Description
A full book can take weeks to finish when you only have a few spare minutes a day. Headway Premium condenses bestsellers into 15-minute summaries you can read or listen to, and a lifetime subscription is $55.99 with code DEAL20 (reg. $299.95) unti Nov. 15.
Headway now includes fiction titles alongside its nonfiction summaries, and new summaries arrive every month. Each one pulls out the key ideas from a bestseller in text or audio, so you can learn during a commute or a lunch break. A summary won’t replace the original book, but it gives you a clear sense of a book’s main ideas and helps you decide which ones to read in full.
Headway also turns learning into a daily habit. After you choose a goal, the app builds a step-by-step plan and lays out related topics as a skill tree you can explore. Quizzes and streaks track your progress, and highlights you save become flashcards you can review later with spaced repetition. For evenings, a Screen Locker blocks distracting apps, and a sleep timer lets you fall asleep to an audio summary.
