About:
October is a GUI application designed to retrieve highlights from Kobo e-readers and seamlessly sync them with Readwise. It simplifies the workflow for readers who want to centralize their annotations across devices. The tool handles the extraction and formatting process automatically, saving users from manual copy-pasting.

Key Features:

Automatic detection of connected Kobo devices
One-click sync to Readwise
Clean, native user interface
Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux)

Use Cases:

Backing up Kobo highlights to a cloud service
Consolidating reading notes for review and analysis

Alternatives:

Kobo Utilities (Calibre Plugin) – More complex setup; requires Calibre but offers broader device management features.
Manual Export – Free but time-consuming; requires navigating the Kobo drive structure manually.
