About

Kravion

Read full description

You finish a good book, and a week later most of it has slipped away. Kravion is a reading companion that helps you hold on to the ideas that matter to you and turn one of them into something you actually do. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a book: search for almost any title or look it up by ISBN. • After a session, talk it through with Ethan, your reading partner, about what moved you. • Keep the idea you want to hold on to, in your own words. Something Ethan said worth saving? Keep it as Ethan's line. • Leave with one action: a small, concrete step to try in your own week. RECALL INSTEAD OF REREADING • Kravion brings your ideas back as short questions, with growing gaps in between. • Answer from memory first, then reveal. Your own words show how close you were. • Nothing comes to mind? You get a hint, not the answer. • Know it well? It returns later. Still shaky? It returns sooner. • A handful of ideas at a time, a few minutes a day. No endless feed. WHAT MATTERS FIRST • A book's core ideas and your own line from the book come before side notes. • See at a glance which ideas have stuck and which are waiting for you. YOUR NEXT BOOK • One suggestion for what to read next, instead of an endless list. ON YOUR TERMS • Reminders only if you switch them on, never more than once a day. • Free to start, no account needed to begin. • Available in English and German. Kravion builds on well-researched learning principles: recalling instead of rereading, and revisiting with growing gaps. Keep what you read.
