Hi Product Hunt 👋
Glasp cofounder here!
🚀 Today, we’re launching the Glasp: Easily Save and Highlight Images 🙌
🕰️ Story behind Glasp
10 years ago, Kazuki, the co-founder of Glasp, was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma that suddenly paralyzed the left side of his body, and his doctor told him that he could go into cardiopulmonary arrest at any moment. He managed to survive through emergency surgery, but when he was confronted with the reality that he might disappear from this world, he remembers feeling an inexpressible sense of fear and frustration welling up from the bottom of his body.
At the same time, he was struck by the desire to prove that he existed in this world and that his life had meaning, and the urge to leave something useful behind for the world while he was still alive to feel a sense of contribution to humanity.
📚What is Glasp?
Glasp is a social web highlighter that people can use to highlight and organize quotes and thoughts from the web without switching back and forth between screens and accessing other like-minded people’s learning simultaneously.
Our mission is to democratize access to other people’s learning and experiences that they have collected throughout their lives as a utilitarian legacy. As Glasp stands for "Greatest Legacy Accumulated as Shared Proof", we want to visualize your contribution to human knowledge history.

The integration with note-taking apps like Notion and Roam Research is impressive. This is the best tool I’ve seen for organizing highlights.
I’m curious about how this tool handles different file types and formats. Can it manage a variety of image formats and text types.
Great job on the launch! Are there any plans to add more customization options for tagging and organizing highlights? It would be even better if there were options for integrating with other productivity tools.
I love the concept of a social highlighter tool. Being able to see what others are reading and highlighting sounds fantastic for discovering new content. Keep up the great work!
Great launch The ability to highlight images along with text is a Fantastic. I often struggle with managing visual content, so this is perfect for my research work. Excited to see how it helps me stay organized. Congrats and good luck!
I’m really excited about the ability to highlight and annotate images on the web. It’s a fantastic feature for researchers and students
Congrats on the launch! This is a really useful product!! Thank you for coming to my life, Glasp :)
Congratulations on the launch! Can I highlight some part of the page without highlighting any images? Also, do my highlights become public, or is there any option to make my private board? Thanks.
Congrats on the launch, @kei_watanabe! I like this approach to capturing internet information - often times things like Pocket 7.0 just get left unread for me or I have trouble finding the one tidbit or image.
I can totally see this become a super good resource for students or learners of something that's relatively new that only the Internet has covered. Also super curious to learn more about you and your co-founders story! The tidbit you shared is insane.
Huge congratulations on your successful launch! I can't wait to see the positive impact your product will have🔥
Congrats on the launch, Glasp team! This tool is super useful for saving and highlighting web content.
Looking forward to seeing how it helps people share and learn together. Great job!
i can see this being useful when you’re doing a paper with tonssss of reference 🤔🤔
