## What is Glainer?

Glainer helps you understand what you read and connect it to what matters in your life.

Reading is powerful, but applying what you learn can be challenging. Glainer bridges that gap - turning the pages you read into clear lessons, insights tied to your goals, and knowledge you actually use.

How Glainer Works

Capture any page - snap a photo or paste text from a book, article, PDF, or EPUB. Glainer's AI reads the passage, distils it into memorable lessons, and shows you exactly how the ideas connect to your personal goals and life areas. From there you can go deeper, listen, discuss, and track your progress.

What You Can Do

Capture & Lessons: Turn any passage into clear, memorable lessons - no retyping; Glainer reads photos and files for you.

Goal Insights: AI that links what you read to your specific goals, so ideas become action.

Pulses: Chat with AI about a passage to explore it further and reflect.

Listen: Deep-dive audio on your books, plus a weekly "Your Week in Ideas" - and it resumes right where you left off.

Word Bank: Save new words as you read and build your vocabulary.

Discover: See what other readers are reading and find your next book.

Cycles: Read alongside a community and share what you're learning.

Your Library: Books, captures, highlights, and journals - organised in one place.

Private by Design: Your reading and notes are encrypted and yours.

AI features run on Sparks, your monthly reading fuel - and there are plenty of ways to earn more inside the app.

Why Glainer

We believe reading should thrive in the AI age. Glainer uses artificial intelligence not to replace reading, but to enhance it - helping you get more from every page while keeping the essential human act of reading alive and meaningful.

Perfect for readers, lifelong learners, and anyone committed to turning knowledge into action.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 0.3.2 — 2026-08-19

Glainer opens on what it already has. Tabs load when you first visit them, lists and chats render from your device instead of a loading shimmer, and tapping a notification opens the screen straight away.

Write your take with the capture, while the thought is still fresh. It now travels into the lesson, so what you get back answers what you actually thought. 

Review now shows how long you have held each card and how your pile is shrinking, with a real screen for the days when nothing is due.

Captures save to your phone first and upload in the background, so a slow connection never traps you on the save screen.

Plus: per book switches for what a capture generates, takes shown on cycle posts, a notification badge that finally comes down, and many smaller fixes.

### 0.3.1 — 2026-08-09

This release adds plenty of performance improvements.

Podcasts now start reliably on the first tap, and your weekly episode appears
instantly instead of waiting on the network.

Also fixed: duplicate collections when tapping Create, reminders in chat that
asked to be added twice, unreadable status bars in light mode, and a handful of
screens that opened blank until you pulled them down

### 0.3.0 — 2026-08-04

Meet Think First - Glainer now invites you to write your own take before it reveals the lesson, so the idea sticks. Build a daily writing streak as you go. You can turn this off if you don't feel it, no pressure

Also new:
- Spaced Review: a Reflect tab that brings back lessons, words and captures at
  the right moment to remember them.

- Listen: hear any capture or lesson read aloud

- Tags across books: tag your captures and read a single theme across every book.

- Progress by book: anchor goal updates to the book and chapter they came from.

- Reading Lens: choose how each book reads back to you.

- What's new, in the app: product announcements now surface inside Glainer, with
  an unread badge.

- Stronger on-device privacy: your local data is now encrypted at rest

### 0.2.0 — 2026-07-29

EARN MORE SPARKS
A new Rewards hub gathers every way to earn Sparks, with a satisfying moment each time you earn one.

GET STARTED FASTER

POLISH & FIXES

- Reflect shows new lessons and goal updates more reliably
- Faster, more reliable sign-in and onboarding
- Sign out now fully removes the previous account's data on shared devices.
- Capture processing updates live - watch a capture finish without pulling to refresh.
