东坡志
Read full descriptionHide full description
读一篇诗文,走近一个人的一生。 东坡志是一部关于苏轼的随身书。它把诗词文赋、一生的年谱和走过的地方放在同一处:从一篇作品读到一段处境,再从一段处境回到下一篇文字。 【今日】 每天读一篇,配上导读与山水画屏,也能继续上次的阅读。「旧日此时」按农历日期翻阅年谱记载;没有恰好同日的,就读最近的一天。 【一生】 从眉山到黄州,至惠州、儋州,再到常州。八个人生篇章串联作品、经历与时代背景,地图与年谱提供不同的阅读入口;重要人物的往来另有说明。篇章导读与古典原文分别呈现。 【诗文】 阅读苏轼的诗、词、文、赋,按文体浏览,也可检索诗题与文字。横排、竖排和简繁显示可切换。「风雨也从容」「月亮照见谁」等主题合集,把彼此照应的诗文连在一起读。原文保留底本异文与异体字,导读帮助理解作品的阅读背景。 【书房】 收藏篇目,记下读到哪里,写几行笔记。无需绑定手机号即可开始阅读;账号功能可将收藏、进度和笔记同步到自己的账号。书画与典籍另有阅读入口,《黄州寒食诗帖》《前赤壁赋》《木石图》等图版附馆藏著录、图像来源和观看提示。 【寻踪】 从一句诗、一座城、一位故人,或者某一年开始找。作品、地点、人物与年份提供不同的线索,把熟悉的诗句放回它的生活里。 问汝平生功业,黄州惠州儋州。愿你读到的不只是他的诗,还有写下诗的那个人。

You're on chapter 600. A name appears you half-remember. The wiki would spoil everything. StoryCodex is a smart novel reader that builds a live encyclopedia and visual Story Map of your story as you read. It tracks your progress and only remembers the events you have already reached. Stop choosing between losing track of the plot and getting spoiled by fandom wikis. LISTEN OR READ ANYWHERE Experience a polished core reading environment. Listen to your chapters aloud with high-fidelity neural voices including Supertonic, Kokoro, and Piper. Background playback, lock screen controls, and customizable reading views. No internet connection required. TAP ANY NAME, SEE WHO THEY ARE Tap a character name while reading to instantly view their profile: role, traits, power tier, and key relationships. Pulled strictly from chapters you have already read. Zero spoilers. No wiki rabbit holes. EXPLORE THE STORY MAP See characters, factions, places, and relationships as an interactive visual map. Follow alliances, rivalries, mentors, clans, sects, and shifting connections without exposing future events. The Story Map grows with your reading progress, so it stays useful and spoiler-free. YOUR STORY CODEX As you read, the local AI silently builds and updates your universe. Character profiles track names, aliases, motivations, and power progression. World building maps places, factions, cultivation systems, and items. Arc summaries break the full story into arcs, always spoiler-free. Chapter summaries log every chapter so nothing slips through. The codex carries across volumes, so your encyclopedia grows with the series. PICK UP EXACTLY WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Tap Previously before any chapter for an instant recap: the last few key events and a summary of recent chapters. Like a previously on for your novel. No reread, no spoilers, just back in the story in seconds. LOAD EPUBS OR WEB CHAPTERS Import web novels and light novels via EPUB, PDF, or plain text. Reading a multi-volume series? Save each EPUB as a volume under one series and share the same codex across all books. Paste a chapter URL from any public novel site to start reading and listening instantly. The built-in reader strips ads and clutter for a distraction-free experience. CONVERT WEB NOVELS TO EPUB Turn a saved web novel into a real EPUB for offline reading. Split long novels into volumes, each with its own table of contents, or keep one flat book. Missing chapters are downloaded first, then the finished EPUB lands in your library and is included in library exports and backups, so other reader apps can open it too. 100% ON-DEVICE. COMPLETELY PRIVATE. Your library and chapters never leave your phone. Local AI handles all analysis. No account, no external servers, no subscription required for core features. STORYCODEX PRO, OPTIONAL AND ONE-TIME For readers who go deep. Unlock advanced world-building analysis and the full interactive visual Story Map. One-time purchase, no recurring fees. Built for web novels, light novels, xianxia, LitRPG, and massive fantasy epics. Requires 6GB RAM or more for local AI models. Pro users on cloud AI have no device requirements. PERFECT FOR: • LitRPG, progression fantasy, cultivation/xianxia, isekai • Epic fantasy with huge casts (noble houses, guilds, sects) • Multi-volume series you read over months or years • Readers who take breaks and need quick recaps

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: StoryCodex at Free against 东坡志's $0.99. StoryCodex also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 108 months). 东坡志's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
