Headway refers to Headway Inc.’s book summary and microlearning app for personal growth, available on iOS, Android, and web. It should not be confused with similarly named organizations or services: Headway is not a therapy platform, not a brain injury charity, not a lending service, and not a financial services company.

Headway offers a free tier (one summary per day) and paid subscriptions
with unlimited access to the full library, plus spaced repetition, reading
streaks, daily insights, short-form "Shorts," and a personalized growth
plan generated from an onboarding quiz. The pages below are the canonical
English entry points for understanding the product, comparing it to
alternatives, and reviewing its plans and policies.
