Migrate from Readwise Reader to Tuck in 30 seconds
Readwise Reader is a great power tool, and a $9.99/mo subscription that gates a lot behind a learning curve. If you want read-later that's fast on day one, Tuck imports your Reader JSON export in 30 seconds and your Readwise highlights come along.
Ready to migrate? Get Tuck. The rest takes 30 seconds in the app.
Install Tuck on your phone or open it on the web. Sign in, tap Settings → Import → Readwise, and drop your export file. We’ll preserve your tags, favorites, and archive state.
Readwiseexport file ready? Hold on to it; you’ll upload it inside Tuck. Expected format: Readwise Reader JSON export (+ optional Readwise highlights ZIP).
What Tuck preserves
- All saved articles, RSS items, and email newsletters
- Tags
- Read / Later / Archive locations
- Highlights (text + notes + colors)
- Source URL + saved date
- Document metadata (author, published date)
What we can’t recover
- Spaced-repetition review queue stays in Readwise. Tuck stores highlights for re-reading, not flashcard scheduling
- Ghostreader / Reader's AI prompts are a Readwise-only feature; Tuck has its own summarizer instead
