A readable view layer for Notion

Your Notion looks broken
on your phone.

Cramped columns. Squished tables. Databases you have to pinch-zoom just to read. Readable rebuilds your pages into clean, scrollable, thumb-friendly views — without touching your content.

The daily papercut

Notion is built for big screens. Your phone disagrees.

Those tidy multi-column pages and dense databases? On mobile they collapse into a horizontal-scrolling mess. Here's the same page — before and after Readable steps in.

The same page, with Readable
What Readable actually does

One readable layer. Zero edits to your content.

Readable sits on top of your pages and rebuilds how they display on a small screen. Your data never changes — only the layout you see.

Columns that stack

Side-by-side columns gracefully reflow into a single readable thread — top to bottom, in the right order, every time.

Tables you can read

Wide tables turn into tidy, tappable cards — each row a self-contained block, no more endless sideways scrolling to reach column four.

Databases, decluttered

Board and table databases become focused, scannable lists — the property that matters first, the noise tucked away until you tap.

Instant, on-the-fly

No exporting, no rebuilding, no copy-paste. Open the page you already have and Readable adjusts it the moment it loads.

Read-only & safe

Readable never writes to your workspace. It only changes the rendering — your blocks, databases and history stay exactly as they were.

Built for thumbs

Comfortable type sizes, real line lengths, tap targets that fit a fingertip. Reading your own notes stops feeling like a chore.

How it works

Three taps to a page you can actually read.

01

Point it at a page

Open the Notion page that's giving you grief on mobile. No setup project, no migration — just the page in front of you.

02

Readable reflows it

Columns stack, tables become cards, databases simplify. It happens automatically, in the order your content was meant to be read.

03

Just read

Scroll down comfortably with one thumb. Tap a card to expand the details. Your content, finally legible on the device you carry.

“My second brain finally works on the device it lives on.”
— The whole reason we're building Readable
Questions, answered

Before you join the list.

Does Readable change my actual Notion content?

No — and this is the whole point. Readable is a view layer. It only changes how a page is displayed on your phone. Your blocks, databases, properties and edit history stay 100% untouched. It's read-only by design.

What exactly does it fix?

The big three mobile pain points: multi-column layouts that squish against the screen edge, wide tables that force horizontal scrolling, and dense databases that are impossible to scan. Readable reflows columns into a single thread, turns table rows into tappable cards, and declutters databases down to what matters.

Do I need to move my workspace or export anything?

Never. There's no migration and no export. You keep working in Notion exactly as you do today — Readable simply gives you a cleaner way to read the pages you already have on a small screen.

Will this work with my team's shared pages and databases?

That's a core target for early access. Shared docs and team databases are often the most cramped on mobile, so they're exactly the pages we want to make readable. Join the waitlist and we'll prioritise the setups our early users actually have.

When can I use it, and what does it cost?

We're validating demand and building toward a private early-access release. Waitlist members get in first and for free during early access. Pricing for the public version will be fair and simple — and waitlisters will hear it from us before anyone else.
