Reading for Everyone

Mars Theory builds neuro-inclusive tools like Lanternway, an all-ages reading tracker, and connects people to the community resources that make learning possible for all.


Meet Lanternway

Free for readers, always. No ads and no paid upgrades.

No pressure. No streaks, no leaderboards, and no nagging.

Private for kids. Nobody outside your family can see your reading, and there’s no way to message other readers.

Easy on the eyes. Built with Lexend, a font designed with struggling readers in mind, plus calm colors and adjustable text.
