Read it later, properly.

Land deliberately left to rest, and fertile when you come back.

Save an article and read it the way it deserves — no ads in the middle of it, no related links at the bottom, nothing counting how long you took. It works with no account at all, and it has never tracked anybody.

How it works See Fallow, the web half

On your phone

Fallow Reader

Articles and books, saved and read on the device. Highlights, bookmarks, a dictionary, read-aloud, seven reading themes. Public-domain books built in, and your own epubs welcome.

Fallow

A quiet place to talk about what you read, with people you actually know. No follower counts, no rankings, and no feed that never ends.

What it refuses

No account, unless you want one

Everything works signed out, permanently. An account adds syncing across your devices and the other people — it is not a gate in front of your own library.

No telemetry, ever

No analytics, no crash reporting that phones home, no attribution, no session replay. Not a setting — there is nothing in the app to switch off.

No streaks, no goals, no unread badge

The test we hold everything to: does it punish absence? Close the app for three months and nothing here gets worse. Your reading list shows how long something takes, never how far behind you are.

Nothing you cannot take with you

Your books and articles are files on your phone. Export works, always, at every tier — because a reading app you cannot leave has asked for trust it has not earned.

Accessibility is never behind a price

Themes, text size, contrast, spacing, read-aloud, screen reader support. Free at every tier, permanently.

Why you can believe it

Every promise above is easy to make and most reading apps have made one of them. What is different here is that the app does not need us.

Your library is files on your phone, in a plain database, with an export button. There is no server between you and your own reading, and there is no analytics code to remove because none was ever added. If this disappeared tomorrow, you would still have everything — which is a stronger thing than a promise, because it does not depend on us keeping one.
