Inkdrift: Graded Reader

Stop translating. Start reading. Inkdrift is a distraction-free reading experience for language learners. Tap any word for an instant definition, or hold a sentence for a full translation—without ever leaving your page.

Reading in a new language shouldn't mean constantly switching to a dictionary app, losing your place, and breaking your momentum. Inkdrift keeps you in the flow. Every definition is contextual, tailored specifically to what the word means in the passage you are reading right now.

Start immediately with our built-in starter books in Chinese, Spanish, and German. Explore simplified historical tales—from Heroes of the Marsh to The Sword of El Cid to Hansel and Gretel.

Already have your own reading material? Seamlessly import your own EPUB files to read whatever you like.

Consistency is the key to fluency. Set a daily reading timer (10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes) and read until the session finishes. Track your daily pages read, maintain your reading streaks, and unlock cumulative reading badges to celebrate your milestones as you go.
