Got Questions About Readwise Highlighter?
Q.Is Readwise Highlighter free, or does it require a subscription?
Readwise Highlighter is 100% free to download on the Apple App Store without predatory weekly subscription traps. You can install and use it across your Mac and iPhone Safari browsers.
Q.How do I enable Readwise Highlighter in macOS and iOS Safari?
On Mac (macOS): After downloading from the Mac App Store, open the application once, then launch Safari -> click "Settings" (or Preferences) in the menu bar -> select the "Extensions" tab -> locate "Readwise Highlighter" and check the box to enable it. On iPhone/iPad (iOS): Go to iOS "Settings" -> tap "Safari" -> tap "Extensions" -> select "Readwise Highlighter" and toggle it ON.

Yes, in the extension popup menu, you can configure hover keys (such as pressing Option / Alt) to display immediate bilingual tooltips without clicking.
