Capture with care
Automatic capture waits for a steady page. Adjust page boundaries, read full-page text, and run recognition again when needed.
Inkive · A reading tool for paper books
Take a line from the page into your life.
Keep reading the paper book in your hands. When a line stays with you, photograph the page. Inkive finds the marks and text on your device, keeps them with their book, and brings them back when you need them.
From a real page to a highlight you can edit.
Start with the page
Reading doesn't end when you close the book.
The lines you marked deserve a place to stay and a way back into view. Inkive connects capture, review, organization, and rediscovery around the rhythm of reading on paper.

01 / Capture the page
Read first. Capture what stays with you.
Take one photo or work through several pages. Automatic capture waits for a steady page; batch capture guides page turns and checks for duplicates.
02 / Review the words
Keep the source page close.
Inkive recognizes marks and text on your device. Check each highlight against the page, correct the words, and add a note. You can select a missed sentence yourself.
03 / Keep it with the book
Remember where the thought came from.
Pages and highlights live with their books. Move between a book's pages and excerpts, then use filters and search to find what you saved.
04 / Meet it again
A good line deserves another reading.
Favorite a highlight or take a Random Walk through one book. Daily Review and Home Screen widgets bring saved lines back into everyday life.
05 / Take it further
Bring a passage into your work.
Export as Markdown, HTML, or PDF, and connect tools such as Obsidian and Notion when you choose. Sending to outside services is always initiated by you.
The details are there when you need them.
Page correction, book details, share cards, and backups support the practical work that follows reading.
Find it later
Keep pages and highlights by book. Favorite, filter, and search them, and choose what appears in Daily Review.
Make it yours
Adjust the style of share cards, export your work, and create encrypted backups. Some connections and outside services require setup.
