For the unread stack

Your nightstand has eleven books. You've finished two.

Glint is for the other nine. One word at a time, at a pace you set. The eyes stay still and the stack gets shorter.

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

Why the stack stays a stack

It's not effort.
It's friction.

Read at your speed.

Most people land between 250 and 400 words a minute and start finishing things they'd given up on.

Bring the books you own.

Paste in any text, or import PDFs and EPUBs. The Glint reader handles them the same way.

No streaks. No badges. Ever.

The daily ring fills as you read. If you skip a day, nothing turns red.

The library

1,400+ classics,
already paced.

Pride and Prejudice, Crime and Punishment, Sherlock Holmes, Walden, Frankenstein, Moby Dick. Real books, real chapters, beautifully tokenized.

The library. Tap a cover. Words come to you.
The stack, paced

Pick one up
without picking it up.

Paste a chapter, import a PDF, or open something from the curated library. Three taps to your first page.

Most reading apps are built for the people who already finish books. Glint is built for the rest of us — the ones with a stack on the nightstand that hasn't moved in two years, the ones who buy a paperback in an airport and never get past page nine.

The technique is called RSVP — rapid serial visual presentation. One word at a time, in the same place on the screen, at a pace you set. Your eyes don't track across lines. Your attention has nowhere to wander. The book just goes.

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

The stack isn't proof of failure.
It's a list of things you still want to read.

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

Questions, calmly answered.

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.
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.

Pick one off the pile.

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