Chromatics

Chromatics is a mobile reading application that presents classic novels with color-coded dialogue and synchronized audiobooks.

Chromatics is a reading application designed for classic literature enthusiasts who struggle with focus or complex character lists. Every character has a unique color for their names and dialogue, and a quiet banner displays the current scene, time, and speaker. Many books include curated LibriVox audio recordings matched to the text page by page for immersive reading. Users can save quotes with speaker colors and sync them to Readwise or Notion, or export them as CSV or Markdown files. The application includes over a hundred free featured classics and lets Pro users automatically generate color-coded editions from public-domain texts.
