Since Apple removed the ability to bulk export the highlights and notes you create within the Apple Books application, third-party options have to be used to perform this simple task. A very effective solution is NoteHarvester, the easy-to-use and macOS native Apple Books highlights exporter.
- Choose one or multiple books at once
- Copy selected highlights to clipboard
- Bulk export to CSV
- Download the latest Release
- Drag the app into your Applications folder
- Allow the app to access other app's folders. This is needed to access the Apple Books library
- Export into different formats (e.g. Readwise, Excel)
- Automatic updates using Sparkle
- Automated synchronization of bookmarks with third party apps
I am a student working on my projects in my leisure time. A lot of coffee is involved in the development of apps like NoteHarvester. If you find my work helpful, I'd super thankful for a little help :)
