Your notes should stay in your memory

TMTAMSSCM · 05-28-2026, 11:32 PM

Hey everyone,

I read a lot of non-fiction, and I’ve always had this frustrating problem: I’ll highlight a brilliant quote or lesson in a book, close it, and completely forget about it a week later.I wanted a way to passively remember what I read without having to open a flashcard app every day. So, I built an iOS app to solve this for myself.

Here is how it works:
* You import your highlights (it supports Kindle, or just pasting text).
* You set a daily schedule (e.g., "Send me 5 notes between 9 AM and 8 PM").
* The app sends your highlights as push notifications throughout the day.
* It uses a spaced repetition algorithm—if you remember a note, you see it less often; if you forget it, it brings it back sooner.

It’s been so helpful for me to just glance at my phone and be reminded of a great lesson while I'm at work or waiting in line.

I would absolutely love some honest feedback from fellow readers. What features would make this a "must-have" for your reading workflow?

The app called Echonos on AppStore

IMO the user should be able to export their selection to the app via the share sheet or via a shortcut instead of copying and pasting their text.

I have solved this problem for myself with a shortcut that exports my selection to a text file, an automation that SCPs the said file (along with my dictionary lookups) to my home server every day at 19.00 and a cron job that creates Anki cards from these files. Glad that someone has build an app that can help the others achieve a similar goal without having to buy a home server and learning to code.

I use Readwise for my highlights, so I'm more curious than interested. Do you have a website with more details about the app? What is the pricing structure?

I also love the idea from Readwise but the problem for this is the pricing plan is high for me.
I’m just an indie dev and build this app for myself so I just created a FB page for introduction and instruction for new people as below

For pricing, you can receive 5 notifications per day for free user. If you need more notifications, you just need to buy lifetime for 4.99$
