Everyone's connected. Almost no one feels read.

Ithaka is a text-only social app for writing and reading. No photos of
people, no reels, no filters. Just words, and readers who actually read
them.

A PLACE TO BE READ, NOT JUST SEEN

Most social apps reward how you look. Ithaka is a writing app that
rewards what you say. Every post is text on a full screen, one at a
time, so your writing gets read instead of scrolled past.

And we count readers, not likes. You see how many people actually read
what you wrote, which is the only number that ever mattered to anyone
who writes.

WRITE WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WRITE

Poems. Short stories. Journal entries. Shayari. Thoughts you typed at 2am
and never showed anyone. Ithaka is built for original writing, not
forwards, not status copy-paste.

If you've been looking for a writing app where poetry and stories get
read by real people instead of buried, this is it.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Daily Prompt
One line to start from, every morning. The hardest part of writing was
never the writing. It was the blank page. A daily writing prompt fixes
that.

Full-screen reading
Read one piece at a time, the way writing is meant to be read. No feed
noise, no autoplay, nothing competing for the sentence in front of you.

Read counts
See who read your writing, not just who tapped a heart.

Explore
Browse writing by category and find poetry, stories and journal entries
worth your evening.

Stickers
Decorate your posts with generated art. Words first, but your page should
still look like yours.

Repost
Pass on writing that deserves more readers.

Top Writers and Top Readers
Reading well is a contribution too, so we count it.

WHO IT'S FOR

Writers who'd never call themselves writers. Anyone with a Notes app full
of things they've never shown a single person. Poets, journalers,
overthinkers, people who write better than they talk.

And readers. If you're tired of content built to be glanced at, there are
people here writing things worth sitting with.

A DIARY THAT ISN'T ALONE

Journaling apps keep your writing private. Social apps make it
performance. Ithaka sits in between: write like it's your diary, but
someone reads it. That turns out to be the part people were missing.

WHY WE BUILT IT

We removed the photos, made the text full screen, and put the read count
where the like count usually goes. Everything else followed from that.

It's small right now, and honestly that's the good part. Post something
today and real people will read it.

Write one line. See who reads it.
