Made for two readers first.
BookWit started as a reading app one parent built for two daughters, twelve and fourteen.
It had to feel like something they'd be proud to use, not a toy: a shelf that looks like a real one, a way to keep the lines they love, music for the chapter they're on, and friends to read with, without strangers or ads.
Then their principal started a push for every student to read ten pages a day. BookWit grew a second half: a challenge a whole school can join with a poster, where homerooms read toward a shared goal and nobody's individual reading is put on display.
BookWit is in beta now. We'd love to hear what you think.
What we believe
Trust before growth
A parent or a school should never have to wonder who can see a child's reading. Privacy rules shape every screen we make.
The reading, not the scoreboard
We celebrate books and shared totals. Students are never ranked against each other.
Made to be proud of
BookWit should feel like something a teenager shows their friends, and something an adult reader keeps using.
Run itself
A busy principal should be able to set up a school once and walk away. Teachers already have enough to do.
Say less
Plain words, short sentences, no fine print hiding the real rules.
What we won't do
- Show ads, or sell or share anyone's reading data.
- Let staff look up an individual student's reading.
- Let strangers find or message young readers.
- Send a student marketing email. Ever.
