Why small habits compound
You don't need more time to read — you need a way to keep what you read.
MCP Integration
Chat with everything you've read.
Becoming has a built-in MCP server, so Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT — any AI assistant that speaks MCP — can read your highlights, sources, and notes, and even generate Themes and run Practices for you.
