As your reading goals evolve, the home view adapts. Finished a tier? The next one is already waiting. Your reading life stays organized without any effort on your part.
While chasing your reading goals, capture the passages that resonate. Highlights and notes are saved per book and fully searchable, so your reading time counts twice: toward your streak and toward a personal knowledge base.
