Screvi: A Readwise Alternative

If you're like me, you love reading, highlighting, and writing down notes, only to find that most of those insights end up forgotten, or I have no idea where I saved them.

That's why Screvi exists:

It's a system designed to collect all your book highlights and ideas and to turn them into something you'll actually use and learn from.

Your Personal Knowledge Hub

Your reading highlights and ideas deserve to be revisited and reflected upon, not forgotten in your Kindle or notebook.

Screvi takes these highlights and organizes them into one central hub. And then gives you tools to learn from them and export them elsewhere.

Screvi vs Readwise

I've been a fan of Readwise for years. It's a fantastic tool, but its focus has shifted towards their Reader app, and the Readwise 1.0 app has seen little in terms of updates. Its UI/UX feels outdated, the highlight viewing experience is lacking, and the search feature is basic.

If you're an existing Readwise user, you can import all your existing highlights and give Screvi a try, for free.

Also, for a limited time, Screvi is running a lifetime deal, which is perfect for those of you who can't be bothered with yet another subscription.

Note: Screvi is a Readwise 1.0 Alternative (Highlight Manager), not Readwise Reader.

Replace Your Doom Scrolling Habit

Instead of wasting your time scrolling through social media, you can use Screvi's mobile app and read through all your past highlights instead.

The Power of AI Semantic Search

One of Screvi's main features is its semantic search.

Unlike traditional keyword search, semantic search understands the context and meaning behind your queries.

This means you can find highlights based on themes, ideas, or even vague recollections of the content.

For example:

if you're working on a project and you want to pull up all the highlights related to "productivity", you can simply search for "productivity" and Screvi will return all the book highlights, tweets or web highlights you've saved related to it.

Even if they don't directly mention the word "productivity".

Benefits of Semantic Search

• Easy Retrieval: Locate specific highlights even if you don't remember the exact words.
• Connections: Discover links between seemingly unrelated highlights, helping you uncover patterns and insights.
• Retention: By revisiting connected ideas, you're more likely to remember and apply them in your daily life.

Community-Driven Development

One of the unique aspects of Screvi is its community-driven roadmap.

Users have direct input into the app's future. Your feedback shapes what comes next, making Screvi a tool built by the community.

Up next:

• Notion and Obsidian Export: Sync your highlights with your existing second brain system.
