Description
The all-in-one EPUB reader for iOS, built natively with SwiftUI. Fully customizable, fast, and designed to disappear so you can simply read.
YOUR BOOKS, YOUR WAY
Choose from 200+ built-in fonts or import your own. Adjust size, weight, line spacing, paragraph spacing, alignment, and hyphenation so your eyes never fight the page. Set different margins for portrait and landscape. Save per-book preferences so a textbook, a novel, and poetry each display perfectly every time. Override publisher styles when they get in the way. True edge-to-edge reading maximizes every pixel of your screen.
SMART DARK MODE AND EYE CARE
Read comfortably day or night. Dark mode uses intelligent image inversion so photos and illustrations stay natural. Adjust brightness right inside the reader without leaving your book. Built-in 20-20-20 eye health reminders suggest short breaks to reduce strain during long sessions.
POWERFUL LIBRARY, INSTANT ACCESS
Handle 5,000+ books with smooth scrolling and no lag. Search instantly by title, author, or series. Automatic metadata and series detection keep collections neatly grouped. 8 sort modes, saved filters, and tags pulled from EPUB metadata let you slice your library any way you like. Spotlight indexing opens books directly from your home screen.
NO LOCK-IN — SYNC YOUR WAY
justRead never locks books into a proprietary database. Point the app at any folder: iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or on-device storage. Manage everything in Calibre on Mac or PC, sync through your preferred cloud, and read on iPhone or iPad. Switch apps anytime — your books stay in standard folders, exactly where you left them.
A READING EXPERIENCE THAT FEELS NATURAL
Full EPUB 3 support for modern layouts, embedded media, and advanced typography. Swipe, tap, or scroll continuously. Jump with the Table of Contents or find any quote with full-text search. Built-in dictionary for instant lookups. Your position is auto-saved so you resume on the exact same line. RTL language support, screen rotation lock, and in-reader brightness control included.
HIGHLIGHTS, NOTES, AND BOOKMARKS
Highlight in 7 colors to separate quotes, study notes, and references. Add text notes to any highlight. Share passages, browse all highlights across books in one place, or export to PDF. Create bookmarks with custom titles and jump back with a single tap.
TRACK YOUR READING JOURNEY
A reading-by-hour heatmap shows when you read most. Monthly and yearly breakdowns reveal how your pace changes over time. Set daily goals at four levels and track streaks. A 30-day activity chart, milestone badges, and smart nudges keep you motivated. Finish a book and generate a shareable completion card with your stats.
WIDGETS THAT KEEP YOU READING
Currently Reading widget in small or medium size. Lock screen widgets for at-a-glance progress. Home screen rows for In Progress, Recently Added, and Finished books.
BUILT FOR IOS
Native SwiftUI, tuned for performance. Spring-driven animations and haptic feedback make every interaction feel tactile. Full accessibility built in: screen readers, voice control, Dynamic Type, and motion reduction all work automatically.
