Bento - Reading Clipboard

Frictionless tool for getting reading highlights from your phone into Roam.

Bento helps you read more by letting you quickly paste snippets from any article you're reading into any note-taking app.

Read 5 times more. Save times more of your reading notes to reference later.

Instructions

1. Select text while reading (in your browser, pdf, etc).

2. "Bento" instead of "Copy" in the selection menu that pops up.

3. Go to your note-taking app, long-press, and select "Paste".

Bento helps you save multiple highlights to a clipboard while you're reading. Then it automatically formats all your highlights so that you can paste it directly into your favorite note-taking app.

No more wasted time switching between apps while reading and taking notes. Just select the text you want and save it to Bento. Once you're doing reading, copy over all your snippets with a single tap.
