Save bookmarks, search the table of contents, and jump within a chapter without losing your previous position. No ads, purchases, subscriptions, or account required.

Relit reinvents how you read. Upload any book — PDF, EPUB, FB2 — and the app splits it into short, meaningful fragments. One complete thought per screen. Swipe through, one card at a time. The entire original text is there. Nothing is cut, nothing is summarized. Designed for anyone who finds it hard to focus on long paragraphs, gets distracted mid-page, or wants to read more without fighting their own brain. HOW IT WORKS — Upload a book: PDF, EPUB, FB2 — Relit parses it intelligently — by sentences, chapters, and structure, not by raw character count — You read one fragment at a time. Swipe vertically — Progress saves automatically. Pick up exactly where you stopped UNLIKE SUMMARY APPS Relit doesn't shorten or rewrite your book. Every word of the original is preserved. Think of it as a layout change — from walls of text to a smooth, focused feed. Not a digest. The full book, just easier to read. WHY IT WORKS Short, complete fragments are easier to hold in mind than long unbroken paragraphs. Each swipe gives you a small sense of finishing something — instead of losing your place in a wall of text. That's the whole idea: less friction, more finished books. FEATURES — Vertical swipe: read like a feed, one fragment at a time — Chapter navigation: jump between chapters anytime — Daily reading goal: set a fragment target and build a streak — Reading streak: stay consistent, track your progress — Quote sharing: share beautiful quote cards — Speed scroll: scrub through the whole book fast — Dark theme: comfortable reading, day or night — 8 languages: Russian, English, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, German, French — One-time purchase: no subscription, no account needed GOOD TO KNOW — Works fully offline once a book is imported — Your library stays on your device — private by default — No DRM support: Kindle and other DRM-protected files are not supported WHO IT'S FOR — You have ADHD or find it hard to sit with long text — You want to read classics but never get past page three — You're used to short-form content and want the same flow for books — You read in short bursts: on the bus, in line, between tasks — You just want to finish more books NOT A REPLACEMENT — A BRIDGE Relit doesn't aim to replace paper books.
