Depthopus, the Depth mascot

Read together.
Go deeper.

Reading alone is where good books go to stall. Depth pairs you with a denmate, locks you into the same book in real time, and turns finishing into something you do with someone.

Early access · no spam · unsubscribe anytime.

Early readers are already diving in.

No feed to scroll. No followers to chase. Just the depths, and someone down there with you.

The Partnership

You don’t read alone anymore.

Match with a denmate and lock into the same book, face to face in the app. Depth tracks exactly which section each of you is on, so the accountability is mutual — and quietly makes you show up.

  • One denmate per book — no diluted commitment.
  • See each other’s position, section by section.
  • Reputation grows from finishing together — never from quitting.
Focus Sessions

A synced timer that keeps you in the deep.

Start a session and both clocks run off the same server beat — rounds of focused reading, then a break to surface and talk. And it only counts if you actually read: proof-of-reading credit accrues at human pace, so skimming earns nothing.

  • Server-synced rounds so nobody drifts ahead.
  • Breaks for reflection and real conversation.
  • Anti-skim engine — attention is what counts, not elapsed time.
Built for depth, not doomscrolling

Everything a real reading habit needs.

No infinite feed, no vanity metrics — just the few things that make you read more, remember it longer, and connect it to what you build.

Collect ideas on every dive

Highlight a line that hits and it becomes an Idea — a treasure you carry back to your den, kept on your shelf and quietly shareable with the denmates you read alongside.

“The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he cannot distinguish the truth.”

The Brothers Karamazov · § 12

The living book trail

Depth knows where everyone is. You’re never alone at any point in a book.

Just ahead — “the next chapter reframes everything.”
Right here — readers at your exact page, no spoilers.
Just behind — a question someone left for you.

Reputation you earn, silently

No badges, no scores, no leaderboard. Trust builds from finishing and showing up — and pausing a book never costs you a thing.

Your den

People you genuinely read with.

Dive search

Search is a dive, not a glance.

One search reaches across your whole reading world at once — the library, the ideas you’ve collected, and the open knowledge of Wikipedia woven in as context. Type a thought; surface everything the depths hold about it.

  • Books and articles from the library.
  • Your own saved ideas, instantly findable.
  • Wikipedia woven in for the wider picture.
