Readwise StrawberryEvery highlight in Readwise, pulled into one sheet
2 read operations and no writes: a companion can list highlights and get highlight details in Readwise and hand back the highlights with the source on each row.
Open the highlight. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Readwise afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what Readwise exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 2 operations, 2 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can list highlights and get highlight details, and work across the highlights and highlight details.
The Readwise API stops at Readwise. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Which Readwise highlights does a companion see?
All 2 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can list highlights and get highlight details, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Readwise's documentation.
The highlights are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the highlight details. A companion can hold all 2 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Readwise admin becomes a queue you review.
- List Highlights
- Get Highlight Details
How does a companion change a highlight?
Through the screens you already use.
Readwise exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Readwise in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a highlight, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a highlight in Readwise touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Does the highlight sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Readwise highlights pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The product and engineering playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the engineering admin, the Readwise highlights sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
