Scan book pages with OCR, import Kindle highlights & chat with notes using AI.
Read full description
GleanNote(OCR) is a book notes app for people who read on paper and on Kindle. Scan book pages to capture quotes, import your Kindle highlights, keep reading notes organised by book and chapter, and review them every day with flashcards and a Daily Digest, so you actually remember what you read.
Built for non-fiction readers, students, researchers and anyone who underlines, highlights or writes in the margins.
Scan book pages into notes
• Book scanner with on-device text recognition (OCR): photograph a page from a paperback, hardcover or textbook and turn it into editable text.
• Drag over the exact lines you want to keep, like highlighting on a Kindle, instead of saving the whole page.
• Scan with your camera or pick a page photo from your gallery.
• Scan several pages in one session when you are catching up on a chapter.
• OCR runs on your phone, so scanning works offline.
• Prefer typing? Add a quote or a thought by hand in seconds.
Import Kindle highlights
• Bring in your Kindle highlights and notes from a Kindle notebook export or your My Clippings file, straight from the share sheet.
• Keep Kindle highlights and paperback quotes side by side under the same book, in one reading library.
Organise reading notes by book and chapter
• Add books by title search, ISBN barcode scan or manual entry; covers and details fill in automatically.
• Every quote and highlight is filed under its book and chapter, with room for your own thoughts beside it.
• Reading tracker: mark books as Currently Reading, Completed or To Read, and keep your reading list in one place.
• Use it as a reading journal: add reflections next to the passages that stayed with you.
• Book notes are saved as clean, editable Markdown. Edit or delete them anytime.
Remember what you read
• Daily Digest: three of your own notes each day, picked from across your books so good ideas resurface before you forget them.
• Flashcards from your notes: real questions with short answers, asked in varied ways.
• Spaced repetition: tap "Got it" or "Not yet". Cards you miss come back tomorrow; cards you know return after 3, 7, 14 and 30 days.
• Restart review to see the cards you missed first.
• Build a daily reading streak, with reading reminders at a time you choose.
• Today's digest and flashcards wait for you on the Home screen.
Ask AI about your books
• Talk to your Book: ask questions about a book and get answers grounded in your own notes and highlights, not the open web.
• Ask your library: one question across all your books at once.
• Ask for a chapter summary, its key ideas, or how two ideas connect.
• AI flashcards written from your highlights.
Share and export
• Share a favourite quote as a clean, paper-style insight card.
• Export your whole library to Notion or Obsidian as Markdown files.
• Optional cloud backup and sync to restore your library on a new phone.
Private and offline-first
• Your library lives on your phone in a fast local database and works without internet.
• Scanning and text recognition happen on your device.
• Light, dark or system theme.
• Turn off analytics anytime, and delete your account from Settings.
Who it is for
• Non-fiction readers turning books on business, psychology, history and philosophy into lasting knowledge.
• Students preparing for exams: scan textbooks, capture definitions and review them as flashcards.
• Researchers and writers building a library of quotes for essays and articles.
• Hybrid readers who switch between paper books and Kindle.
