What makes Wellread different

Six things no reading app
has done together.

📖

61,000+ Books In-App

Full text of every public domain title via Project Gutenberg. No subscription. No library card. No competitor offers this at any price point.

🔥

Duolingo-Style Habit Engine

Daily streaks, XP, badges, annual goals, leaderboards. The same mechanics that built a $5B language-learning company — applied to reading.

🤖

AI Book Discussion

Every book has a Claude-powered chat interface. Themes, characters, historical context, theological dimensions — answered in seconds, persisted per book.

👥

Structured Reading Circles

Curated reading programs with AI discussion questions, group progress tracking, hot-take reveals, and leaderboards. The LLF Reading Circle is live today.

Smart Swipe Discovery

Swipe through 61,000 titles. Every card trains a taste profile. After five swipes, AI recommendations adapt to your demonstrated reading preferences.

✍️

Author Portal

Authors register books, run placements ($19–$49/month), and track impression-to-purchase funnels. B2B revenue that bypasses Apple's IAP fee entirely.

The product

Read more. Together.

Three interconnected loops that compound on each other. Discover books. Build a daily habit. Go deeper through community and AI.

Loop 1 — Discover

Find your next book

Swipe through a curated stack of public domain titles. Right swipe saves to Interested. Left swipe trains your taste profile. The stack adapts as you go — no algorithm guesswork, just your own signal.

Loop 2 — Habit

Build the reading habit

Daily check-ins build streaks. XP rewards every action. Badges unlock at milestones. Annual reading goals with a live progress ring. The identical mechanics as Duolingo — applied to the oldest habit-builder there is.

Loop 3 — Community

Go deeper together

Join a reading circle with a curated book list, group leaderboard, and AI-generated discussion questions. Ask Claude anything about the book mid-read. Submit a hot take before the meeting. Reading becomes a social act.
