Good ideas are easy to forget — and harder to use.
You underline a line that feels important, nod along to a podcast, and a week later it's gone. Even the ideas you remember rarely turn into something you actually do. ReadThatMatters gives each idea a second and third look, then a small, concrete way to try it.
How it works
Capture → Recall → Apply → Reflect
- Step 1
Capture
Add a book, article, or YouTube podcast. Type or paste the lines that matter and add your own note.
- Step 2
Recall
Short review sessions ask you to answer from memory first. Rate how it went and the next review is scheduled for you.
- Step 3
Apply
Turn an idea into a small experiment: what you'll try, why it matters to you, and how you'll know it worked.
- Step 4
Reflect
When you finish or drop an action, write down what happened, what helped, and what you'd change.
What works in the beta
- Add books, articles, pasted text, and YouTube videos (with playback and timestamped highlights).
- Save highlights manually — type them, or paste text or a transcript and select from it.
- Notes, topics, and search across sources and highlights.
- Recall reviews with spaced scheduling and your own questions.
- Actions with status tracking and written outcomes.
- A private account that saves to the cloud, plus Markdown and JSON export.
Not there yet
- No direct Kindle, Readwise, or podcast-app sync — highlights are added by hand.
- No automatic transcript download — paste the transcript yourself.
- AI suggestions aren't connected yet; the app says so instead of guessing.
