The Desk

Where you start each day.

Your eWPM with a line showing your trend. A reading consistency strip, neutrally framed and always optional. The text you left open yesterday. And any active retention checks.

Simple, easy to navigate and designed not to overwhelm you.

The Study

The home for everything Volumes has made for you.

The Reading Room: hand-selected public-domain texts with comprehension questions written by a human, not generated. Start with the Stoics, with new texts added regularly. Free users get a core library. Pro users get everything as it's added.

How Volumes Works: six short essays on the reading science behind the app.

Coming late summer 2026: The Bookshop, a small, hand-picked collection of texts worth reading. And The Circle, a social space for readers who want to talk about what they've read.

The Ledger

How you've been reading, plotted honestly. Speed, comprehension, eWPM, week by week. Personal bests with the date and the chapter that earned them.

No leaderboards. No comparisons to other readers. No "you're in the top 4%" theatre. The Ledger is yours, not for sharing (unless you want to!).
