Highlighting an article in the Glasp mobile app Reader
A complete rewrite for iOS & Android

Built native, made for reading on the go

Faster, calmer, and built around your highlights: everything the extension captures, plus everything a phone does best.

Native Reader

A calm place to read & highlight

Save any link into Glasp and read it distraction-free. Select a sentence, tap a color, and it's in your library, with a note while the thought is fresh.

How to do great work

The first step is to decide what to work on. The work you choose needs to have three qualities. It has to be something you have a natural aptitude for, that you have a deep interest in, and that offers scope to do great work.

YouTube

YouTube Summary on the go

Share a video to Glasp and get the key points before it finishes buffering.

"I love Glasp! I use it every time I read online articles. Highlighting with Glasp enforces me to actually read rather than scan through an article. I retain so much more info and can easily revisit my previously read articles to recall details and notes I've made."

I was hooked immediately for the ease of use (highlight directly on the article web page), organized feed, and learning from others' highlights and notes. It makes sticking to learning something so easy and you..."
