We built what we couldn't find.
A warm space where reading and thinking live together. Where your books and your ideas finally have a home.
It started with frustration. Several of them, actually.
There was the note that disappeared.
Somewhere between the book and the notes app, between the copy and the paste, between the thought forming and the fingers typing — it vanished. A connection that felt important. An insight that might have been good. Gone before it ever existed on a page.
There was the stack of half-finished books.
Not abandoned because they weren't good. Abandoned because life happened, momentum was lost, and 400 pages started feeling like 400 impossible miles. The guilt of the unfinished pile, growing heavier with each book added.
There was the ugly workspace.
Gray interfaces. Sterile layouts. Software that treated thinking like data entry. Tools that worked but never inspired. Productivity apps that made you feel like a machine processing inputs, not a human wrestling with ideas.
And there was the endless switching.
Reader app. Notes app. Vocabulary app. Flashcard app. Habit tracker. Six tools. Zero connection. Every switch a tiny break in flow. Every context change a small death for whatever thought was forming.
We lived with these frustrations for years. Assumed they were normal. The cost of being a reader, a learner, a person who cares about ideas.
Then we wondered: what if they weren't?
What if there was one warm space where reading and thinking happened together? Where notes lived beside the books that inspired them? Where big content felt achievable, broken into pieces you could actually finish? Where the interface itself was beautiful — somewhere you wanted to be, not somewhere you tolerated?
We couldn't find it. So we built it.

The principles that shape everything we make.
Reading and Thinking Are One Act
The boundary between consuming and creating is artificial.
When you read something that matters, thinking happens simultaneously. The highlight you make is already a thought. The note you write is already a response. Most tools treat reading and writing as separate activities. We believe they're one continuous act of understanding.
Big Things Should Feel Achievable
Overwhelm is a design problem, not a discipline problem.
When a 500-page book becomes 50 small pieces — each finishable in ten minutes, each moving a progress bar, each a small win that compounds — suddenly impossible things become achievable. Small wins stack into big completions.
Beautiful Tools Create Beautiful Thinking
Your environment shapes your experience.
Light, color, texture, warmth — these things affect how we feel, and how we feel affects how we think. Sunset oranges that glow. Soft purples that calm. Gradients that breathe. When your tools feel alive, your thinking feels alive too. Yaumy isn't just functional. It's somewhere you want to be.
Learning Should Actually Stick
Information that fades isn't knowledge.
Learning tools should be built into the reading experience — not bolted on afterward. Vocabulary builders that capture words as you encounter them. Flashcards with spaced repetition that test you at optimal intervals. The goal isn't to consume more. It's to remember what matters.
Software Should Want You to Leave
We succeed when you close the app.
Yaumy is designed around completion, not engagement. Around finishing what you started, not scrolling forever. We succeed when you finish the book and go live your life. We succeed when you come back because you want to, not because we manipulated you.
We believe in focus. Here's what Yaumy will never become.
Not a social network
No public feeds, no followers, no likes. Deep reading needs solitude. Your library is yours.
Not AI that thinks for you
AI helps create beautiful themes. It doesn't summarize books so you don't have to read them. Your thinking is sacred.
Not gamification for addiction
Streaks exist to support your progress, not to manipulate your behavior. No anxiety-inducing notifications.
Not a content platform
We don't sell books. We don't have a store. You bring your own library. We help you experience it deeply.
The people behind Yaumy.
We're a small team of readers who got tired of compromising.

Founder portrait: warm lighting, books visible, approachable expression
For most of my life, I was drowning in things I wanted to finish. Books, courses, podcasts, projects — all half-open, half-done. Every undone thing whispered, "you didn't finish again."
Then I stopped. Deleted half of what I owned. Walked away from the noise. Made life smaller — and something beautiful happened. With fewer distractions, I started finishing things. The feeling of completing one thing fully outweighed a hundred unfinished starts.
That's why I built Yaumy. To help people like me — people who start big things but struggle to finish.

Small teams ship faster, care more, and stay closer to their users. We answer our own support emails. We read every piece of feedback. We use our own product every day.
Our approach to making things.
We Ship, Then Listen
We don't spend months perfecting features in isolation. We ship early, watch how people use what we build, and iterate based on reality.
We're Building in Public
Our roadmap isn't hidden. We share what we're working on, what's coming next, and where we're headed. Transparency builds trust.
We Optimize for Completion
Every feature we build, we ask: does this help someone finish what they started? If the answer is no, we don't build it.
The vision is bigger than books.
Right now, Yaumy helps you read books, take connected notes, track progress, and learn what you encounter. But we're building toward something larger. Videos. Podcasts. Articles. What if all of it could live in one warm space?
