Export your Kindle books with highlights and notes.

What you get

  • A file per book: its highlights as quotes, popular highlights too, then your notes, then a link that opens it in Kindle
  • Its author, publisher, language, progress and when you last read it in the front matter
  • When Kindle keeps no readable author, Alto Index looks it up online by the book’s ASIN and remembers it

Where the files go

alto-index/kindle/The Quiet Orchard - Mara Fenn.md

What you choose

  • Tick the books to export; All and Recent help you find them

Left out

  • Dictionaries
  • The location of a highlight

Free and paid

Your first 20 books export and keep syncing free. Then one purchase unlocks Kindle: on its own, as one of any three apps, or with all of them. See pricing.

With Claude

The MCP server lets Claude Desktop search your highlights, and /altoindex:search in the Claude plugin searches them with everything else.
