Galley is a native EPUB editor for iPhone and iPad. Create new EPUBs from scratch, import EPUB 2/3, Word (.docx), or Markdown, and export polished packages — without a desktop. Full EPUB editing Edit chapter text with a rich WYSIWYG editor or jump into XHTML/CSS code view (Pro). Align paragraphs left, center, right, or justify from the formatting toolbar. Manage metadata, cover art, images, and table of contents. Reorder chapters. Validate before you publish. Import Word & Markdown (Pro) Bring a .docx or .md manuscript into Galley — chapters split on headings, with lists, tables, links, and images preserved where the format allows. Open from Files, Open In, or drag and drop on iPad. Built for authors and EPUB fix-ups Write, format, and export a standards-oriented EPUB 3 file ready for your distribution workflow. Catch broken links, package issues, and common content problems with the built-in validator. Export a validation report as text or PDF when you need a shareable checklist. Chapter management Add, rename, reorder, and delete chapters. Keep spine and navigation consistent as your book grows. Find and replace across all XHTML (including nav). Batch-edit metadata across selected library projects (Pro). Rich text + code (Pro) Toggle between WYSIWYG editing and syntax-highlighted source editing. On iPad, use split view for code and preview. Go-to-line and in-file search help you move fast. Metadata & cover Edit core Dublin Core fields, pick a cover, and keep OPF cover metadata in sync. Pro adds an OPF source view for package XML. Validation & export Run structural and content checks, jump from issues to the right file, and export EPUB 3 via Share Sheet. Pro unlocks full validation, auto-fix, EPUB 2 export, PDF and DOCX export, and validation report export. Optional image compression is available on supported exports. Apple Pencil markup (Pro) Annotate in markup mode with PencilKit. Sidecar annotations travel with the project; export an Annotations PDF when you need a review pass. iCloud Drive sync (Pro) Optionally sync your project library to iCloud Drive — your files, your Apple ID. Restore on another device when you’re signed in. Pro+ templates, CSS & cleanup Start from writer-shaped structural templates (Novel, Cookbook, Poetry, Textbook, Memoir, Short Stories). Advanced CSS tools let you create and delete stylesheets with package and chapter link sync, light lint, and class suggestions. Clean Up Book runs safe, on-device batch fixes across chapters and stylesheets — whitespace, trailing spaces, safe entities, optional empty alt and indentation, plus OPF language/identifier fills. Offline & private Core editing works offline. Manuscripts stay on your device unless you export or enable sync. No account required. No third-party analytics SDKs. Crash and usage analytics are opt-in and off by default. One-time purchase Free tier: core editing with a 3-project library. Galley Pro ($9.99, one-time Non-Consumable) unlocks unlimited projects, code view, TOC tools, image tools, full validation, EPUB 2/PDF/DOCX export, DOCX/Markdown import, Pencil markup, batch metadata, and iCloud Drive sync. Galley Pro+ ($4.99, one-time; requires Pro) adds project templates, Advanced CSS tools, and Clean Up Book. No subscription. No in-app ads. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Galley Pro | $9.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 4 releases) ### 1.3 — 2026-08-12 Galley 1.3 — Pro+ power tools • Clean Up Book: batch-fix whitespace, trailing spaces, safe entities, optional empty alt & indentation, plus OPF language/identifier fixes • More Pro+ templates: Memoir and Short Stories structural seeds (alongside Novel, Cookbook, Poetry, Textbook) ### 1.2 — 2026-08-11 Galley 1.2 — polish for writers • Paragraph alignment: left, center, right, and justify in the WYSIWYG toolbar • Pro+ project templates: Novel, Cookbook, Poetry, and Textbook structural seeds • Pro+ Advanced CSS: create and delete stylesheets with OPF + chapter link sync, lint, and class suggestions ### 1.1 — 2026-08-09 Galley 1.1 — more ways in, more ways out • Export PDF and DOCX (Pro) • Import Word (.docx) and Markdown (Pro) • Validation report export (text + PDF) • Optional image compression on export • Find & replace across all XHTML • Batch metadata editing in the library • Apple Pencil markup + annotations PDF ### 1.0 — 2026-07-29 No release notes. ## More apps by Tung Ngo - [Symposium: Calibre Companion](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/symposium-calibre-companion/id6789605369) - [Marble: EPUB & PDF Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/marble-epub-and-pdf-reader/id6790080796) All apps by Tung Ngo: https://appshunter.io/developer/899052369 ## Related topics [epik editor ia](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/epik-editor-ia) · [hemingway editor](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/hemingway-editor) · [reedsy book editor](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/reedsy-book-editor) · [epik editor](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/epik-editor) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
