Highlight & Annotate Articles

Save what matters as you read. Highlight passages in 5 colors, add your own notes, and export everything to your favorite tools. SMRY turns passive reading into active research.

Highlight in 5 colors

Organize your highlights by topic, importance, or however you like. SMRY gives you 5 distinct colors to build your own system. Mark key findings in one color, questions in another, and action items in a third. Your reading becomes structured without extra effort.

Add notes to any passage

Select any text, highlight it, and add your thoughts right there. Capture your reactions, connections to other ideas, or follow-up questions while they are fresh. Come back later and your notes are waiting exactly where you left them.

Syncs across devices

Pro users get cross-device sync of all highlights and annotations. Read and highlight on your laptop during the day, then review your notes on your phone during your commute. Everything stays in sync automatically.

Export anywhere

Your highlights and notes belong to you. Export them to Notion, Obsidian, Roam, Markdown, or JSON. Integrate SMRY into your existing knowledge management workflow without any lock-in. One click and your annotations flow into the tools you already use.

Built for research

Whether you are a student working through course readings, a researcher surveying literature, an analyst tracking industry trends, or a knowledge worker staying current — SMRY's highlighting tools are designed for serious reading. Build a personal knowledge base from everything you read.

Works with AI summaries

Highlight key points from AI summaries too. When SMRY generates a summary of a long article, you can highlight and annotate the summary text just like the original. Capture the most important takeaways in seconds.
