Hey everyone! Maker here.
I built Highlight Vault because I had years of Kindle highlights just sitting there, buried in Amazon's own site, basically impossible to search or actually use. I wanted something that pulled them onto my own computer, let me search across everything I'd ever highlighted, and — the part I actually use daily — kept a synced copy in Notion and Obsidian so my highlights live next to the rest of my notes instead of being stuck in a silo.
A few things I'm especially happy with: Notion sync sets up real Select/Number/Date columns (Genre, Rating, Status) and pulls in each book's cover art automatically, instead of just a plain text dump. Obsidian sync keeps one Markdown note per book updated, so it plays nicely with Dataview/Bases if you're into that. There's also an "on this day" feature that resurfaces old highlights you forgot you made, and everything's local-first — no account, no cloud lock-in for your own notes.
Would love to hear what you think, especially if you're a heavy Kindle highlighter or already have a Notion/Obsidian setup you're trying to fit this into. Happy to answer anything about how the sync works under the hood too.

One thing I'd love is the ability to tag or label highlights manually beyond just the book's structure, so I can group quotes by theme across different books. Right now searching helps, but a personal tagging system would make it way easier to build collections around ideas I'm actually thinking about.

Love that this works offline and exports to Notion. One thing I'd love: an optional plugin or webhook that auto-syncs new Kindle highlights the moment I plug the device in or open the Kindle app, so I don't have to remember to run the export manually.

Finally got my Kindle highlights out of limbo and into a clean searchable library on my laptop. The Notion sync with cover art was a nice touch, made my whole reading list feel organized for once.

finally a way to dig through years of kindle highlights without scrolling forever. the notion sync with covers and ratings made it feel like my scattered notes actually belong together now.
