Khi is a simple Mac application that extracts highlights from your Kobo books and exports them to Markdown.
I created Khi to meet my own needs, but chose to share it because it might also be useful to others. The application is free, and if you find it useful, you can always buy me a coffee .
Since the app is not notarized, macOS may block it on
first launch. Run the following command in Terminal to
fix this:
xattr -cr /Applications/Khi.app
