Your shelf · The lines that return
Chromatics + Readwise
The honest truth about highlights is that almost nobody reopens them — they felt important once, and then they sank. Readwise built its whole product on fixing that: a few of your saved lines, resurfaced each morning, on a schedule tuned to memory. Chromatics feeds it in real time. Keep a line in the book tonight; meet it again in your Daily Review some morning in March.

Readwise · How it works
Paste a token once
In your commonplace book, choose Send to Readwise and paste the access token from your Readwise account. That’s the whole setup. From then on, every line you keep flows into your Readwise library the moment you keep it — filed under the book, with the author, the chapter, and your note carried along. Delete a keep in Chromatics and we won’t re-send it; your library stays clean.
Readwise then does what it does best: Daily Review, spaced resurfacing, export onward to Obsidian, Notion, or Roam if that’s where your reading lives. We’d rather be the best possible source in the pipeline you already trust than lock you into ours.
Readwise · The difference
Attributed to a voice, not a page
A Kindle highlight arrives in Readwise as words and a location number. A Chromatics keep arrives knowing who said it — Raskolnikov, not “page 214”; Catherine, the night she chooses Linton. When a line surfaces in your review months from now, the attribution is half the memory. That context is what makes an old line land again.
Readwise · Or without it
No Readwise? The habit still works
Chromatics resurfaces kept lines on its own — now and then, quietly, in the line’s own color, never a streak to protect. And your keeps can live in a Notion database, an Obsidian vault via Markdown, or a plain CSV on your disk. Your lines are yours; every road out is paved.
Keep the line tonight. Meet it again in March.
