Frequently asked questions
What is BriefBook?
BriefBook is a reading RPG. Each book in our library becomes a 6-minute quest — you read, answer a quick reflection, and earn XP, badges, and owl companions. It's designed to make reading a daily habit that actually sticks.
How do I start my first quest?
After creating your account, tap Daily Hoot on the home screen — that's your free book of the day. Read the 6-minute summary, complete the reflection, and your first XP is yours. You can also browse the full library to pick a quest by topic.
Is BriefBook free?
Yes — BriefBook has a free tier that includes the Daily Hoot (one free book per day), streaks, missions, community, and the ability to earn points and titles. Premium unlocks the full library, audio, Notebook, exclusive owls, and 2× points.
When does the app launch?
BriefBook launches on May 21, 2026 on Android (Google Play). iOS is coming later. If you're on the waitlist, you'll get an email the moment it's live.
What kinds of books are in the library?
We cover non-fiction — self-improvement, productivity, psychology, philosophy, business, science, and more. At launch we have 121 books, with new titles added every month.
What is the Daily Hoot?
The Daily Hoot is a free book quest available every day to all users. It resets at midnight. Complete it to earn XP, keep your streak alive, and contribute to your league score.
How do streaks work?
Complete at least one quest per day to extend your streak 🔥. If you miss a day, your streak resets to zero. You can earn Freeze Shields through missions — a freeze protects your streak for one missed day.
What are missions?
Missions are side-quests that reward XP, badges, streak freezes, and owl companions. There are daily missions (reset every 24h) and persistent missions (long-term goals like "complete 10 quests in psychology"). You can have up to 3 active daily missions at a time.
How is XP calculated?
You earn XP for completing quests, finishing missions, keeping your streak, and participating in the league. Premium members earn 2× XP on all activities. XP contributes to your level and league ranking.
What is the Reading Pact / Buddy feature?
A Reading Pact lets you team up with a friend to read the same book together. You both commit to finishing by a set date and earn a bonus badge if you both complete it on time. It's a way to make reading social and accountable.
What are owl companions?
Owl companions are collectable characters tied to BriefBook's lore. Each owl has a unique name, personality, and rarity. They appear on your profile, in missions, and in the league. Some owls can only be earned at specific times — like the Founding Owl, Ember, available only to waitlist members before launch day.
How do I get more owls?
Owls can be earned through: completing missions, spending earned points in the owl shop, receiving them as monthly theme rewards, or through Premium (which unlocks exclusive Premium owls). Some owls are limited-time and disappear forever after their event ends.
What is the Founding Owl (Ember)?
Ember is a special founding owl given exclusively to users who join the waitlist before May 21, 2026. Once the app launches, Ember vanishes forever and will never be available again. If you're reading this before launch day, join the waitlist to claim yours.
What are Premium owls?
Premium owls are exclusive companions only accessible to Premium subscribers. They're separate from owls earned through missions or points — those are available to all users. Premium owls are marked with a ⭐ in your collection.
How does the League work?
The League is a monthly competition where you earn points by reading quests, completing missions, and keeping streaks. At the end of each month the top players are promoted to a higher division, the bottom are relegated, and everyone earns rewards based on their final rank.
Is the League free?
Yes — the League is free for all users. Everyone competes. Premium members earn 2× XP so they naturally accumulate points faster, but free users can still climb the ranks through consistency.
What are the league rewards?
At the end of each month, top finishers earn exclusive badges, titles, and sometimes special owl companions tied to that month's theme. These rewards are only available to that season's top players — they won't return.
What does Premium include?
Premium unlocks: full library access (all 121+ books, not just the Daily Hoot), audio mode, Notebook (notes, tasks & quotes), exclusive Premium owls, 2× XP and points, and offline reading. Pricing: R$29.90/month or R$199/year (7-day free trial).
Is there a free trial?
Yes — Premium comes with a 7-day free trial. You can cancel anytime during the trial at no charge. The trial is available for the annual plan (R$199/year).
How do I cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions are managed through Google Play. To cancel: open Google Play → tap your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → BriefBook → Cancel. You'll keep Premium access until the end of your billing period.
What happens to my data if I cancel Premium?
Your account, XP, streak, badges, owls, and Notebook entries are all kept. You'll simply lose access to the full library and premium-only features. Your progress is never deleted when you downgrade.
How do I log in?
BriefBook supports login with Google or email and password. Use the same method every time to make sure your progress syncs correctly across devices.
My progress isn't syncing — what do I do?
First, check your internet connection. Then: close and reopen the app. If the problem persists, go to Settings → Account → Force sync. If it's still not working, email us at hello@mybriefbook.com and include your account email.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Settings → Account → Delete account. This permanently removes all your data including progress, owls, and badges. This action cannot be undone. If you have an active subscription, cancel it on Google Play first.
How do I turn off notifications?
You can manage notifications in Settings → Notifications inside the app, or through your Android notification settings. You can control streak reminders, mission alerts, and league updates independently.
