Why Callima
Made for people who love books
Your whole library, your way
Keep what you're reading, what you've finished and what's next. Make your own lists, save other readers' lists, and bring your Goodreads or StoryGraph history with you.
Progress without a spreadsheet
Log your page and watch your streaks, pages per day and month-by-month reading come together on their own.
Readers, not algorithms
Follow friends and see what they finish. Your next great read comes from people whose taste you trust, not a feed tuned to keep you scrolling.
Your local bookshop, one tap away
Every book links to Bookshop.org, so buying a copy supports independent bookstores instead of a warehouse.
Come help us build it
Callima is in open beta. Join on iPhone or Android, and tell us what you love and what feels off.
Enter your email on the home page, pick iPhone or Android, and you'll get your invite link right there.
iPhone: the link opens TestFlight, Apple's free app for beta testing. If you don't have it yet, you'll be asked to install it from the App Store first. Then tap Accept and Install.
Android: the link opens Callima's testing page on Google Play. Tap Become a tester, then follow the link to install it from Google Play. It can take a few minutes before Play lets you install.
Do I need an account?
Yes, and it's free. Sign up in the app with your email or phone number and confirm with a one-time code. No payment details, ever.
Can I bring my Goodreads or StoryGraph library?
Yes. During sign-up, or any time later from your profile, you can import a CSV export. Your shelves, reading dates, ratings and reviews come along.
From Goodreads: My Books → Import and Export → Export Library.
From StoryGraph: Profile → Import/Export → Export Your Data.
What happens to my email?
Joining the beta signs you up for the Callima newsletter. We use it to send beta news (new builds, what changed, and the occasional question for testers) and occasional updates about Callima. We never sell your email or share it for marketing. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
Your beta sign-up is separate from your Callima account, so you can use a different address for each.
What to expect
What does "beta" mean here?
The app is real and you can use it every day, but it isn't finished. You'll run into rough edges, the odd bug, and features that change from week to week as we ship updates.
That's the point: please tell us what's broken or what feels wrong.
How do updates work?
iPhone: TestFlight installs new builds for you if automatic updates are on, or you can tap Update in TestFlight. Each build expires after 90 days, and we ship new ones well before that.
Android: beta updates arrive through Google Play like any other app update.
Will my data carry over when Callima launches?
Yes. Your account, library and reading progress live on our servers, not only on your phone, so everything you add during the beta stays with you after launch.
If we ever need to reset data during the beta, we'll tell you first.
On iPhone you can also take a screenshot while Callima is open and choose Share Beta Feedback to send it straight to us through TestFlight.
What's most useful to try?
Anything you'd normally do with your books. We especially want to hear about:
Signing up and importing your library: did everything come across?
Finding books and saving them to To Be Read, Reading or Read
Making lists and browsing other readers' lists
Logging your progress and checking your stats
Anything slow, confusing, or just not quite right
There are no wrong answers. If something bugs you, it probably bugs someone else too.
Account and privacy
Is my data safe during the beta?
Yes. Beta or not, we treat your data the way we will at launch: passwords are hashed, all traffic is encrypted over HTTPS, and we don't sell or share your information. Read the Privacy Policy for the details.
How do I leave or delete my account?
Email help@daydreamsworkspace.org and we'll delete your account and all its data within 30 days. To stop beta emails, use the unsubscribe link in any of them.
Found something? Tell us.
Every bug report and idea makes Callima better for everyone. We read every email.
Daydreams Workspace ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Callima mobile app (the "App") and this website. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly:
Account information: username, email address and/or phone number, and password (stored as a secure hash).
Profile information: display name, biography, and profile photo (stored as a compressed image).
Reading data: books you add to your library, reading progress, ratings, reviews, lists, and tags.
Imported data: if you import a CSV from Goodreads or StoryGraph, we process that file to populate your library. The file is not kept after import.
Beta sign-up: if you join the beta on this website, your email address and which phone you use (iPhone or Android).
We also collect limited data automatically when you use the App:
Usage analytics: anonymised event data (for example, features tapped and screens viewed) collected via PostHog to help us improve the App. This does not include the content of your books or reviews.
Crash reports: device type, OS version, and stack traces collected to diagnose errors.
2. How We Use Your Information
To provide, maintain, and improve the App.
To send transactional messages, such as one-time codes for account verification and password resets.
To send the Callima newsletter to people who join the beta on this website: beta news, such as new builds and requests for feedback, and occasional updates about Callima. Joining the beta signs you up for it, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
To enable social features, letting people you follow see your public reading activity if you choose to share it.
To understand how people use the App so we can make it better.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your reading data to serve advertisements.
3. Data Sharing
We share data only with the services needed to run the App:
PostHog: anonymised usage analytics.
Resend: delivery of email verification codes, and the newsletter mailing list.
Twilio: delivery of SMS verification codes.
Cloud hosting providers: servers that store and process your data, located in the European Union.
All third-party providers are contractually required to protect your data and use it only to provide services to us.
4. Data Retention
We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. You can ask us to delete your account and its data at any time by emailing help@daydreamsworkspace.org; we act on deletion requests within 30 days. Beta sign-up emails are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove them.
5. Security
Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and never stored in plain text. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, though no system is completely secure.
6. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete the personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at help@daydreamsworkspace.org.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will tell you about material changes through the App or by email. Continuing to use the App after changes take effect means you accept the revised policy.
