About this tool
Glasp provides a browser‑based tool that captures selected text from any online page and stores it as a quote. The highlight can be saved directly to the user’s personal library, where it can later be grouped with other excerpts. This core function supports a range of audiences, from academic researchers gathering source material to professionals tracking industry news.
Beyond simple capture, Glasp adds social features that let users connect with others who have similar interests. Highlights can be shared publicly, tagged for categorisation, and organised into collections that can be exported to external note‑taking platforms such as Notion or Roam. The platform also supports collaboration through integrations with communication tools like Teams and Slack.
What you can do
Webpage Highlighting
Select any passage on a webpage and instantly turn it into a quote. The highlight is stored in the user’s library for later reference.
Collection Management
Gather multiple quotes into a single collection, allowing users to keep related excerpts together and retrieve them as a group.
Community Sharing
Publish selected highlights to a public feed where other users can view, comment, and link to the original source.
Who is it for?
- A graduate student extracts key arguments from journal articles, tags each quote by theme, and later exports the collection to Notion for thesis drafting.
- A market analyst highlights data points from competitor press releases, groups them by product line, and shares the curated set with teammates via Slack.
- An educator collects illustrative quotes from online resources, categorises them by lesson topic, and shares the curated list with a class through a Teams channel.
Before you choose
Check whether the platform’s community sharing respects copyright rules for the source material before publishing highlights.
Confirm how user data, including saved quotes and tags, is stored and whether it can be exported or deleted on request.
Frequently asked questions
How does Glasp organise saved highlights?
Saved highlights can be grouped into collections that you create manually. Within each collection you can add tags to further categorise the quotes, making it easier to filter and locate specific information later.

Yes, Glasp offers integrations with popular note‑taking applications such as Notion and Roam. You can export collections or individual highlights directly into those environments, preserving the original source link and any tags you applied.
What social features are available for sharing highlights?
Glasp allows you to publish selected quotes to a public feed where other users can view them. You can also link your profile to community members, enabling a network of users who can follow each other's shared highlights and discuss the source material.
