Before you begin
A few good
questions.
What will I find in the app?
Book summaries at three reading depths, selected around your interests and language preferences. You can save books, revisit your reading progress, and check off practical actions. These are editorial summaries, not the complete original books.
Will there always be a new book for me?
Daily assignments depend on editorially approved content that matches your preferences. During this test release, some topics or languages may not have an available book. The app tells you when nothing suitable is available.
Can I start reading in my browser?
Yes. Open the web app and sign in with a one-time email code. Native-app distribution and app-store approval are separate from web access; this website does not promise an app-store release.
Do I need to buy the original book?
No purchase is required to explore an assigned summary. Where available, optional links can take you to independent retailers. Affiliate links are identified, and any purchase is governed by the retailer’s own terms.
How can I delete my account?
In the app, open Profile → Privacy & data → Delete account. You may need to sign in again first. You can also contact us from your registered email address. See the account-deletion page for the steps and retention details.
Tomorrow starts with a little curiosity.
Make a moment for a different perspective.
