How it works

Three steps, then twelve months

  1. 1

    Pick a mentor year, or name your own focus

    Follow the twelve books a founder, investor or thinker would hand you. Or name one thing worth a year and we build the year around it.

  2. 2

    Get the twelve books in order

    One book a month, sequenced from footing to fluency and sized so you can actually finish each one.

  3. 3

    Log the pages that keep you on pace

    We show the page you should be on today, so you always know how many pages keep the month on track.

Read it or listen to it

Log the page you are on, or the minutes you listened. Both count toward the same streak, with one tap links to Audible, Spotify and Apple Books.

Mentor years

Read the year a great mind would give you

Twelve books, one a month, drawn from what founders, investors and thinkers actually recommend. Start one as it is, or let AI build a year around your own goal instead.

Tap a spine to pull the book out, then drag to turn it.

Explore by skill

Pick a skill, not a shelf

No horror, no thrillers, no filler. Just the skills people actually want to master, each with a sequenced twelve book roadmap.

Build the system that makes the reading, and everything else, automatic.

Readers who finally finish

I had started forty books and finished four. 1bookamonth gave me a sequence and a streak, and I have finished every month since March.
Nadia R. · learning negotiation
The roadmap put the easy book first. That single decision is why I got through the hard one.
Tom V. · student pilot
I listen on my commute and it still counts. This is the only habit tracker that has ever stuck for me.
Priya S. · learning AI
One book a month sounded slow. A year later I know more about money than in the previous decade.
