IO reader
New way to read. Read deeper. Think Sharper.
A reading environment that trains deep focus: the great books, immersive reading modes, and an AI that challenges you to think — not one that thinks for you.
Top comment
Hi Product Hunt — Min here, I built IO reader. It started as a personal problem: I'd lost the ability to read a hard book without my attention leaking out every paragraph. Every "AI + reading" product I tried made it worse — they competed on reading the book for me. Summaries, key takeaways, "read less." So I built the opposite. IO reader pairs the public-domain classics — Project Gutenberg and the hand-edited Standard Ebooks editions (and you can import your own DRM-free EPUB ebook) — with 12 AI personas that are built around one rule: none of them may summarize the book for you. The Critical Thinker surfaces the assumption you were about to swallow. The Questioner runs Socratic method on the page you're stuck on. The Interpreter rebuilds a hard passage in the shape of things you already understand, tuned to a short reading profile you set. The interface makes the same bet: a sentence-at-a-time reading mode, square editorial geometry, print-grade typography, and no engagement mechanics — nothing that scrolls for the sake of scrolling. It's on the App Store now. The full library and every reading mode are included; heavier AI is unlocked with an IO+ subscription. I'd genuinely love your hardest questions about the design — especially the "why not just summarize" objection, which I have opinions about. — Min
