It was made for people who are a little too online. Every choice serves calm: you choose when you are done, no-one else. Nothing is ever judged, and when you finish, a breathing light gently suggests this might be a good moment to look away from the screen. • No scores, no timers, no judgement — ever • 464 real public-domain books to arrange.
