leef
Any book, made for the time you actually have.
leef reshapes any book into time-sized reading sessions that suit the moment you're in — a coffee break, a commute, a nightcap — and stops on a natural pause instead of the book's own chapters. No hurry, no pressure — just the good parts, wrapped up when you're ready to stop.
Focused reading for busy people.
Traditional reading asks you to fit your life around chapters. leef flips it. Tell it how long you've got, and it cuts the book into Reels sized to that slot, ending each one on a genuine narrative pause — a Beat — the way a good editor turns a film into episodes. When the author already left a natural break nearby, leef uses theirs; only in long, unbroken stretches does it find its own.
THE GOOD STUFF
A complete, considered reading app — built around the time you actually have.
TIME SLOTS
Pick a 5, 10, or 20-minute read for your commute or coffee break. leef makes it fit.
Ending Flavour
Where the author left no natural beat, choose how a Reel ends: a Landing (a clean, satisfying stop) or a Hook (a cliffhanger to pull you back).
Cadence
leef learns your actual reading speed as you go and tunes each future Reel to it, so a slot really is a slot.
YOUR LIBRARY
Import your own EPUBs, or browse and pull public-domain classics straight from Project Gutenberg.
Made to read
Eight typefaces, adjustable size and spacing, five page themes, and scroll or turn-page modes — set the page the way you like it.
Highlights & notes
Mark passages and attach notes. They stay anchored to the text — surviving restarts and even a re-cut into different Reels.
Light, dark & system
An app-wide appearance setting that follows your device or overrides it — separate from the in-reader page themes.
Beat quality, at a glance
A small dot on each Reel shows how natural its ending is — green for a strong pause, down to orange where leef had to make the cut itself.

Optional features powered by Apple Intelligence* — running entirely on your device, so your reading never leaves it.
Resume recap
Come back after a gap and get a short reminder of where you left off, so you're straight back into the story — handy when you last read on a distracted commute.
Chapter summary
Summarise a whole chapter on demand. leef reads it in passes and stitches them into one clear recap, entirely on-device.
*The AI features need an Apple-Intelligence-capable device (iOS 26 or later, iPhone 15 Pro / M-series or newer, with Apple Intelligence switched on). On other devices leef falls back to a basic, non-AI summary.
