Too busy to read? This app summarizes books for you — and it’s only $50 for life
TL;DR: Use code READ20 to score Headway Premium, the app that makes daily reading fun and sustainable, for just $47.99 (reg. $299.95).
If you’ve ever wished you could get the key takeaways from popular nonfiction books without committing hours to read each one, Headway might be worth a look — especially while it’s on sale for only $47.99 (reg. $299.95) with code READ20 for a lifetime subscription.
What’s Headway? It’s the app that makes daily reading possible, thanks to its gamified design (which is very motivational) and its library of thousands of titles, which it distills into 15-minute reads that are accessible right from your phone.
You’ll find summaries of titles in productivity, business, self-improvement, psychology, and more. You can also opt for the audio option if you’d rather listen to them while commuting or cleaning up around the house. The app also includes personalized learning paths and spaced repetition tools, which can be useful if you’re trying to build new habits or retain key concepts from books.
The subscription gets you lifetime access to the premium tier, meaning no monthly fees, and there’s new content added regularly so you can keep learning. It’s available on iOS and Android and comes with a 4.4-star rating on the App Store from over 60,000 users.
This kind of app isn’t for everyone — it won’t replace the depth of a full book or the joy of leisurely reading. But if your to-read list is longer than your calendar allows, or you’re looking for a way to sample a book before committing, it could be a time-saver.
And while there are other summary apps out there, many charge ongoing monthly fees or limit content without a subscription. With Headway, you’re getting full access for life, for less than what most platforms charge in a single year.
It’s not clear how long the discount will last, but you can grab this Headway lifetime subscription for just $47.99 (reg. $299.95) when you enter coupon code READ20 at checkout — that’s less than the cost of a few hardcovers.
