OpenWeRead is a free, open-source tool that lets you access and manage your WeRead (微信读书) reading data from your computer. It works like a friendly assistant that can show you your bookshelf, reading statistics, highlights, notes, and book recommendations. You simply install it, connect it to your WeRead account once, and then use simple commands to explore your reading life - search for new books, check how much you've read, or export all your notes and highlights. The tool is well-documented, uses standard security practices, and is officially supported by WeRead's open platform.
How It Works
You've been using WeRead to read books and want a better way to see all your reading data in one place.
With one simple command, you install the tool that connects to your WeRead account.
You get a special password from WeRead's website and enter it once - now your tool can safely talk to your account.
Find new books by searching for titles, authors, or topics

See how much you've read this week, month, or year
Pull out all your highlights, bookmarks, and thoughts from any book
Each feature is just one line - like asking 'show me my reading stats' or 'what highlights did I make in this book?'
You can now see your book collection, track your reading habits, and save your notes - all from your computer.
