KernelBook summaries, chapter by chapter
Remember every book.
You finish a book. A month later you remember one idea. Kernel keeps the rest: every chapter in plain words, to read or to hear.
iPhone, iPad, Mac and the web. Free and open source.
The Art of War
A sample, three chapters. Press Play to hear it.
The real reader, running on this page. Covers from a real reading list.
Three steps.
01
Bring your books
Photos of the pages, an EPUB or PDF, your Kindle and Readwise highlights, or your Goodreads shelves.
02
Get the kernel
Each chapter becomes a short summary in plain words: the ideas, then the takeaways.
03
Read it or hear it
One narrator explains each chapter, in English, French, Spanish or German. Download a book and it plays offline.
On your iPhone.
Your Goodreads, with the ideas back.
Sign in on Goodreads' own page inside the app and your shelves come along: what you are reading, what you have read, what you want to read. Books you finished but never summarized wait in their own row, so the next one is obvious. Your Goodreads login stays on your device and never reaches Kernel.
Keep every chapter.
Your summaries stay in your account. Nothing is public unless you share it.
