I built this for the nights 🌌 you read past the hour you meant to stop ⌛️ — for the words you wished you could keep, for the books 📜 that deserved more than a grid 🗂️ and a progress bar. I wanted reading to feel like something 
again. So I made Fathom 
. For you.
Built for readers who notice the details.
Every feature in Fathom exists because another app got it wrong.
Finishing a book deserves a moment.
When you read the last page, Fathom pauses. A dedicated screen appears — warm, unhurried — where you can rate the book, write your reflections, and attach a photo, framed like a polaroid.
Your library, the way it should look.
A beautiful translucent glass bookshelf for your collection — the view Apple removed from iBooks in 2013 and readers have missed ever since. Your books sit on the shelf exactly as they should: spines visible, covers rich.
A living library of words you've earned.
Every word you tap while reading gets saved to your own vocabulary collection. A study mode grounded in spaced repetition is coming — designed to make those words actually stick.
Words that know where they are.
Tap any word while reading and Fathom reads the sentence around it to surface the definition that actually fits. Hear how it's pronounced. Save it to your collection — all in one tap, without leaving the page.
Sleep is not a luxury — it is indispensable to every aspect of mental and physical health.
Absolutely necessary; that one cannot do without.
"Sleep is indispensable to mental health."
Your reading builds a universe.
Every day you read, your sky fills with hand-drawn doodles — birds and clouds on lighter days, stars and moons when you go deeper. Every one drawn by a real artist, by hand, on an iPad. Your sky is yours alone.
Set the mood. Stay in it.
Café murmur, rainfall, dark academia, white noise, and more — built right into the reading screen. No app-switching, no playlists. Just sound that fits the book you're in.
