Welcome
Sensemaker is a read-it-later application for people who think about what they read.
Save articles, PDFs, EPUBs, newsletters, and podcast feeds. Read them distraction-free. Highlight and annotate. Let AI surface connections you'd miss. Build a personal knowledge library over time.
What Sensemaker Does
Save anything — Paste a URL, upload a document, subscribe to an RSS feed, or forward a newsletter. Content is extracted, cleaned, and stored for you.
Read without distractions — Articles render in a clean, focused layout. PDFs and EPUBs open in dedicated viewers. Adjust font size, track your progress, pick up where you left off.
Highlight and annotate — Select text to highlight in 6 colors. Add notes. Tag highlights for thematic grouping. Export everything to Obsidian, Markdown, or JSON.
Let AI do the busy work — Subscribers get automatic content summaries, topic tagging, and suggested highlights that surface connections across your library. Triage 20 items in 5 minutes.
Search and discover — Full-text search across your entire library. Filter by tags, content type, reading status, or source. The Insights page shows thematic patterns in what you're reading.
