Public domain, beautifully read

Read the classics,
a chapter at a time

The great books are free. Finishing them is the hard part. Lint gives you one chapter a day and a place to keep your progress.

Start reading free
How it works

Three steps, then just reading

1

Pick a book

Browse a catalog of public-domain titles — properly typeset, no scanned PDFs, no paywalls, no accounts required to look.

2

Build a stack

Group what you're reading into a stack. Lint remembers the order and where you left off in each one.

3

Read a chapter

One chapter at a sitting. Short enough to actually do daily, long enough to finish a novel in a season.

Stacks

Curated, not algorithmic

Start from a hand-built stack instead of a blank library.
