If you want more than the words

The words are free. The help is the app.

In the app

  • Sophia — a guide who has read every book on these shelves. Ask her what a passage means, in chat or out loud, without leaving the page.
  • All 56,964 commentary notes — every Insight, Context and Practice note across 418 books, not the first three.
  • 402 books narrated end to end — sleep timer, background play, and it picks up mid-chapter where you stopped reading.
  • 234 Distilled decks — a book’s argument in five minutes of cards, for when you want the shape before the text.
  • 66 guided lessons and a 106-entry glossary of the ideas these books keep reaching for.
