What's New in Glyph
1.2.0
August 1, 2026
The Store is live. Browse books, comics, and documents by genre, author, or series, and send anything straight to your library. Everything you can download today is free and public domain, with more to come. Series pages, author pages, and recommendations are all in there, so one good book leads to the next. Quiz yourself on any book. Ask Rune for a quiz on a whole book, the chapter you're on, or only the part you've read so far. Choose how many questions you want and whether they follow the book's order. A wrong answer shows you the right one, explains it, and names the page and paragraph it came from, so you can read the full passage or jump straight to it in the book. At the end you get your score, a breakdown by topic, and a study guide built around whatever you need to brush up on. Quizzes are saved in your Rune history, where you can retake one or share it so someone else takes the same questions. Rune answers faster. Rune now reads ahead while you do, so questions about your book are answered right away instead of pausing to gather context first. Leave a book open on Wi-Fi and it works through the whole thing, so even jumping to a later chapter answers instantly. Also in this version: Search your settings. Tap the search icon at the top right of Settings and type what you're after to jump straight to it, instead of hunting through the sections. Reading status chips in your library: Want, Reading (or how far in you are), Finished, or Archived. A guided walkthrough for quizzes, plus a Back button on every walkthrough card. Filter your Rune history by type to see just your asks, summaries, or quizzes. The Rune menu in a book is now three clear choices: Ask, Summarize, and Generate. You can start an ask from your library without opening the book. Fetching a book's details now answers from the Glyph catalog first, so a book in your library gets the same title, publisher, series, and cover art the Store shows. Book covers open instantly on the Store's book pages instead of waiting on a blank placeholder. Large library updates after installing a new version show progress, resume if interrupted, and can keep going in the background. Chapter titles, table of contents page numbers, and chapter taps in scroll mode are all more accurate. Book covers in the home screen widget are now all the same size.
