The mediation of the serpent was needed: Evil can seduce a human being, but it cannot become human.

Every day, one line from the classics finds you. Underline the one that lands and it stays in your notebook. No endless quote feed. Nothing to catch up on.

Made for the space between one thought and the next.
The heart of Underscore
The line is not decoration.
It is the main character.
Every line keeps its author, work, original language and first publication year close. If it is translated, Underscore says so—and keeps the original one tap away.

From a certain point on there is no more turning back. That is the point to reach.

How it works
Read it.
Underline it. Keep it.
A line arrives. You underline the one that lands. It stays close for the day you need to find it again.
01 / Today
One line finds you.
A single line from the classics waits on today’s page. Read it and leave; there is no second line to chase.
One reminder only if it stays unread.
02 / Underline
Mark the one that lands.
Tap “Underline it” and the familiar red line draws itself beneath the words. One gesture turns a passing thought into something you can return to.
The pencil mark, made into one tap.
03 / Your notebook
Keep it. Find it again.
Your Notebook holds every line you underlined—not to collect more, but to find the right one when you need it.
Three saved lines are free. Plus removes the limit.
