@brady Hi Brady, you got the point! Knotes only supports connecting Kindle and syncing highlights and notes to your Mac for version 1.0.1. But I planned to add syncing through Kindle web service at version 1.1.0. It has a high priority in the development queue but also needs more time to polish.
I'm very excited to announce that my Mac app Knotes is finally out! I created Knotes to help Kindle users manage and view all of the book highlights on your Mac.
No need for any configuration, just connect your Kindle to your mac and press the sync button, Knotes will parse all the highlights and download book covers automatically. In addition, Knotes can group different books by authors. Full text search and distraction free mode supported!
More features including PDF and HTML export, social network sharing etc coming soon. Advices and feature requests appreciated!
Download and have a try today!

Does it sync notes from PDFs/Documents imported into a Kindle or just books purchased from Amazon?
@adambader Hi Adam, great question! Knotes will also sync highlights and notes form PDFs/Documents imported into your Kindle. I have tested PDFs and Instapaper newsletter documents. But for current version, Knotes only display highlights. In the next version update, notes will also be displayed in Knotes app.
@adambader The Cracking_The_Coding_Interview is a PDF imported:
Also the 3 Instapaper newsletters are imported through Instapaper's weekly delivery service.

Even Kindle is available form finder, I am not able to connect my kindle to app: "Please connect your Kindle to Mac"
@rrrraulsc Hi Ra, please make sure you have the My Clippings.txt file in the documents folder of Kindle volumn. If not, please try to make a highlight in a book and then press the sync button at Knotes, the highlight should be synced immediately to Knotes.

@dukewan Hi Yizhao, i have a spanish versión: Mis Recortes.txt
@rrrraulsc Oh, that must be the reason. For now, Knotes only supports English and Chinese. Please wait while we are working on new versions that supports Spanish. I want to make sure that are the contents in your Mis Recortes.txt like this?

It seems an awesome product! Looking forward to try the sync between my kindle and my mac. On the website, you mention a free and a paid version of the app. But I can't find any detail on the difference between them, is there any?
@jorisrenaud Hi Joris, thank you! Knotes definitely worth a try! Knotes is a paid app which enables a 7 days free trial. The free download is actually a full version but with trial limitation. If you like Knotes after trial ends, please buy a license through our store. Thanks a lot for supporting us!
@samuelbeek Thanks Samuel! Appreciated for your praise. But because of the limitations of Kindle, I can only access clippings right now. However, we can imagine the general Kindle manager in case Amazon release APIs which enable third party developers to implement this in the future. Do you want to have all the features of current Kindle for Mac app at the general Kindle manager? Or which features do you want most?
@samuelbeek That sounds great. Hope Knotes would be acquired by Amazon someday and then Kindle for Mac will get a new look. : P

This is great! I love to do write ups for myself after finishing a book and exporting all of the highlights I've made will make that so much easier.
Thanks @dukewan
@lcpriest Thank you! Great habit to do write ups! And I'm glad Knotes can help you with that. I like doing reviews periodically and go through highlights can bring me back to these scenarios.
I love Knotes and will keep active on developing Knotes. Please wait for more upcoming features. : )
