Read with intention.
Keep what stays with you.
Hearthpage is a reading companion and a commonplace book — line up what you mean to read, give it real attention, and hold on to the passages worth returning to. So you read more — and still have it months after the book is shelved.
Free while in early access — every feature, no card.
A practice, not a pile
Four small habits, one quiet app — for reading more, not just saving more.
- 01
Queue your reading
Books and articles land in one list — covers, excerpts and reading status included — instead of seventeen open tabs.
- 02
Sit down with it
Articles and PDFs open in a clean built-in reader; books get a timer. A focus session is you deciding to sit down — and the only thing that counts toward your streak. Streaks forgive a busy day, and a pixel companion keeps the chair warm.
- 03
Keep the good lines
Highlight in the reader and a passage is kept the moment you lift your finger — or clip from the web and import your Kindle highlights whole. Every line lands searchable, shelved by book.
- 04
Let them come back
Revisit deals old notes back a few at a time — in the app and in a quiet email digest — spaced further apart as each one sticks. One tap reopens the passage right where you read it. Your Journey shows the hours and streaks adding up.
soonAI synthesis — connect related notes and develop them into your own ideas.
Read here, keep as you go
Queue an article or PDF and it opens in a quiet, readable column — no ads, no tabs. Highlight a line and it's kept instantly, tinted on the page and filed on your shelf, still knowing exactly where it came from.
Old lines, back at the right moment
Forgetting is the default — Revisit is the counterweight. A few of your own passages come back each day, spaced further apart as they stick, more often for the ones you ask to see more.
Company for the long chapters
Companions — and their wardrobe — unlock with reading time, not with a credit card.
In your pocket, too
The iPhone app carries the whole practice — and it's where capture really shines.
- Photograph a printed page and lift a passage straight into your notes.
- Focus sessions with your companion — the timer, streaks and goals, wherever you read.
- Everything syncs — notes, queue, hours read and unlocks match the web, both ways.
In early access alongside the web app — coming to the App Store.
Begin tonight's chapter
Your library syncs between the web and the iPhone app — and your notes are kept as clean plain text, ready for wherever your thinking goes next.
