ReadApp

BACKGROUND

I often read eBooks, save articles, and write notes on the iPad, but these actions are split across different apps.Reading tools lack handwriting, note apps can’t import EPUB or web content directly, and book discovery happens elsewhere. This fragmentation disrupts focus and prevents a continuous reading habit. There is a clear opportunity to integrate reading, handwriting, and discovery into one focused experience on the iPad.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

1. Reading and handwriting are separated into different apps, interrupting focus and learning flow.
2. Web articles are filled with distractions such as ads and cluttered layouts, making deep reading uncomfortable.
3. Book discovery and recommendations happen outside the reading experience, limiting consistent reading habits.

CONCEPT

ReadApp brings reading, handwriting, and content discovery into one integrated environment. Users can read EPUBs and web articles, handwrite thoughts with Apple Pencil, and explore new books without leaving the reading flow. By reducing distractions and supporting personal reading behaviours, ReadApp encourages deeper focus and more meaningful engagement with digital content.

DESIGN GOALS

1. Create a seamless reading and writing workflow without switching between apps.
2. Support distraction-free and comfortable reading across books and articles.
3. Encourage continuous and personalised reading habits through integrated discovery and reflection.
