A full read-later library. It saves whole articles, supports highlights and review of your highlights, has AI summaries and Q&A, works on phone, tablet and computer, and syncs to other note tools.
Pick it if you want to save articles to read later. Pick Quick flomo if you don't want another library and only want one clear note left in flomo.
SimpRead

Pick it if your goal is to study English systematically and memorize words on your phone. Pick Quick flomo if you take notes on web pages as you read and want to send them to flomo.
Zotero Connector
A real reference library. It captures metadata, manages PDFs, has writing plugins for Word and Google Docs, supports many citation styles, and the software itself is free.

When Quick flomo is not the right fit
- You need it on your phone. Quick flomo only runs in desktop browsers.
- You use Safari or Firefox. Only Chromium-based browsers are supported for now.
- You want side-by-side full-page translation. Try Immersive Translate for that.
- You want a completely free word lookup tool. Saladict is free and open source.
- You need to cite journal articles, books or theses. Use a reference manager.
- You don't use flomo and only want to save full articles. A read-later tool is more direct.
Sending to flomo uses the flomo record API, which flomo says requires PRO membership. Any other tool that uses this API has the same limit.
