Build Your Research Hub in Notion

Notion is fantastic for organizing projects, but it lacks a built-in PDF annotation extractor. Our tool bridges that gap, allowing you to move from 'Reading' to 'Organizing' in seconds.

Two Powerful Workflows:

  1. Database Import (CSV): Export your highlights as a CSV and use Notion's "Merge with CSV" feature. This populates your Reading List Database with rows containing the Quote, Page Number, and Reviewer Name.
  2. Page Blocks (Markdown): Copy our formatted output and paste it into a Notion page. It automatically converts into Notion's native Quote Blocks and Callouts, preserving your color coding.

Stop the endless tab-switching. extensive copy-pasting. Centralize your knowledge in your Notion Workspace.
