Every audiobook holds a world. For supported classics, Audivella's Story Atlas lets you see that world unfold as you listen. Discover illustrated character portraits, memorable places, revealed facts, and the relationships that connect them. Your Atlas grows only with the chapters you have listened to, so future characters and plot details stay hidden until their time. Open any person or place to explore a focused detail page with aliases, story context, revealed facts, connections, and their first appearance. When available, jump directly back to the moment an entry first appeared in the audiobook. Story Atlas is designed to make classic stories easier to follow without turning them into spoilers. It is especially helpful for books with large casts, changing locations, and relationships that develop over many chapters. Atlas works alongside Audivella's complete listening experience: - Spoiler-safe character and place discovery - Illustrated portraits aligned with each book's visual style - Character facts and relationship maps revealed through listening - Detailed person and place pages - First-appearance navigation - Chapter downloads for offline playback - Voice options, bookmarks, and saved progress - Background audio and system playback controls - Reading insights, suggestions, and reminders Listen naturally, reveal the story, and return to your Atlas whenever you want to remember who is who and how the world connects.

Linea is a calm reading workspace for difficult material. Import PDFs, EPUBs, MOBI files, DOCX documents, Markdown, images, scans, and web pages. Read with thoughtful typography, highlight and annotate passages, listen from your current position, and ask questions without losing your place. Your library stays organized around the work in front of you. Resume where you stopped, move between chapters, and keep your reading progress together. Features: โข Import documents and URLs โข Read PDFs, ebooks, Markdown, and more โข Highlight passages and add notes โข Listen from your current reading position โข Ask document-aware questions while reading or listening โข Keep reading progress and annotations together โข Choose from four reading palettes AI and your data: Linea uses AI only when you ask it to. It does not run your documents through AI in the background. Eligible signed-in Linea accounts can use Linea's rate-limited managed Ask without a personal API key: the question and relevant document context are processed by Linea, which may call an upstream model. For a user-owned cloud provider, Linea sends your question and relevant document context directly from your device to that provider using the API key you supplied; Linea's developer does not receive those direct-to-provider requests. When available and selected, on-device Apple Intelligence requests stay on your device. Linea is built for sustained attention: fewer distractions, better context, and a clear path back to the thread.
