasp also has a social discovery component, so users seeking a strictly private library should review visibility settings and the paid private-highlighting terms rather than assuming all saved material is private by default.
