Highlights

The passages you highlight while reading in KOReader sync into Tome, and the Highlights page gathers all of them into one place — a personal commonplace book you can search, browse by book, and export. Nothing to set up beyond the KOReader plugin: highlight a passage on your device, sync, and it shows up here.

Browsing by book

Open Highlights from the sidebar. Your highlights are grouped under the book they came from — cover, title, author, and a count — with each highlight shown as a quote card, along with its chapter and the note you attached, if any. Click a book's title to jump to its detail page. Each book can be collapsed to its header so you can scan a large collection quickly, and Collapse all / Expand all in the toolbar folds the whole list at once.

Searching

The search box filters across every highlight in your library at once — matching the highlighted text, your notes, the chapter, and the book title — and the matching words are marked in the results. Searching automatically opens any collapsed books so nothing is hidden, and restores your collapsed view when you clear it.

On this day

Toggle On this day to see only the highlights you made on today's date in previous years — a small, pleasant way to rediscover what struck you a year or two ago. The Home tab also surfaces a single "on this day" highlight as a quote card; on a day with none, it shows a random highlight instead.

Dates & details

Each card shows when the highlight was made, with a hover for the full detail — the exact time, the chapter, the highlight colour, and when it first synced to Tome. When your highlights use more than one KOReader colour, a small coloured dot on each card reflects the colour you chose on the device; if you only ever use one colour, the dots are hidden so they don't add noise.

Exporting

Export copies your highlights as Markdown — a heading per book, each passage as a block quote with its note — ready to paste into your notes app, a wiki, or a journal. The copy icon on each book exports just that book's highlights. Export reflects whatever you're currently viewing, so an active search exports only the matching highlights.

Per-book highlights

Every book's detail page also has its own Highlights & Notes section showing just that book's highlights — handy when you're looking at one title. The Highlights page is the library-wide view of the same data. See KOReader plugin for how syncing works and the reader for reading inside Tome.
