## What is Doomread?

You lose hours a day to an infinite feed. Doomread gives that habit somewhere better to go.

Swap thirty minutes of scrolling for reading and that is about twenty-four books a year. The time already exists. Doomread is built around that one swap.

A SHELF, NOT A BACKLOG
Your shelf holds what you are actually reading. Swipe through it, tap a cover, and you are in the book. No to-read list growing behind you, no guilt counter.

READ THE WHOLE BOOK
22 classics ship with the app, in full — 1.7 million words, free and out of copyright. Gandhi's Freedom's Battle. Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Marcus Aurelius. Sun Tzu. Frederick Douglass. Frankenstein. Dracula. Sherlock Holmes. The Science of Getting Rich. Read them chapter by chapter, set the type to a size that suits you, and pick up where you left off.

279 BOOKS, 16 SHELVES
Every cover is already on your phone. Browse by Literary Fiction, Classics, Thrillers, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Romance, Biography, History, Philosophy, Psychology, Business, Science, Poetry, Adventure and Historical Fiction.

MARK WHAT MATTERED
Hold any paragraph to highlight it. Highlights collect in your journal as pull quotes, with the book and chapter they came from, so the passage that stayed with you is still there in six months.

EVERY BOOK IN TEN PAGES
Every one of the 279 books comes with a 10-page read written in our own words: what the book is about, its key insights, the examples that make them land, what to take away, the lines worth remembering, and what to read next.

HOURS, NOT TROPHIES
The journal shows six months of reading at a glance: a day-by-day grid, where your time went by subject, and your streaks. It counts hours rather than titles finished, and never shows a number it has not earned.

YOURS, QUIETLY
Sign in with Apple, or read as a guest. Your shelf and highlights stay on this iPhone. Light and dark themes. No ads. No feed. No leaderboard. Nobody else's reading to compare yourself against.
