The default
When you have five minutes, a short-video feed is the easiest thing to open. It's built to keep you watching, not to leave you with anything.
Instead of another 47 pieces of content you won't remember, open one idea worth keeping.
There's no last page. Autoplay and endless scrolling remove every natural place to stop.
A lot went past your eyes, and there's no single thing you could explain tomorrow.
Constant novelty makes longer reading and focus harder to come back to.
What you get
No feeds designed to trap you, no autoplay. Just the parts that make five minutes worth spending.
A fresh, curated mix of short chapters across your favorite domains every day, so the habit builds itself.
Pick a domain and dive as deep as you want, at your own pace, whenever curiosity strikes.
Bookmark chapters and come back anytime, so nothing good gets lost in an endless scroll.
A simple, honest way to watch the habit take hold, one bite-sized chapter at a time.
What readers say
"I used to lose an hour a night to nothing. Now that hour turns into something I actually remember."
"It's the only app I don't feel guilty opening. Five minutes in, and I've learned something real."
"The daily domains keep me coming back. I've learned more history this month than in the last five years."
"Finally, scrolling that goes somewhere. My commute reads like a mini university now."
What you'll read
Eleven domains, hundreds of topics, always something new to read.
Why SoRead exists
I personally built this tool for myself, to get rid of hours of meaningless scrolling which was frying my brain :)
I wanted to replace scrolling at bedtime but it was difficult to know where to start to find good content to read, content that might intrigue me and make me want to go deeper on it.
One day I said, what if I make an app that provides me intriguing knowledge on my favorite domains with zero effort. Then SoRead came out.
