Relego is a self-hosted tool developed by Krusty93 that helps users revisit their Kindle highlights by delivering periodic recaps directly to their Kindle devices. The software works by importing highlights from the "My Clippings.txt" file that Kindle devices generate, then selecting a daily or weekly subset of those highlights using a spaced repetition approach. The chosen highlights are compiled into a native EPUB recap file, which is shipped to the user's device through Amazon's Send-to-Kindle service. This workflow makes the software relevant to the categories of personal knowledge management, reading and e-book utilities, and self-hosted productivity tools, as it is designed to help readers resurface and retain ideas from books they have already read rather than letting their highlights sit unused. Use cases include receiving automated daily or weekly highlight reviews on a Kindle, reinforcing long-term retention of key passages through spaced repetition, and browsing or curating a personal highlight collection. In addition to its automated delivery functionality, Relego provides a command-line interface that, when launched without arguments, opens an interactive terminal user interface. Through this TUI, users can browse their highlights, manage exclusions so that unwanted highlights are left out of recaps, and configure the server that handles the delivery process. This combination of a self-hosted server, an EPUB-based delivery pipeline, and an interactive management interface gives users control over both their data and their review schedule. The current version of Relego is 0.15.2, and the software catalog records two versions in total, indicating an active release history for the project. Because it is self-hosted, the tool is suited to users who prefer to run and manage their own services while keeping their reading data under their own control, and its reliance on the standard Send-to-Kindle mechanism means recaps arrive on the device in the same way as other personal documents.
