## What is Tropos?

Tropos does not measure your reading. It keeps you company.

No yearly goals, no streaks to protect, no leaderboards. You add a book when you start it, and come back to log a session when you have read. Each session records the page you reached and four things almost nobody writes down: where you were reading, at what pace, in what state, and what weight that text had for you.

Over time those notes become a record. Sessions gather by month, and the gaps between one month and the next tell you how continuous that reading was, without you having to count anything.

What it gives back, for free
For each book, Tropos shows the value you recorded most often in each dimension, and out of how many sessions. Counts, not interpretations.

Tropos AI
With a one time unlock, no subscription, Tropos reads those notes and tells you about them: a reflection on the book you are reading now, a narrative memory when you close it, and the patterns that surface between one book and the next.

Each of the three is free to try once, so you can see it on your own reading before you decide.

It runs entirely on your device with Apple Intelligence. Nothing is sent to a server, not to us and not to Apple.

Your data is yours
No account, no servers of ours, no third party analytics. Everything lives in your own private iCloud and syncs across Mac, iPhone and iPad. You can delete all of it whenever you want, from Settings.

Tropos AI is bought once and works on Mac and iOS together. It requires a device with Apple Intelligence: where that is unavailable, the feature does not appear.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-15

You can now try the AI before buying it.

Each of the three AI features gives you one free generation: a reflection on the book you are reading, the narrative memory of a book you have closed, and the patterns that surface between one book and the next. One each, no purchase and no account. You see what you would be paying for, on your own reading.

The AI needs a device with Apple Intelligence. Where it is not available, these features do not appear at all and nothing is offered for sale. If you turn Apple Intelligence back on, Tropos notices straight away, with no restart.

Fixed: with no connection, your library could say it was empty instead of telling you that you are offline. On iPhone and iPad it could also invite you to add your first book while your books were still arriving from iCloud, which is the one moment that suggestion is wrong.

"So far" now asks for four sessions on a book instead of three. With three there are only two intervals between them, and two intervals are a line, not yet a shape.

You can now contact support from inside the app.
