Stop finishing books and forgetting them
Log what you read and capture the ideas while they're fresh — each Concept tied to the book and the page it came from. Months later, it's still findable.
Free, no card. Your data is yours.
“I keep buying books I never finish.”
A reading app counts pages.
Keep The Process tells you whether the pages are going where you said your life should.
What day zero looks like
Name where you are tonight, and the pace does the rest — a finish date computed from your own reading, not a guess.
- 1
Your first move
Name the book on your nightstand, the page you're on, and roughly when you started it.
- 2
The one question
What is this book for? Learning something specific, calm, pleasure, finally finishing what you start.
- 3
Your first receipt
At your pace, you finish by [date] — the day this book stops being a purchase and starts being what you named.
Log pages or log zero — zero is an honest answer, and the finish date only moves on the days you read. Sunday, your bilan reads the week against what the book is for.
What do you remember from the last book you loved?
You read it, you underlined the good parts, then it closed — and most of it quietly left. Your highlights sit in one app, your notes in another, and neither one connects to the rest of your life. Reading becomes a stack of finished covers instead of a body of knowledge you can return to.
What you can do with it
Keep the idea, not just the book
Capture a Concept the moment it lands — a definition, an argument, a line worth keeping — and KTP ties it to the book and the page range it came from. The next time you reach for it, the source is right there.
A library that knows where you are
Track books across statuses and log your reading sessions, so the shelf reflects what you're actually reading now, not an aspirational pile. Finished, in progress, set aside — an honest picture.
A searchable knowledge base, not a pile of highlights
Every Concept you save feeds a personal Index you can search and cross-reference. Ideas link to each other and back to their books, so a thought from one author can meet a thought from another.
Reading that connects to your life
A Concept isn't trapped in a reading silo. Because it lives inside the same system as your plan and your days, what you learn can inform what you're trying to build — instead of sitting in a folder you never reopen.
How it works
Backbone — decide what's worth keeping
Set up your library and the corners of life your reading feeds. You're not archiving everything; you're keeping what matters.
Effort — capture while you read
It takes seconds: log a session, save a Concept, tag the page. The noticing is the point, and it's small enough to actually do.
Vision — see the whole picture
Open the Index, search, cross-reference, and run a review. Months of reading become one connected, searchable body of knowledge.
More than a reading app
KTP is a whole-life alignment system, and reading is one corner of it. The Concepts you capture can tie into your life plan — so what you read points back at what you're building — and the daily capture habit lives alongside everything else you track. It all runs on one idea: keep the process. Deviating from your path isn't the problem. Not coming back is.

Your library, your data
Your library, your highlights, your Index — they're yours. Nothing is sold, nothing is mined, and you own your data. KTP is manual by design: you decide what's worth keeping, and the act of writing it down is part of how it sticks.
Free to start, Premium for the Index
Start free: log your reading and keep one corner of life with the daily 30-second loop and around three months of history. The Concepts Index — the searchable knowledge base, bidirectional linking, and cross-referencing — is the payoff, and it unlocks on Premium ($29.99/year). One 14-day full-feature trial, no card.

Is this just another Goodreads or StoryGraph?
No. Those track what you've read. KTP also captures what you learned — Concepts linked to the book and page — and turns them into a searchable Index you can use later.
How is the Index different from saving highlights in Readwise or Notion?
Highlights in a silo stay highlights. In KTP, every Concept is tied to its source and cross-linked to your other ideas — and it lives in the same system as your life plan, so reading connects to the rest of your life instead of sitting apart from it.
Do I have to import my highlights automatically?
No — capture is manual by design. You write down what's worth keeping while you read. It takes seconds, and the act of noticing is what makes the idea stick.
What do I get on the free plan?
The reading log: your library, statuses, and reading sessions, with around three months of history. The Concepts Index and cross-referencing — the knowledge-base depth — are part of Premium.
Is my reading data private?
Yes. You own your data, nothing is sold, and there's no scraping or syncing behind the scenes. What you keep, you keep.
One quiet note, when there's something worth reading
No drip campaign, no daily nudge. Just the occasional letter on staying aligned with what matters — the same idea the app is built on. Unsubscribe in one click.

Turn the books you finish into knowledge you keep — log your reading, capture the ideas, find them again.
