No. Notes apps store. Kindleaf transforms. The unit isn't a note — it's the journey from highlight to insight. If you just want a place to dump text, anything works. If you want what you read to change you, Kindleaf is built for that.

Yes — about ten minutes per session. That's the point. Active reading takes more time per page and gives you more permanence per idea. Most readers find they read fewer books and remember vastly more.

Kindle, Kobo, and PocketBook are fully supported via file upload. Apple Books works via PDF export. We're adding more sources regularly — the goal is every serious e-reader.

Sparingly, and never to think for you. Kindleaf suggests reflection prompts and surfaces connections — but the rewrite, the question, and the insight are always yours. That's where the value lives.

Yes — export highlights as Markdown, TXT, or CSV. Filter by book, tag, or collection before exporting. Your data is always yours, with no lock-in.

If you read primarily for entertainment and don't want any of it to stay with you — Kindleaf will feel like overhead. It's built for readers who want their reading to compound.
