Percivo is the nonfiction reading app for people serious about personal growth.
Book insights through the lens of who you are right now. Not a summary app.
Most book apps give you one version of a book. Percivo gives you the one that actually fits your life.
Start with Core Insights, the real DNA of the book. Real book analysis, not a retelling. Then open the same book through a different lens: the way an Entrepreneur reads it.
The way a Coach reads it. The way a Parent, a Creative, or a Student reads it.
Same book. Completely different insight.
This is not a summary app. This is a perspective engine for serious self improvement.
ONE BOOK. MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS.
Every book in Percivo unlocks multiple lenses so the ideas land where they matter:
- The Entrepreneur: Decisions, leverage, scalable thinking, and execution.
- The Busy Professional: Priorities, career clarity, and sharper work.
- The Coach: Behavior change, mindset shifts, and helping others grow.
- The Creative: Original thinking, expression, and idea generation.
- The Student: Structure, retention, and faster understanding.
- The Parent: Relationships, family dynamics, and emotional intelligence.
WHAT'S INSIDE PERCIVO
- 2,800+ nonfiction books, decoded with real book analysis.
- Multiple perspectives per book, not just the gist.
- 4 - 8 minutes per insight. Real depth, real speed.
- Daily picks built around your personal development goals, not an algorithm.
- The Vault to save your most important takeaways.
- Highlights Tab to capture every line worth keeping.
- Business, psychology, habits, productivity, finance, creativity, and more.
WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT
Most learning apps treat every reader the same. A founder and a parent need completely different things from the same book. Percivo is the first book insights app built around that truth. A reading app where book analysis is tailored to your life.
Not a summary. More like a prism.
Open Percivo. Pick your lens. See your next book differently.

I have never really been able to stick with most nonfiction books. I will start strong, then a couple chapters in I lose focus and just drop it. I have always wished there was a way to just get the main takeaways so I can decide if it is worth finishing or just move on.That is why Percivo has been such a nice find. It does more than just give you a quick summary, it actually shows the same book from different angles, which I had never really thought about before. It makes the whole thing feel way more interesting and less like a chore. I have already gone through a bunch of books I would have never picked up otherwise.
