Is it available in Hindi and other Indian languages?

The app works in English and Hindi. Any card can be translated, and AI answers can be written in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Bengali, Telugu, Gujarati, Kannada or Punjabi.

Is it good for older parents?

Yes. Choose "Later in life" and the text is bigger, the pace calmer and the ideas lean towards meaning and wellbeing. Text size can be changed any time.

Can I see what my teenager is reading?

You see their streak, how many ideas they read today, their badges, and whether they started the books you recommended. You don't see their saved ideas, notes or questions. We call it peace of mind for parents and privacy for teens: the guardrails are built in, with age-appropriate AI answers, a few mature books hidden, no chat between teens, no tracking and no personalised ads.

Is there anything for younger children?

Yes. Kids corner, for ages 6 to 12, has bedtime stories with a lesson from the Panchatantra, Jataka tales, Akbar and Birbal, Tenali Raman and Aesop, read aloud, with questions to ask your child. You can add books for them too. It has no ads and no tracking, and your child's name stays on your phone.

Can school students use it?

Yes, from age 13. School students get age-appropriate AI answers, no usage tracking and no personalised ads, and a few books are hidden.

Are these the authors' own words?

No. Every card is a short summary of one idea in our own words, credited to the author, with a link to buy the book. Authors and publishers can ask us to change or remove anything; we respond within 48 hours.

How is this different from other book summary apps?

They stop at reading. We add debates that reconcile opposing books, arguing with a book, practice with feedback, Indian thought next to Western classics, and "try this" commitments with check-ins, all free.
