NoteHarvester - Apple Books highlight exporter written in Swift

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.

Functionality

• Choose one or multiple books at once
• Copy selected highlights to clipboard
• Bulk export to CSV

Installation

• 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

Planned for the future

• 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 :)
