# Quick Start Guide

> Get up and running with Screvi in 5 minutes, from sign-up to your first review

## Step 1: Create Your Account

Go to [app.screvi.com](https://app.screvi.com) and sign up with your email or Google account. You'll get a **14-day free trial**, no credit card required.

## Step 2: Complete Onboarding

After signing up, Screvi walks you through a short onboarding:

1. **Choose your sources**: Select where your highlights come from (Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, etc.)
2. **Pick topics**: Choose topics that interest you to get a curated starter set of highlights
3. **Set review preferences**: Choose when you'd like to receive daily review reminders

## Step 3: Import Your Highlights

Go to the **Integrations** page to import from your primary source:

- **Kindle users**: Install the [Chrome extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/screvi-kindle-and-x-highl/ndlpohihdhnmgdnbmlgpnijmdddefooj), visit [read.amazon.com/notebook](https://read.amazon.com/notebook), and click "Import Highlights"
- **Kobo users**: Connect your Kobo via USB and upload the `KoboReader.sqlite` file from the `.kobo` folder
- **Apple Books users**: Download the Screvi Desktop App and paste your API key
- **PDF readers**: Upload your annotated PDFs directly
- **Readwise users**: Import via CSV or API sync

See the [Sync documentation](/docs) for detailed guides for each source.

## Step 4: Install the Browser Extension (Recommended)

The Chrome/Firefox extension lets you:

- **Auto-sync Kindle highlights** in the background
- **Save any web article** with one click
- **Highlight text on any website** via right-click
- **Import Twitter/X bookmarks**

Install from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/screvi-kindle-and-x-highl/ndlpohihdhnmgdnbmlgpnijmdddefooj). It connects automatically when you log in to the web app.

## Step 5: Download the Mobile App (Optional)

Get the iOS or Android app for:

- On-the-go access to all your highlights
- Physical book scanning (camera OCR)
- Share extension to save articles from any app
- iOS home screen widget with rotating quotes

## Step 6: Start Reviewing

Once you have at least **3 sources and 20 highlights**, the review system activates:

- **In the app**: Go to the Review page and start a review session
- **Via email**: Configure your daily email digest in Preferences (choose time, frequency, and number of highlights)
- **On your phone**: Swipe through highlights in the mobile app's review screen
- **From your home screen**: Add the iOS widget for passive review throughout the day
