Reading, finally treated seriously.
Epigramm shows you your real reading life—not the one you imagine, but the one that's actually happening across days, months, and years.
Most apps stop at storage. Most tracking stops at finished books.
This goes
further.
Your reading life is invisible
You track your workouts, your sleep patterns, your daily steps, your screen time, your meditation streaks, your work projects. But your reading? The thing you might spend 5-10 hours a week doing? Completely invisible. No patterns. No data. No clarity.
You can't see when you actually read versus when you meant to read. You can't compare this month's reading to last month's, or see how vacation reading differs from weeknight reading. You're operating on guesswork and vague feelings instead of actual information about your own behavior.
You can't tell if you're reading more deeply this year or just accumulating more starts. If you're finishing books faster or slower. If fantasy pulls you in more than literary fiction. If 400-page books work better for you than 600-page ones. You have no mirror for your reading mind.
This is for people who
don't want vibes. They want signal.
We're building Epigramm for all kinds of readers
The Data-Driven Reader: Tracks workouts and sleep. Finds it absurd that reading gets left out.
The Series Completionist: Needs to know exactly where they are in 47 different series.
The Romance Power Reader: Reads 200+ books a year. Needs infrastructure, not vibes.
The Academic/Researcher: Highlights heavily. Revisits constantly. Needs searchable archives.
The Pattern Seeker: uses reading data to understand themselves better. Caresa bout what reading reveals about their life, attention, and inner state.
The Privacy-First Reader: Wants insight without surrender. Reading data stays yours.
The Social BookTok Reader: Reads socially. Books move through you and then outward.
Read in systems, seasons, or themes
You don't just read one book at a time in a neat linear fashion. You're reading three books simultaneously. You're following threads across a dozen authors. You loop back to reference books from two years ago. You read a trilogy, then jump to poetry, then return to book four. You need tools that understand reading as a complex practice with depth, scope, and non-linear patterns—not just a list of finished titles in chronological order.
Care about coverage and completion
You want to know where you stand. Not guess. Not hope. Not rely on vague recollections six months later. You want clarity on what you've read this year, what percentage you actually finished, which series have gaps, what genres you're neglecting, which authors you return to. You want to see completion rates, genre distribution, and reading velocity—not because you're trying to optimize everything, but because you're curious about your own patterns and you like having accurate information about things that matter to you.
Highlight, revisit, connect ideas
You highlight passages. You write notes in margins. You want to revisit those highlights six months later and find them instantly. You want to search across everything you've ever highlighted about a specific topic. You want data you can export, reflect on, and actually own—not AI-generated summaries that miss the point, not vendor lock-in that holds your notes hostage, not someone else's algorithm deciding what's important. Your highlights. Your notes. Your reading history. Fully searchable. Fully exportable. Fully yours.
What Epigramm actually does
It feels less like a book app and more like a mirror for your reading mind.
Epigramm captures your real reading behavior automatically. Time of day. Session length. Reading streaks and gaps. Days you read for three hours straight versus days you didn't open a book at all. You can compare this month to last month, this year to last year, summer reading to winter reading, vacation patterns to work-week patterns. Finally see the rhythms that actually exist in your reading life instead of the ones you imagine or wish were there.
See your reading life as it actually unfolded. Which genres consistently pull you in and which ones you abandon halfway through. Which books you finished in three days versus three months. When your reading habits shifted—did you read more after that vacation? Did fantasy take over your fall? Did you stop finishing books in March? You get actual data about your reading patterns over time, not vague memories that might be completely wrong.
Want to share a great passage on social media? Reflect on a book publicly in your newsletter? Discuss a quote with a friend? Do it without exposing your entire reading history, your private highlights, your unfinished books, or your personal notes. Selective sharing. Granular control. Always your choice about what becomes public and what stays private. No accidental oversharing. No pressure to perform your reading life for an audience.
Export everything. Search everything. Own everything. Your reading data isn't mined to sell you products. It's not fed into an algorithm designed to maximize engagement. It's not locked in a proprietary format. No ads. No tracking. No algorithmic feeds trying to keep you scrolling. Your reading life belongs to you, stored in formats you can access, search, and move whenever you want. Full data portability. Full privacy. Full control.
