Blinkist is a learning app founded in 2012 in Berlin. The Australian learning company Go1 bought it in 2023.
The app turns nonfiction books into short summaries called Blinks, which take about 15 minutes to read or listen to. Topics include business, psychology, health, history and personal growth. Users build a library, get daily picks and highlight passages. Shortcasts summarise podcast episodes in the same way.
A small amount of free content is offered each day. Full access is a subscription with a free trial.
