How it works

Collect. Recall. Discover.

TrueFan turns the end of a story into a small, rewarding moment, instead of a dead end.

  1. Collect

    Search for a title and save it in seconds. Mark it finished, add an optional rating out of five (half stars too), and watch your shelf grow.

  2. Recall

    Take a short, optional quiz to relive the story and see what stayed with you. No timer and no rankings, just a private record of what you remember.

  3. Discover

    See the original book, adaptations, the rest of a series and related stories, or take a pick a friend handed you, then save the next thing to watch, read or listen to.

Finishing, rating and quiz results stay separate, so your shelf shows what you completed, what you loved and what you remember.

What's in the app

Built for people who love stories

Everything below is in the TrueFan beta on iPhone today, except where it says otherwise.

With friends

Share stories with the people you choose

TrueFan is private until you decide otherwise. When you want company, every title can be shared with exactly the people you pick, and there are no follower counts or rankings anywhere.

Each title can be Public, Followers, Close friends, Friends or Just me, and whole shelves can be hidden at once. You can report or block anyone. People aged 13 to 15 get a more private version, and TrueFan is for ages 13 and up.

How we build it

Quiet, private and accessible

TrueFan is designed to be calm and easy to use, including for people who don't think of themselves as good with technology.

  • No timers, streaks, rankings or leaderboards. Quizzes and ratings are always optional.
  • Private by default. Your library, ratings and notes are yours alone until you choose to share them, title by title. We never sell your data.
  • Accessible from the start. Larger text, VoiceOver, generous tap targets, text labels beside icons and Reduce Motion are all supported.
  • Honest labels. AI-generated quizzes always say so. "Official quiz" means a named creator wrote or approved it.
  • Respect for creators' work. We don't bundle copyrighted posters or artwork. Film, TV and book details come from catalogue services, credited in the app.

For creators

Questions from the people behind the story

Official quizzes are TrueFan's next step: authors, directors and show teams write or approve a short quiz about their own work, with a "Written by" or "Approved by" credit and a recorded source and permission. Each one is checked for accuracy and spoilers before it goes live.

Fans get a rare glimpse of how the creator reads their own story. Creators get closer to the people who finished their work, and a trusted route to new audiences through friends' shelves. The Official label is never for sale.

Are you an author? Open Creator Studio to claim your work and draft a quiz. Publishers and studios can email us about Official quizzes.
