Using LayerGlyph as an Alternative to Readwise / BookNotion

Readwise and BookNotion are convenient options for readers who want to get more out of their Kindle highlights. At the same time, some people would rather manage highlights for free first, without handing the text itself over to an external server.

What LayerGlyph cares about

• Importing Kindle highlights
• Storing everything on your device
• A shelf with reading status
• Book reviews
• Highlight notes

Keeping paid cloud sync separate

In LayerGlyph, Cloud Backup and Cloud Sync are treated as a future Pro feature. The free MVP is not designed to silently store your highlight text in the cloud.

Grow your reading data locally first, and explicitly opt into cloud sync only when you actually need it — that boundary is something we take seriously.
