## What is TextLayer Reader?

TextLayer is a local-first EPUB reader designed for dialogue-heavy books.

  It helps you keep track of who is speaking by adding optional speaker labels to lines of dialogue, making long
  conversations easier to follow while you read.

  Everything is built around privacy and local control:

  - Import your own EPUB files
  - Read and organize books on your device
  - Use your own AI API key for optional speaker annotation
  - Keep book content, settings, and annotations on your device

  Key features:

  - Local EPUB library with fast import and reading progress
  - Reading Now and Library views for quick resume
  - Optional speaker labels for dialogue clarity
  - On-device, local-first workflow with no required account
  - Custom AI endpoint support using your own provider credentials
  - Adjustable reading appearance and themes
  - Local backup and restore for settings and library metadata

  TextLayer does not provide book content. You import your own EPUB files and control your own reading data.
