Time your reading, let Kindle sessions log themselves, keep the lines worth keeping — and now, a candle on your home screen. No ads. No streaks. No noise.
You've tracked hundreds of books and remember almost none of them. Somewhere between the star ratings and the to-read pile, the reading itself went missing. Saga is for readers who want it back — the hours, the lines, the words, and the people who read alongside them.
Saga turns reading into something you keep. Start a session and the timer runs while you read — on your lock screen, beside a small candle. Note the sentences that stay with you. Look up a word and it is yours for good. Close the book, mark it finished, and the friends who read with you will know. It is the quiet social life of a reader, without the ads, the noise, or the leaderboards.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Time your reading sessions — the timer lives on your lock screen while you read
• Reading on Kindle? Connect it once, and Saga offers to log that reading too — everything stays on your phone
• Take notes and look up words without leaving the page
• Follow friends and watch a calm feed of the books they are living in
• Start a book club — a candle lights as each of you finishes
• Set a weekly goal — hours to aim for, not a streak to defend
• Keep your whole reading history, gathered and beautifully kept
• Dark by candlelight or a warm paper light — your choice
• One notification, ever: when a friend finishes a book
Reading has always been a solitary thing that readers somehow do together. Saga is the room where that happens — calm, quiet, and built for the long haul. Open a book tonight, press the candle, and let the years begin to add up.
Saga 1.3
• A home-screen widget — your current book and a week of candles, at a glance. Long-press your home screen → ＋ → Saga.
• Pause from the lock screen — the reading timer now pauses and resumes right on the Live Activity (iOS 17 and up).
• Photos post exactly as you shot them — no more cropping.
• Book clubs, easier — search any reader when inviting, and add people after the club exists.
• A tidier feed, faster libraries, and polish throughout.
