We built LitRead because we believe reading deserves a quiet corner of the internet. A place where your attention isn't for sale, your data isn't the product, and the only goal is helping you read more.

01 The Problem with "Good"

Most book platforms today are owned by companies that sell things. Their incentive isn't to help you read - it's to keep you scrolling, clicking, buying. Your reading list becomes a shopping cart. Your reviews become marketing data.

We've watched the joy of reading get buried under notifications, ads, and algorithmic recommendations designed to maximize engagement, not understanding.

We missed the quiet internet. The one where tools existed simply to help you do something you love.

02 Our Promise

Free Forever

LitRead's core features will always be free. Reading shouldn't have a paywall.

No Ads, Ever

We will never show you advertisements. Your reading time is yours alone.

Your Data Stays Yours

We will never sell your personal information. You own your reading history.

Independent

LitRead is bootstrapped and independent. Our only stakeholder is you.

03 Join Us

If you believe reading is worth protecting, we'd love to have you.

LitRead is built for readers, by readers. Every feature we add is designed with one question: does this help someone read more?

Welcome to the quiet internet.

Reading is sacred.
