Every detail crafted for the pleasure of reading.

Historia was built to restore serenity to digital reading: an interface that fades away while you read, visual themes that protect your eyesight, and your EPUB & PDF books always safely preserved.

Immersive Mode: the interface that disappears

When you immerse yourself in a story, menus, toolbars, and buttons gently fade away to leave your screen pristine. Turn pages with your keyboard, scroll wheel, or a simple click, accompanied by Literata typography calibrated to eliminate eye strain.

Zen Reading Mode: absolute concentration with zero screen clutter.

Comprehensive support for EPUB novels and PDF documents.

Adaptive themes (Day, Sepia, and Obsidian Night) tailored for eye comfort.
