You don't need to 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.

Dive into the classics, free.

Depth opens with the great public-domain works, Project Gutenberg's library, with covers made for the deep. Start with the books that have shaped how people think, at no cost.

Hold and save what strikes you.

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.

Stave 1

Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner!

Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.

The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red.

“Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.”— Stave 1
A solitary life breeds a cold heart.

Talk it through.

Every partnership has a quiet, book-scoped chat. Discuss the chapter while it's still fresh, react to what your denmate highlighted, and surface the ideas worth keeping.

A Christmas Carol
That chapter was intense.
What stood out to you?
“Hard and sharp as flint... secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.”

A solitary life breeds a cold heart.
Wow, yeah.
Makes you wonder what broke him first.

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. Streaks reward showing up, not skimming.
