Literari is the reading journal that keeps you accountable — one page, one day, one book at a time. Most readers don't have a reading problem. They have a consistency problem. You pick up a book, life gets in the way, and two weeks later you've lost the thread. Literari fixes that. BUILD A READING STREAK Read every day, keep the chain alive. Literari tracks your consecutive days and celebrates milestones so that opening a book stops feeling optional. LOG EVERY PAGE Mark your progress as you go. Capture thoughts, insights, and favourite lines while they're fresh — not weeks later when you've already forgotten them. SET YOUR ANNUAL GOAL Decide how many books you want to read this year. Watch the number climb. There's something quietly satisfying about a goal that's actually within reach. READ WITH FRIENDS See what the people you trust are reading right now. No feeds, no follower counts, no noise — just a nudge that someone you know is 200 pages into something great. Literari is built for readers who are serious about the habit — not the highlight reel. No algorithm. No social pressure. Just you, your books, and a streak worth protecting. This app is subject to Apple's standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
