Somewhere in a book you haven't read yet is an idea that could change how you work, think or live. Booksify makes sure you don't miss it: the key ideas from 1,000+ bestselling nonfiction books, in about 15 minutes each. Read or listen, and tap any word to translate it. WHY WE BUILT BOOKSIFY Most of us want to read more. Then life gets busy, and the books stay on the nightstand. We don't blame willpower. A 300-page book is simply hard to fit into a normal day. So we made the best books fit yours: self improvement, psychology, business, money, communication and leadership, in summaries you can finish on a commute, a workout or a coffee break. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” HOW IT WORKS โ€ข We keep what matters. A few key ideas carry most of a book's value (the 80/20 rule). You get them in 15 minutes instead of 10 hours. โ€ข Read and listen at the same time. Every sentence lights up as it is read aloud, so you never lose your place. โ€ข No word stops you. Tap it to see the meaning, pronunciation, the whole sentence translated and similar words, in 11 languages. โ€ข A small step every day. Each morning, Today's Insight for You gives you a free book picked for your interests, and your reading streak keeps the habit going. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” A QUOTE WITH THE BOOK BEHIND IT A quote on its own is easy to forget. Booksify sends you 3 quotes a day from today's free book, and one tap takes you to the ideas behind them. Highlight any line to see it on your Lock Screen all day, and save your favorites to come back to. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” LEARNING ENGLISH? Every summary is written in clear, modern English. Tap a word you don't know to see its meaning, pronunciation and translation in 11 languages, including Turkish, Azerbaijani, Spanish and Russian. You build vocabulary from real books, not textbook sentences. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” WHAT YOU GET โ€ข 1,000+ book summaries, about 15 minutes each, split into key ideas and short chapters โ€ข Audio and text: listen like an audiobook with natural narration, or read at your own pace โ€ข Challenges: themed reading plans such as Financial Mindset, one classic a day โ€ข 30+ categories and curated collections: business, career, money, psychology, communication and more โ€ข Goals and daily reminders at the time you choose โ€ข Offline mode: download summaries and listen without Wi-Fi โ€ข Share a book with a friend, who can read it free โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK Do summaries replace the full book? No. They give you the big ideas to use right away, and help you decide which books to read in full. What language are the summaries in? English. Tap any word to translate it into one of 11 languages, including Turkish, Azerbaijani, Spanish, German, French, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese and Chinese. Can I use Booksify for free? Yes.
