Ithaka
Read full descriptionHide full description
Everyone's connected. Almost no one feels read. Ithaka is a text-only social app for writing and reading. No photos of people, no reels, no filters. Just words, and readers who actually read them. A PLACE TO BE READ, NOT JUST SEEN Most social apps reward how you look. Ithaka is a writing app that rewards what you say. Every post is text on a full screen, one at a time, so your writing gets read instead of scrolled past. And we count readers, not likes. You see how many people actually read what you wrote, which is the only number that ever mattered to anyone who writes. WRITE WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WRITE Poems. Short stories. Journal entries. Shayari. Thoughts you typed at 2am and never showed anyone. Ithaka is built for original writing, not forwards, not status copy-paste. If you've been looking for a writing app where poetry and stories get read by real people instead of buried, this is it. WHAT'S INSIDE Daily Prompt One line to start from, every morning. The hardest part of writing was never the writing. It was the blank page. A daily writing prompt fixes that. Full-screen reading Read one piece at a time, the way writing is meant to be read. No feed noise, no autoplay, nothing competing for the sentence in front of you. Read counts See who read your writing, not just who tapped a heart. Explore Browse writing by category and find poetry, stories and journal entries worth your evening. Stickers Decorate your posts with generated art. Words first, but your page should still look like yours. Repost Pass on writing that deserves more readers. Top Writers and Top Readers Reading well is a contribution too, so we count it. WHO IT'S FOR Writers who'd never call themselves writers. Anyone with a Notes app full of things they've never shown a single person. Poets, journalers, overthinkers, people who write better than they talk. And readers. If you're tired of content built to be glanced at, there are people here writing things worth sitting with. A DIARY THAT ISN'T ALONE Journaling apps keep your writing private. Social apps make it performance. Ithaka sits in between: write like it's your diary, but someone reads it. That turns out to be the part people were missing. WHY WE BUILT IT We removed the photos, made the text full screen, and put the read count where the like count usually goes. Everything else followed from that. It's small right now, and honestly that's the good part. Post something today and real people will read it. Write one line. See who reads it.
