How it works

A practice, not a pile.

Most reading apps help you hoard. Hearthpage is built around a loop — four small habits that turn what you read into what you keep.

01
Queue your reading
Everything you mean to read, in one list.
Paste a link anywhere on the Reading page and it's saved — title, cover image and reading time fetched for you. Add books by title and Hearthpage finds the cover and author.
Three shelves keep it honest: Up next, Reading, and Finished. No seventeen open tabs, no screenshot graveyard.
02
Sit down with it
Focus sessions turn intention into time actually read.
Pick a book, pick a duration (or leave it open-ended), and read. The timer keeps counting even if the tab is in the background, and a pixel companion keeps the chair warm — it earns hats as your hours add up.
Reading streaks forgive a busy day, and your Journey page shows the time genuinely spent.
03
Keep the good lines
Capture passages and thoughts the moment they land.
Jot notes mid-session without leaving focus mode (⌘↵ saves), clip from any web page with the bookmarklet, photograph a page in the iPhone app, or import your Kindle highlights whole.
Everything files itself under its book on your Shelf, tagged and searchable.
04
Let them come back
A note you never see again may as well not exist.
Revisit deals a fresh handful of your old notes each day, and the email digest brings a few to your inbox. Books you're done with can be muted; passages you love can come back more often.
That's the whole practice: read with intention, keep what stays with you, and let it return.
