What is Glasp?
Glasp is a social web-highlighting and note-taking tool. It lets you highlight and annotate web articles, PDFs, and YouTube videos, then saves those highlights in one place with tags and notes. It offers AI-powered summaries to condense content, lets you export your highlights to other tools, and includes a social layer where you can see and learn from others’ public highlights.

Who it is for
Glasp suits readers, researchers, students, and lifelong learners who consume a lot of online content and want to capture, organise, and revisit the insights — and who like the idea of learning from what others highlight. It is especially useful for building a personal library of highlights that you can search and export.
Things to keep in mind
AI summaries are convenient, but verify anything important against the source, since summaries can miss nuance or context. If you use the social features, remember your public highlights are visible to others, so be mindful of what you share. Glasp is a capture-and-curation tool; the value grows as you build and revisit your highlight library.

For anyone who reads a lot online and wants to capture and reuse insights, it is well worth trying. Verify AI summaries against the source, mind what you share publicly, and it becomes a valuable reading and learning companion.
