Im on a mission to create the best self hosted reading client alternative to Kindle and Apple Books

Hey everyone! i've been working diligently the last few months developing a free (no in app purchases, no ads etc) reading app with an extremely high level of polish and attention to detail. What drove me to make this was the locked in system of Kindle and other publishers, so this is a DRM free epub and pdf reader which integrates with calibre, book orbit(only through OPDS at the moment), Zotero, and more. I've previously worked as a product designer so this app is a reflection of what a perfect and well designed reading app should be. Aside from the user experience, i made sure to pack a lot of features in too and much more to come like audio-bookshelf support.

  • Opens EPUB and PDF, and turns MOBI, AZW3, Word, Pages and more into books
  • Browse your calibre library and download books right in the app
  • Zotero support for your papers
  • Keeps your place in sync with Kindle, Kobo, etc. via KOReader
  • Highlight, type notes, or draw them with your finger or a stylus
  • Every highlight and note from every book in one Notebook
  • Read aloud with a natural voice
  • Any paper color you want, and any Google Font
  • Page curl, like turning a real page
  • 70,000 free classics to download in the app
  • No ads, no in-app purchases and no account
  • On iPhone, iPad and Android
