Read it later: Twilar

App is fully purchased. Full text search works as advertised on MacBook, but only works sporadically on iOS. (Settings says full text search is “ready” but currently no results come up, though a few hours ago it was working fine.) As for other features, the app is rudimentary for now. UPDATE: after a few days of saying “ready”, settings said 0%, which makes sense. I left the app open to allow it to index. When it said “ready” again I tested it and it worked. As to why the long delay and the initial misreporting of the state of the search index, it might be because I have over 7000 records (imported). Software sometimes bogs down with large databases.

Twilar is a fantastic tool for reading and knowledge work! The UI is clean, fast, and easy to use. My biggest suggestion is to add an option to bulk export highlights. As things are, we have to export our highlights/notes one at a time, and they default to Markdown syntax. Also, the highlight colors are very hard to distinguish from the background and make it hard to see what is highlighted vs. what isn’t.

I really love the clear simple design of this app, and that all information are stored in my own iCloud is really cool! I use it nearly everyday, when I want to read something later, I put them in this app. Love it, thanks!
