Emdash

Emdash is an AI tool that helps you organize and remember key highlights from ebooks and articles. It uses on-device AI analysis to identify passages with similar ideas from different authors, allowing you to gain a broader perspective. The tool also offers instant semantic search, allowing you to find relevant information based on fuzzy ideas. You can tag, rate, and annotate your highlights, and even export them back to epub format for review on your e-reader. EmDash is free and open-source, with the ability to import highlights from Kindle and export them in open formats like JSON and CSV. It also offers unique features like random discovery to uncover forgotten ideas and the ability to rephrase dense concepts using metaphors. The tool is offline-first, meaning your collection of highlights stays on your device unless you choose to use advanced features. Coming soon, EmDash will offer additional functionalities like summarizing and rephrasing complex ideas, conducting book interviews, cross-device syncing, and publishing or sharing excerpts.
