Forjamente é o app de leitura que te faz não soltar o livro — porque tem gente lendo junto com você. Crie um clube, convide quem importa, e transforme a leitura solitária em hábito coletivo. A chama do grupo só fica acesa enquanto vocês lerem juntos, todo dia. O QUE TEM NO FORJAMENTE • Clubes de leitura — em grupo (todos lendo o mesmo livro) ou avulso (cada um lê o seu, mas o ritmo é coletivo) • Hábito do grupo — páginas e horas somadas em tempo real • Chama coletiva — sequência de dias do grupo, gamificação leve que funciona • Ranking entre membros — Hoje, Semana, Mês, Total • Metas diárias por livro e meta total do dia • Acompanhamento por progresso ou por hora de leitura • Insights inteligentes do seu ritmo • Compartilhamento elegante de citações e do próprio clube • Adicionar livro escaneando o código de barras (ISBN) • Notificações gentis quando faltam páginas pra meta • Suporte direto pelo app — abriu um ticket, time recebe na hora POR QUE FUNCIONA Pesquisa atrás de pesquisa confirma: a forma mais sustentável de criar um hábito é fazer parte de um grupo que mantém o mesmo hábito. Forjamente foi construído inteiro em volta dessa ideia. Não tem timer pomodoro, não tem flashcard, não tem "gamificação tóxica" com pontos por todo lado. Tem o essencial: o livro, sua meta, e as pessoas que decidiram ler com você. PRA QUEM É • Quem quer ler mais e nunca consegue manter regularidade • Grupos de estudo bíblico, filosofia, ficção, qualquer gênero • Famílias que querem ler junto • Amigos que toparam um desafio anual de livros • Comunidades de leitura que estão num grupo de WhatsApp mas perdem a conta de quem está onde • Coachings, mentorias, clubes de mastermind O DIFERENCIAL FORJAMENTE A maioria dos apps de leitura te deixa sozinho com seus livros. O Forjamente te coloca lendo em comunidade — sem ruído, sem feed, sem disputa. Só você, seu livro, e o grupo que escolheu caminhar junto. COMECE GRÁTIS Sem cartão. Sem ad. Sem trial enganoso. Baixe, crie um clube, convide alguém que importa, e veja a chama subir. ________________________________________ PLANOS E PREÇOS • Leitor — R$ 6,90/mês ou R$ 64,90/ano Livros e clubes ilimitados, análise com IA • Líder — R$ 51,90/mês ou R$ 515,90/ano Tudo do Leitor + ferramentas pra conduzir clubes (analytics, mensagem em massa, caixa de perguntas) • Líder PRO — R$ 128,90/mês ou R$ 1.296,00/ano Tudo do Líder + clubes públicos ilimitados e comunidade sem limite de membros O app é gratuito pra usar com 2 livros simultâneos e participar de até 2 clubes.
