October

October is a desktop utility that extracts highlights stored on a Kobo e‑reader and transfers them to a Readwise account. The application presents a graphical interface where users can connect their Kobo device, select the desired highlights, and initiate a sync with Readwise in a few clicks, eliminating the manual steps normally required.

The tool targets non‑technical users who want a straightforward way to keep their reading annotations backed up and searchable in Readwise without dealing with command‑line operations or custom scripts. It runs on macOS, with, and Linux, and requires only a valid Readwise subscription to function.

October is released under the MIT license, making the full source code publicly available for inspection or modification. The software is provided at no cost and is described as stable, offering a zero‑price solution for anyone looking to automate the transfer of Kobo highlights to Readwise.
