Our story

Built for readers.
Built for writers.

ARIF.today exists to close the distance between the people who write books and the people who read them — without a traditional publisher standing in between.

Why we started

Independent authors and small publishers do extraordinary work, but reaching readers often means giving up most of their royalty to platforms that treat books like just another SKU. At the same time, readers who want to support the writers they love are stuck choosing between a handful of dominant storefronts.

We built ARIF.today to change that balance. Publishers keep the majority of every sale. Readers get a beautifully simple way to buy individual titles or subscribe for unlimited reading. And everyone — reader, writer, and platform — can see exactly how the numbers work, because we don't hide them.

We're a small, independent team. No investors telling us to prioritise growth over fairness. Just a platform trying to do right by the people who make books happen.
