Show HN: 静阅 means "quiet reading" – a calm reading app for bedtime
Hi HN,
I’m an indie developer and I built an app called *静阅 (JingYue)* because I wanted a calmer reading experience before bed.
Most reading tools push feeds, recommendations, endless scrolls and notifications. I wanted something that felt closer to flipping through a book — quiet, simple, and relaxing.
So I made 静阅:
• curated calm reading content — quotes, images, short essays
• dark and light adaptive themes optimized for night time
• no notifications, no algorithmic feeds, just relaxed reading
• designed to help you slow down your mind before sleep
The app is live on the App Store here:

It’s very early and opinionated; I’d love feedback — especially on UX for night time reading and content pacing.
Thanks!
