Glasp is a browser-based highlighting and knowledge-curation tool that allows users to capture text highlights and notes from web articles and YouTube videos. Highlights are saved to a personal profile and can be tagged, organized, and shared with others in the Glasp community. The platform has a social dimension: users can follow others, discover what peers are reading and highlighting, and explore curated content across topics. Glasp also offers an AI-powered summarization feature that can generate summaries of a user's highlights and of YouTube videos. The tool is designed to help individuals build a lasting, searchable record of what they have read and learned, and to surface connections across saved content. It is primarily delivered as a browser extension for Chrome and Safari, with a web-based dashboard for reviewing and managing saved content. Glasp positions itself as a tool for researchers, students, writers, and lifelong learners who want to retain and share knowledge gathered from online reading.
