BitesReads · a calmer kind of app
Endless feeds are engineered to hold your thumb, not to help you. We build the opposite: quiet apps that reward you for looking up, putting the phone down, and spending your attention on something that lasts.
01 — Anti-dopamine
No infinite scroll, no autoplay, no notifications begging you back. Our apps are designed to end — so you can, too.
02 — Screen-light
Ten focused minutes. A session that ends in the dark. Small, deliberate habits that quietly add up instead of draining you.
03 — Back to life
Read a real chapter. Sit with your own thoughts. The best outcome of our apps is the moment you set the phone down.
One studio · two paths
Two ways to spend an evening well — whichever mood you're in.
The shadow line
A gamified Pomodoro timer that rewards the one thing every other productivity app forgets: actually putting your phone away.
Set a session, lock your screen, and your ninja begins to train. Unlock too early and the training breaks — so the game only moves forward while you stay present in real life.
Step 01
Pick 10, 20, 40, or 80 minutes — a quick task, a classic Pomodoro block, or a deep study session.
Step 02
The game only advances while your screen is fully dark. Unlock to scroll and you break your ninja's stealth.
Step 03
Finish a session to level up, raise your ninja's attributes, and keep your daily focus streak alive.
Progress through a 10-chapter allegory. Each stage is a modern distraction to defeat — turning study hours into a quest to win your attention back from the feed.
Level through 10 ranks, manage your ninja's vitality, and use earned items to protect your streaks — real self-discipline, made satisfying.
Between focus blocks, collect and reflect on 100 historical maxims — a small moment of calm instead of another dopamine hit.
Fully local and offline. No account, no servers, no data collected or shared — just a deep-blue night interface built for deep work.
The light line
The greatest literature ever written — served ten minutes at a time, so you actually finish it. Instead of a four-hundred-page wall, you read (or listen to) one short session a day.
🎧 Read or listen — every book has audio
Holmes, Poirot, Father Brown — crack a classic mystery in just ten minutes a day.
Poe, Lovecraft, Stoker — timeless horror, bite-sized, one chapter a night.
Austen and the Brontës — fall in love with a classic, ten minutes at a time.
Every title is sourced from Project Gutenberg and is in the public domain.
Put the phone down
Two small apps, one idea: the best thing your phone can do is give you a reason to look away from it.
