Most reading apps track what you finish. Syntopica tracks what you actually understand — with concept mapping, quizzes, and narrative challenges.
How it works
Scan a barcode or search by title. Syntopica finds the book, adds it, and starts tracking your sessions with a built-in timer.
Key ideas are extracted and connected in a knowledge graph. Watch patterns emerge across books as your understanding deepens.
Quizzes enforce real understanding. The Story Engine poses narrative challenges that only yield to genuine comprehension.
Everything you need
Track time, pages, and mood. Sessions survive app backgrounding. See your stats grow over weeks and months.
Capture quotes, insights, reflections, and questions. Your reading notes in one searchable, portable place.
NPCs deliver problems drawn from your reading. Solve them to advance through narrative-driven campaigns.
Record voice notes for chapter synopses. Capture your understanding in the moment, not after it fades.
Read together with friends. Join parties, share progress, and discuss concepts in real time.
Leaderboards that matter. Rankings reflect verified understanding, not just pages turned.
