About

ArtiStanza Reader brings the ArtiStanza library of poems and short stories to Android. Verse is set with every line break left exactly where the author put it, in a members-only library you sign in to. Saving a work keeps a copy on the phone, so a poem still opens on a train with no signal. There are no ads and no tracking, and nothing you read is handed to another app.

Reading

• Poems and short stories in English, Hindi and Nepali
• Line breaks, stanza spacing and Devanagari preserved as written
• A Key List of moods across the top of the feed, to read by feeling rather than by search
• Works carry their author byline, and open straight into the text
• Pull to refresh for new work

Offline Reading

• Save any open work to the phone; it is stored in the app's private storage and opens with no connection
• A Saved offline shelf lists everything you kept, with remove and clear
• Saved works survive a restart, and are cleared when you sign out
• Writes are temp-then-rename, so a half-written file is never left behind

Reading Dashboard

• Time read - all time, today and this week
• Current day streak and your daily totals
• Mood tallies built from what you actually read
• A session counts once it passes five seconds, so a mis-tap is not counted
• The whole log lives on your device and is never sent to the server

Kept Private

• No advertising, no analytics, no advertising identifier, no cross-app tracking
• Published work is protected from screenshots and screen recording
• No share, copy or export path for verse, which protects the authors you read
• Backup and device-to-device transfer are excluded for the app's private data

Your Account

• The library is members-only: sign in or create a free account
• One session token is kept in secure storage, guarded by the Android keystore; nothing else is persisted
• Your email, handle and display name are held by the ArtiStanza platform at artistanza.com
• Ask for a copy of your data, or for deletion of your account, by email

Requirements

• Android 8.0 (API 26) or higher
• A free ArtiStanza account
• An internet connection for the library; saved works read offline
