Frequently Asked Questions
How often do highlights sync?
The sync process needs to be initiated manually through the desktop app. There is no automatic sync like in the Chrome extension.

Yes, Screvi only requests read-only access to your highlights and book metadata. We cannot modify your library or access any other parts of your system.
