Reading apps, and nothing more.
A text, a voice reading it, and a layout that gets out of the way. No feed, no notification competing for your attention, no account to create.
Reading, undisturbed.
A reading app has nothing to sell you while you read. It shows a text, it reads that text aloud if you ask it to, and then it gets out of the way.
You download, you open, you read. There is no third step.
What we hold to
- Offline first The text ships inside the app. Audio downloads once, then plays with no network at all.
- No account Nothing to sign up for, no address to hand over. You open the app and you read.
- Your marks are yours Bookmarks, notes and reading position stay on the device. We have no access to them.
- Restraint A readable typeface, quiet colours, no ornament for its own sake. Not in the app, and not on this site.
