How it works
Three steps to get started
Choose your format
Click export in any document viewer. Choose JSON for AI tools (includes color definitions, page numbers, and linked highlights) or Markdown for note-taking apps like Obsidian and Notion.
Structured context included
JSON export includes document metadata (title, author), each highlight with its color label, notes, page number, and any linked highlights. AI tools get full context, not a flat text dump.
Or connect directly via MCP
Skip the export step entirely. Connect Claude or ChatGPT via MCP and they read your highlights in real-time. Ask questions, get answers from your actual reading. No copy-paste needed.
Who it's for
Built for how you actually read
Export to Obsidian for study notes
Export highlights as Markdown with color labels as headers. Key concepts under '## Key Concepts', questions under '## Questions'. Paste into your Obsidian vault with wikilinks to other notes.
Feed structured data to AI
Export 40 papers as JSON and give Claude the structured highlight data. It can distinguish methodology from findings from theoretical frameworks because your color labels are preserved.
Build a personal reading database
Export each book's highlights as JSON. Over time, build a searchable archive of every framework, question, and insight from your entire reading history. Feed it to any AI tool whenever you need it.
Frequently asked questions
What export formats are available?+
Highlyt supports JSON export (structured data with color definitions, page numbers, notes, and linked highlights) and Markdown export (formatted text with headers by color type). Both include full document metadata.
Can I export to Obsidian or Notion?+
Yes. Markdown export is designed for note-taking apps. Paste directly into Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, or Roam. Color labels become headers, linked highlights become references you can convert to wikilinks.
What's the difference between export and MCP?+
Export creates a file you download and use manually. MCP gives AI tools real-time access to your highlights without downloading anything. Use export for note-taking apps. Use MCP for Claude and ChatGPT conversations.
