Padhak is a quiet, distraction-free corner of the library for your book club. Read the classics right inside the app, keep pace with your circle, write in the margins, and talk about every chapter without spoiling the ending for anyone.

READ TOGETHER • Start a book club with friends, or join a public club reading something you love • Choose the next book together and build a reading list • See how far everyone has read, at a glance

MAKE IT A HABIT • Set a reading schedule, chapter by chapter, with due dates • Get a gentle reminder when a reading is due • Keep a streak going on a calendar of the days you read, and earn badges along the way

READ THE CLASSICS IN THE APP • Thousands of free public-domain books open straight away • Comfortable reading in light, sepia or dark, at the text size that suits you • Add your own EPUB files — they stay on your phone; only the title and your progress are saved to your account

WRITE IN THE MARGINS • Highlight the lines that stay with you and add your own notes • See what your club marked, but only once you've reached that page

TALK ABOUT EVERY CHAPTER — SPOIL NOTHING • Start a discussion, reply, and react • Every reply shows how far its writer has read, so you know what's safe to read • Fold anything that gives the story away under a spoiler

FIND YOUR NEXT BOOK • Browse the most-loved free classics by genre and language • See which public clubs are reading them, and join the conversation • Suggest a book to your club; admins add it in one tap

A SAFER READING ROOM • For adults 18 and over; every account is verified by email or phone • Block or report anyone; club admins keep their own clubs in order • Your own books stay on your device, and we never sell your data
