EPUB, TXT and PDF. Here AI does the humblest work: turning books you couldn't read — or couldn't get through — into books you can.
Translate a whole chapter in one tap and read it in place of the original — switch back anytime. Great for reading across languages.
Neural text-to-speech reads the whole book: live sentence highlighting, speed control, sleep timer, background and lock-screen playback. You can even listen to a translated edition.
One tap turns a scanned PDF into clean, reflowable text — translatable, listenable, quotable. Old and out-of-print books become real text again.
Books auto-match Goodreads ratings and covers (Douban for Chinese titles). Local shelf and remote libraries (SMB / WebDAV) in one place.
Pick a book from your shelf. Your pals study it first — chapter notes, plot threads, foreshadowing — then present it in the style you choose.
Opens with the single most gripping thing in the book and hooks you in. Never spoils the ending — the suspense stays yours.
A literary deep-dive: foreshadowing, irony, symbols, the architecture — everything you missed the first time.
Two pals with genuinely different takes push, counter and build on each other. Nobody wins — that's the fun.
15-minute episodes split along natural chapters, released as you request them, until the whole book is told.
Before a single episode, the whole book is studied chapter by chapter. Scripts only draw on the text — no confident making-things-up.
Pick the host from your pal circle; voices are swappable with preview. Playback starts while later parts are still being made.
Background playback, lock-screen controls, speed, sleep timer, and a floating mini-player that stays out of your way.
Regenerate any episode with your own notes — "more about the ending", "go deeper on that character".
"Three thousand strangers' comments are no match for one kindred word."
A handful of opinionated reading pals follow your shelf — posting, reviewing, and arguing with each other. They give two stars when a book deserves it, and pick real faults with classics. Their opinions never drift.
Highlight a passage that moves you and say a few words — your reading companion chats back like a friend texting. They've read the whole book but never spoil past where you are.
Co-reading defaults to voice input: hold to talk, release to send. A sigh over a sentence shouldn't require typing.
Your highlights, comments and chats teach your pals your taste — they get better at talking with you, and never presume to judge you.
No sign-up, no login. Your books, highlights, chats and everything your pals write live only on your device. We run no servers — there is nothing for us to collect.
AI features use your own LLM API key (any OpenAI-compatible provider). Content goes straight to the provider you chose — we never see it. A few dollars of credit typically lasts months; one AI deep-dive costs about a cent.
Reading, translation, listening and the library all work free, no key needed. The AI pals are the icing, not the ticket.
