Voluta is where you read, watch, and play together. Books, films, TV shows, and games in one app, with real clubs and buddy reads for books, films, and TV. Log what you finish. Rate in quarter stars. Tag how it felt. Talk to friends without spoiling the ending. Get a monthly recap you'll actually want to share. READ, WATCH, PLAY Track books, films, TV shows, and games in one app. Scan any book's barcode to add it in a second. Bring your history with you: Goodreads, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, TV Time, Trakt, Steam, and your Kindle highlights. A cross-media Up Next queue tells you what to pick up next, across every medium. CLUBS AND BUDDY MODE Start a book club, a watch club, a buddy read, or a buddy watch. Chapter and episode-locked discussions so nobody spoils ahead. Vote on what to read or watch next. Shuffle a book or let us pick one at random, across all four club types. NEW RELEASE ALERTS We tell you when a book from an author you follow drops, when a show in your library comes back, when a film on your list opens, and when a game you want to play arrives. Books, films, shows, and games. Nothing goes past you. REVIEWS YOU CAN TRUST Spoiler-safe by default. Reviews blur, and you tap to reveal when you're ready. Reply and discuss without wrecking the ending. Rate in quarter stars, tag the mood, note the pace. Zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. WHERE TO WATCH Films and shows tell you where they stream, right on the page. No copy-pasting a title into a search bar. FIND YOUR NEXT "Like this" rails on every book, film, show, and game, so a favorite becomes ten more. Popular lists a film or show appears on. Your friends' recent loves, right on the explore page. REWIND A monthly and yearly recap of everything you finished, ready to share. Public share pages, minted and revoked per year. Not a year-end afterthought. A real story about your reading, watching, and playing life, every month. QUARTER-STAR RATINGS 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, all the way to 5. Because 3.75 is sometimes the truest answer. DEEP ANALYTICS Every stat, every genre. Filter by any period, not just a year. See where you land against every other reader, watcher, and player. Pin a chart you want to keep coming back to (Premium). Build your own chart from scratch (Premium). SESSIONS AND STREAKS Log a day you read, watched, or played. Streaks count every day you did any of the four, not just books. Rereads, rewatches, and replays counted, not overwritten. PREMIUM (SUPPORTER TIER) Support the app for $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year. You get six custom color themes, deeper analytics, pinned charts, chart building, a supporter badge, priority support, and every future feature we build. Cancel anytime. Core tracking stays free forever. INDIE AND WOMAN-OWNED Voluta is built by an independent, woman-owned studio. No investors. No AI companions. No algorithms optimized to keep you scrolling. One focus: making the tracker that treats readers, watchers, and players like real people. Got feedback? Email hello@voluta.app. A real person reads every message.

About

Linea Reader

Features
Read full description

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: • Import documents and URLs • Read PDFs, ebooks, Markdown, and more • Highlight passages and add notes • Listen from your current reading position • Ask document-aware questions while reading or listening • Keep reading progress and annotations together • 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.
