Immer, the intelligent reading app careers

At Immer we believe that the smartphone can be more than a jamming station in our hasty lives: an instrument that helps you to read more and deeper. That’s why we’re developing our reading app. And why we’ll never be done learning about readers.

We started Immer because we love both reading and technology. Two concepts that have gone hand in hand since the dawn of time: from rock paintings, clay tables en wood carvings, via papyrus and parchment, to Gutenberg’s printing press. To the supercomputer in your pocket that you rarely use to read books (for now), but constantly for short texts.

We noticed that people increasingly read less long and less deep, and often blame their phones and tablets. We get it! As 21st-century citizens of the world, we lead distracted lives with hardly any room to relax and sit back with a book. So we thought: Why couldn’t those devices help us to read?

Our mission
Our mission is to make people read more often, longer and in more places, with a superior reading experience. Because we believe that books are of great importance to humanity.

In our busy lives (and in our complex society!) it is essential to take time for ourselves. To have a place, a mode, in which you work on your personal wellbeing by diving into other people’s ideas, feelings and surroundings.

Deep reading, consciously and prolongedly immersing yourself in a story, whether it is to learn or to experience, is perhaps the easiest way to get into that mode. The written word is a unique ‘slow design’ that forces you to focus and contemplate. But you need to take the time for it!
