Retome, an AI Reading Assistant With Receipts

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Chinese-language reading companion that explains saved passages, recalls previous reading, and connects notes without pretending to know what you have not read.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

Retome separates three reading actions: preserving a passage with its page number, asking about material already saved, and returning to an earlier excerpt or question. Its demonstration uses a page-24 statement about correlation and causation, then labels the everyday ice-cream example as auxiliary rather than original source text. The browser notes area is available independently, but the iPhone workflow remains a closed-test direction and does not yet synchronize with it.
