Press - Darak

Darak is a daily nonfiction reading app for iPhone. Every morning, one book summary appears, paired with spaced-repetition flashcards that bring the ideas back on the days the brain is most likely to forget them. The free tier always includes today’s book plus two essential reads (Atomic Habits and Attached). The library grows by one book a day. Built solo, in France. The name is the romanization of 다락, the Korean word for an attic, the small warm room where things you care about live between visits.

About the founder

Darak is made by Alexis Leger, based in France. A lifelong reader, Alexis built Darak alone after walking past a small stationery shop in Seoul and wanting to make something that felt the way that window felt. The full design philosophy is on the craft page.
