Most people don’t stop reading because they don’t like books. They stop because they never find the right moment. Next Paragraph turns long books into something you can read naturally — one paragraph at a time, right from your Home Screen. No feeds. No streaks. No pressure. Just the next paragraph, waiting for you. What it does How it works: • Add a large widget to your Home Screen • Import a book or paste your own text • Each time you look at your phone, you read one paragraph • Tap once to move forward — no app opening required Reading becomes something that happens between moments, not a task you need to schedule. Why it’s different Designed for real life reading Unlike traditional reading apps, Next Paragraph doesn’t ask for long focus sessions. It’s built for: • Busy days • Short breaks • Quiet moments • Slow progress that actually lasts You don’t “finish chapters”. You simply keep moving forward. Widget-first experience The Home Screen is the main reading space. The widget always remembers where you stopped. Each tap gently moves you to the next paragraph. No notifications. No reminders. No guilt. Import your own content • Paste any text • Import PDF books (one-time unlock) • Clean paragraph segmentation, optimized for widgets Your content stays on your device. Privacy Your reading is private. • No accounts • No tracking • No cloud sync Everything stays on your phone. Who it’s for Next Paragraph is for people who: • Love books but rarely finish them • Prefer thinking over skimming • Enjoy slow, intentional reading • Want reading to fit into daily life — not fight it

Tiny Reader is a reading app for anyone who finds it hard to focus on a page. Instead of a wall of text, it shows just one to three sentences at a time. There's less to face, so it's easier to begin — and easier to keep going. It's built for adults getting back into reading, or reading more comfortably than a phone usually allows. WHAT IT DOES - Shows a sentence or two at a time, at a pace you control - Simple navigation — tap the edges or use the buttons - Bookmark any moment and jump back in a tap - A progress slider to move through a book quickly - Three calm reading themes — Paper, Sepia, and Night - Adjustable text size PRIVATE BY DESIGN Tiny Reader works entirely on your device. Once a book is imported, the app makes no network calls — you can read in airplane mode. There are no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no ads. Your books, bookmarks, and settings never leave your device. BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS Import your own DRM-free EPUB files. A sample book is included so you can start reading right away. No sign-up. No distractions. Just reading.
