Changelog

Hey folks, happy Tuesday! Time to check out the latest changelog here on Reddit. The idea is to help keep y'all in the loop of what the Readwise developers are getting out into the world. Here's what we shipped last week:

  • 🆕 NEW! Markdown Uploads — Thanks to Tristan, you can now upload Markdown files to Reader the same way as EPUBs and PDFs: drag and drop them in or use the file picker on web, or send them to the mobile app through your device's share menu. The document's title comes straight from the file, and the first image in the file becomes its cover.

  • ✅ NEW! Daily Review API — You can now mark your Daily Review as complete through the public API, thanks to Rasul. This is a useful endpoint for anyone building personal dashboards or homepages on top of the Readwise service. It can also be used to complete reviews from the past several days, just like in the app.

  • 🌐 NEW! Article Language Control — Rasul added a language parameter to the Reader API and MCP server, so you can specify a document's language when saving it and that choice sticks so that automatic detection no longer overrides it. If you read in multiple languages, your saves should now end up labeled the way you intended.

  • 🔊 Fixed Text-to-Speech Errors — Artem tracked down a bug where pressing play on text-to-speech could fail with a server error while audio for other listeners was being generated at the same time. Narration now starts reliably, even at peak listening hours.

  • 🤖 Improved MCP Responses — Rasul shipped a fix so the MCP server's document list tool no longer returns entire document bodies by default, since they could sometimes be 100,000+ characters and clog up your AI's context window. AI assistants browsing your Reader library now get fast, lightweight responses, and your agents burn far fewer tokens doing it.

  • ⌨️ Fixed Chat Focus — Thanks to Ibai, pressing esc in the Ghostreader chat panel on web now returns focus to the document, so you can quickly switch back to other reading shortcuts without needing to reach for the mouse.

  • 🖥️ Fixed CLI Hangs — Rasul released v0.5.9 of the Readwise CLI, fixing an issue where commands could hang indefinitely on newer versions of Node. Commands respond promptly again.

  • 📅 Fixed Mobile Date Sorting — Rasul's publish-date sorting fix from last week has made its way to the mobile apps: when you edit a document's published date in its metadata, lists sorted by published date now respect the change on your phone, just like on web.

  • 📱 Fixed App Crashes — Artem upgraded the mobile app's animation library, fixing a crash that could unexpectedly close the app. Reading on your phone should feel more stable all around.

If you'd like to get the Changelog in your inbox, check out our WiseUp! newsletter, where the Readwise team shares answers to common questions, video tutorials and guides, highlights of our latest improvements, and a couple of lighthearted extras we think you’ll enjoy.

And as always, feel free to let us know if you have any questions, tho realistically we're going to see an in-app bug report or question faster :>
