On this page
The Android app has the same features as the iOS app: feed, articles, search, sources, review, and every import. Get it on Google Play.
The Tabs
- Home: your highlights feed with filters for type, tag, favorites, and notes
- Articles: read-it-later inbox with Later and Archive, RSS feeds, and podcasts
- Search: semantic search with suggested topics
- Review: swipe through today's cards and keep your streak
- Settings: connections, reader, notifications, theme, and account
Share to Screvi
Tap Share in Chrome, X, Reddit, or any app and pick Screvi. The link is saved to your Articles inbox. Social posts become highlights, threads become articles, and YouTube links are saved with their transcript.
Add a Highlight
Tap + to type or paste a highlight. The toolbar offers a camera and photo picker for paper books (mark the passages, and AI extracts the text), a microphone for dictation, and tags. See Physical Books.
Import Kindle Highlights
Go to Settings > Connections > Kindle, choose your Amazon region, and log in to Amazon in the built-in browser. Screvi imports your notebook. Details in the Kindle guide.
Connections also holds Goodreads, Readwise, newsletters, Notion, file imports, export, and your API key.
Read Offline
Under Settings > Reader > Offline & Sync, turn on Download articles automatically, choose Wi-Fi only if you want, or tap Download now. Cached articles appear in the Offline Library, and highlights you make offline sync when you reconnect.
Review
The Review tab shows today's highlights as cards. Swipe or tap to see a card more or less often, favorite it, or remove it from review. Your streak appears when you finish, and the full calendar is under Settings > Review > Reading Calendar.
Notifications and Theme
- Settings > General > Notifications turns on push reminders for your review schedule.
- Settings > General also has light, dark, and system themes.
