About

CN'TREAD

Features
Read full description

CN'TREAD turns any book into something you'll actually finish. Import a PDF and CN'TREAD's AI slices it into short, focused "shots" — one key idea at a time. No more losing your place in a 400-page book you never open. Just one shot, a minute of reading, and real progress you can feel. HOW IT WORKS • Import Your Book — Add any PDF and we'll break it down into digestible shots. • Read in Shots — One focused excerpt at a time, in the app or straight from your Home Screen or Lock Screen widget. • Track the Bottle — Every shot you read brings you closer to finishing — watch your progress fill up as you go. WHY CN'TREAD Most reading apps ask for an hour you don't have. CN'TREAD asks for a minute. Read a shot while you wait for coffee, between meetings, or before bed — and actually get through the books piling up on your list. You are not forced to spend time on each page. Instead, you can tap on the widget if the content captures your interest. Built for busy readers who want to make progress in seconds, not hours. Subscribe to unlock unlimited usage. Free trial included.
