A reader for iPhone & iPad

Import sources.
Read for free.

Add the sources you trust, then search, read, and listen — all free. No account, no ads, and your books stay on your device by default.

The free tier enables up to 10 sources at once, with unlimited imports. A one-time Pro unlock removes every limit.

How it works

Three steps.

1

Add your sources

Import from a file, a link, or a QR code in seconds. Where sources come from is up to you — we don't provide or recommend any.

2

Find your next book

Browse Explore, or search by title or author.

3

Read, or listen

Typography adapts to your eyes; switch to read-aloud when your hands are busy.

Reading

Comfortable reading
lasts longer.

Typeface, size, line spacing, margins, and background all follow your eyes. Bookmarks, notes, in-book search, and reading stats stay within reach — and out of the text's way.

  • Opens TXT, EPUB, and web books — even large files
  • Bookmarks, notes, and full-text search
  • Two-page layout and sidebars on iPad
  • Reading time, streaks, and yearly records

Reading stats: today's time, streak, and charts
Read-aloud interface with highlighted paragraph and playback controls
Read-aloud

Rest your eyes.
The story continues.

System voices work offline out of the box; online voices sound more natural; on-device neural voice packs read fully offline. One book, one progress — however you switch.

  • System voices, ready offline with no network
  • Online voices and on-device neural options
  • Lock-screen controls, sleep timer, chapter playback
Our principles

No fine print.

No account · No ads

No sign-up, no login, no third-party ad or analytics SDKs. We don't watch how you read.

Your data stays on-device

Your library, notes, and stats live on your device. Optionally sync progress via your iCloud, and back up your library to your own WebDAV.

Pro is a one-time unlock

More enabled sources, batch validation, one-tap voice-pack downloads. The app reads perfectly well without it — this isn't a trial.

Your next book
is waiting.
