For the breaks between

Trade the scroll
for a story.

Same downtime. Same phone. Same pocket. At the end of the shift, you finished a chapter instead of forgetting what you saw.

Built for the way you work

Read between
customers.

Glint flashes one word at a time, in the same place on the screen. Your eyes don't track lines. The chapter goes by while you wait. Tap to pause when you hear a hello — the next word is right where you left it.


What it gives you

A book on shift.
One thumb, one word.

Pause without losing the page.

Tap once and Glint stops. Tap again and the next word is exactly where you left it. No scrolling back, no “where was I.”

One-handed and quiet.

Hold the phone in one hand, thumb on the screen. No flipping pages, no audio. Just a single word at a time, low-key as a text message.

Three minutes counts.

You don't need a long break. Ninety seconds at the register, four minutes on a smoke break, eleven minutes during cleanup — the chapter still moves.

The library

A hundred and
thirty books, free.

Sherlock Holmes. Jane Eyre. The Great Gatsby. Frankenstein. The classics you mean to read someday, already paced and ready. No login, no library card, no waitlist. Tap a cover, the words come to you.

A small shelf of paperback classics behind a register, slightly out of focus
1,400+ public-domain classics, included free.

The honest truth about working retail, security, the front desk, the night audit: there is downtime. Not a lot, not predictable, but real. Three minutes at the register. Eight minutes between rounds. Twenty-two minutes on the bench between calls.

Most people fill those minutes the same way — the scroll. The feed, the comments, the next reel, the next reel, the next reel. By the end of the shift you don't remember a single thing you saw, and somehow you're tired anyway.

Glint is built for the same minutes, with a different ending. One word at a time, at a pace you set, with a tap to pause whenever a customer walks up. Same phone, same pocket, same posture — but at the end of the shift you finished something. A chapter. A story. A book, eventually.

Free with the full library. Pro is a one-time upgrade, after you've read your first fifty thousand words. No subscription, no ads, ever.

Same minutes,
better ending.

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

Questions, calmly answered.

What if I only get 90 seconds at a time?
That counts. Tap to pause when a customer walks up; tap to resume and the next word is exactly where you left it. No scrolling back, no “where was I.” Read for ninety seconds and that counts the same as reading for an hour.
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.

A chapter, between
two customers.

Free. No account. Works on shift, on break, on the bus home.
