How a reading works
One idea per tap.
Each reading is a short story in chapters. You go one screen at a time, and the pictures build as you go.
- Tap. One idea on each screen. Read it, tap Next, and the next piece arrives.
- Slide. Move a number and watch what changes: inflation against a savings rate, fees against growth, a stop against the size of a trade.
- Check. Quizzes, sorts and chart drills where you tap the candle. Every answer, right or wrong, tells you why.
Every real number, study or event links to where it came from. Made-up examples are marked Illustrative.
Practice and Saved
Keep what you read.
Practice gives you a short set each day from the readings you’ve finished: review cards, a chart drill and a scenario. Skill bars show how your answers are going, and the Playground lets you try every slider again.
Saved keeps your insight cards. Tap the heart on an idea worth keeping, and it’s there to reread or share as an image.
Set a daily goal of 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and a reminder if you want one.
Free, and private
Nothing to buy. Nothing to sign up for.
Free
No price, no subscription and no in-app purchases. Every reading is included.
No account
Open it and start. No sign-in, and no email address to give.
No ads or tracking
No analytics, ads or tracking, and nothing collected. The readings are built in, so it works offline.
On your iPhone
Progress, answers and saved cards stay on your iPhone. Reset Progress, or delete the app, and they’re gone.
The details are in the privacy policy.
