Five minutes is
a real practice.

Start small.

Five minutes a day is a real reading practice. Glint counts every minute and never asks for more.

No catch-up math.

The book remembers where you stopped. The next session resumes at the start of the sentence you were on.

Bring the books you've been meaning to.

Paste any text, import any PDF or EPUB. Or pick from the 1,400+ classics that come free.

Resume at the sentence

Pick up where
the thought began.

If you put the phone down mid-chapter and pick it up tomorrow, Glint resumes at the beginning of the sentence — not the middle of a thought. You don't have to remember anything.

A book spine cracked open just enough to mark a returning reader's place

A lot of us used to read a lot more. Then something happened — a job, a kid, a phone, a pandemic — and the habit got quietly relocated to the bottom of the priority list. The books didn't go anywhere. The reader did.

Glint is for getting back. The format works in the small slivers of time that real life leaves you. The library is full of books you've been meaning to read for years. The reader resumes at the start of the sentence so you don't have to remember anything.

Free to try, a one-time upgrade if it works for you. Most people land between 250 and 400 words a minute and start finishing things they'd given up on.

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

Questions, calmly answered.

What if I can only read for five minutes?
That’s a real reading practice. The book remembers where you stopped — the next session resumes at the start of the sentence you were on, so you don’t have to remember anything. Most people land between 250 and 400 words a minute.
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.
How is this different from speed-reading apps?
Glint isn’t trying to make you faster. The point is to make reading possible when long-form pages keep losing you. Many people end up reading at a normal pace, just with the format that finally lets them stay on the page.

that’s been waiting.

Free. No account. The first chapter takes three taps.
