Chapter III · p.42

There was a stillness about the room that afternoon, a peculiar quietude no clock could measure.

The light through the curtain was thin, almost ephemeral, the kind of light that arrives briefly and is gone before you can name it.

She thought, as she often did, of her grandmother's kitchen window…

The Stillness Diary · ch. III
What did Marina mean by “a drawer of small flat things”?
She uses it as a metaphor for memory — time isn't a flowing river to her, but discrete objects she can return to: a letter, a postcard, a photograph. From p.43 · no spoilers
Who is the woman in the photograph?
Ask anything about what you've read…

01 Library
01Features

Built for readers who want to remember.

A reading app that treats memory as the point — not the side effect. Everything below is in the box, day one.

01

Beautiful, distraction-free reading

Bundled serif fonts. Five reading themes. Pixel-precise typography controls. Reading should feel like reading.

02

Tap to learn any word

One tap reveals meaning, pronunciation, and a context sentence from the book. Tap Learn and it's yours forever.

03

Spaced repetition that just works

The same science behind Anki, hidden behind a beautiful interface. Reviews scheduled at the exact right moment — before you forget.

04

AI that earns its place

Every flashcard is enriched with examples, related words, and a memory hook tied to the exact book and chapter you saved it from.

05

Ask the book

Finished a chapter? Ask anything about what you've read. No spoilers, no detours — only what's already on your page.

06

Sync across every device

Your position, highlights, reactions, and deck — perfectly in sync from your phone to your tablet to your desktop.

02How it works

Read. Tap. Remember.

No dashboards. No streaks to maintain. Just a loop quiet enough to disappear into the act of reading itself.

The card on the right is the whole product.

When you tap a word while reading, this is what appears. The word itself. The sentence it lived in. A clean definition. Related vocabulary. And four buttons to tell Bookxie how well you knew it.

That's it. That's the loop. Read the book. Save the word. Review it when Bookxie tells you to. Never lose it again.

03From our readers

The reader's verdict.

"I've used Anki for seven years. Bookxie does what I always wanted Anki to do — be inside the book itself. I save words without breaking the spell of reading."

Mei Tanaka
Language learner · Tokyo

"Three months in and I genuinely remember vocabulary from books for the first time in my life. The end-of-chapter summaries alone are worth the subscription."

Aleksandar Novak
Lit student · Belgrade

"Reading apps usually feel cold. Bookxie feels like a beautifully designed notebook that happens to have a memory engine inside it. I read more because of it."

How does the vocabulary and spaced-repetition system work?
Tap any word while reading to get an instant definition. Save it to create a vocabulary card — Bookxie uses AI to generate a definition, example sentences, and related words.
