About Readwise
Readwise splits its bundle into Reader-only and Highlights-only plans and renames its first app.
Readwise posts a weekly changelog. The October 23 release changes packaging: the original app is now Readwise Highlights, and users can subscribe to Reader or Highlights alone instead of the full bundle, switching plans themselves. The same week adds 38 Lifelike beta voices in 14 languages, rebuilds Daily Review audio on those voices, and makes YouTube transcripts twice as fast without filler words.
