Reading at midnight

Late, dark, quiet.

No flipping pages, no hunting the line, no light bouncing off white paper at 1 a.m. Just a single warm letter, one word at a time, in the dark.

I’d like your honest feedback before this hits the App Store. — Eric

Designed for the dark

A glow,
not a glare.

The reader runs on near-black charcoal. The amber focal letter is dim enough to live with at midnight, bright enough to find without effort. Nothing white, nothing flashing, nothing that asks the eye to refocus.

Three things the night demands

Reading without
waking up.

Pure black, warm accent.

OLED-friendly. The amber letter is the only thing your retina has to follow.

No page turn.

No swipes, no rustle, no animation in the corner of your eye. Words just appear.

Sleep-aware pacing.

Glint can ease pace down as the hour gets later, and stop after one chapter if you ask.

Bedside, not bedtime-stealer

For the hour
that nothing else fits.

A chapter in bed, with the lights off, without unlocking the part of your brain that scrolls. Glint dims itself as the hours get later and stops when you ask.

A nightstand at midnight, a small lamp, a phone face-down, a half-read book
The bedside reader. Dim. Quiet. Goes to sleep when you do.

The page used to keep you up. The lamp clipped to the headboard, the spine cracked, the squint to make out the line. Now the page is a backlit phone full of feeds, which is worse.

Glint is the way to read at midnight without paying for it the next morning. The screen is mostly black. The focal letter is warm, not blue. There are no pages to turn, no notifications to glance at, no autoplay that pulls you into the next thing. Just words, arriving.

Free with the full library. Pro is a one-time upgrade.

The page used to keep you up.
Now the page is just one word.

1,400+ public-domain classics free. One-time price, no subscription. Bring your own books — PDFs, EPUBs.

Questions, calmly answered.

Will the screen wake me up?
The reader runs on near-black charcoal with a single warm amber letter as the only thing your eyes have to follow. No white pages, no flashing, no blue light, no animations in the corner. Glint can also ease pace down as the hour gets later and stop after a chapter if you ask.
What’s free vs Glint Reader Pass?
Free on iPhone: the full reader, paste-anything, import your own PDFs and EPUBs, plus the full library of 1,400+ public-domain classics — all of it. Reading is capped at 50,000 words on the free tier. Free on Apple Watch: the Pace card to dial in your reading speed. Glint Reader Pass is a one-time $29.99 — no subscription, ever — that removes the iPhone word cap, adds Apple Watch reading (the library + your own books), and send-to-watch for your imports.
What happens to my reading data?
It stays on your phone. Glint has no server-side account, no cloud sync of your text, no analytics on what you read. iCloud is used only to keep your settings and library between your own devices.

For the hour
that nothing else fits.

Free. No account. Goes to sleep when you do.
