What it does
Highlights is the best way to read and annotate PDFs on your Mac, iPad and iPhone for free. Use the app to extract annotations, images, tables and citations and turn them into powerful notes you can export anywhere.
Unlock advanced features by becoming a Pro subscriber. A free trial is available in the app. Highlights is built with you who annotate a lot in mind and the tools are where you want them. No additional taps through menus. If you want to go even faster you can set the default annotation color for each tool and even double tap the Apple Pencil to switch tool. Automatically find DOIs for scientific articles and download the correct metadata. Markup a citation and tap the link icon to look it up. If you have already read the citation Highlights will link it to the PDF on your device. Browse your files using the iOS document browser or the Finder on your Mac.
