## What is Turner?

Your books and saved articles, ready to read or listen.

Turner brings DRM-free EPUB books and pages you want to finish into one calm library. Import your own books, share a page from Safari or paste a link, then keep saved articles available for offline reading.

Listen your way
• Turn any book or saved article into speech
• Choose from the system voices available on your device
• Adjust speaking rate and narration volume
• Move by paragraph or chapter and see your progress
• Keep listening in the background and from the Lock Screen
• Set a sleep timer or add an optional calming soundscape

Save it for later
• Build and reorder an article queue
• Continue into the next queued article while listening
• Mark articles as read, archived or DNF without losing them

Read comfortably
• Light, dark, sepia and system themes
• Adjustable fonts, type size and line spacing
• Search across the full book or article
• Highlight passages and jump straight back to them
• Track reading and listening time separately

Bring your own library
Import EPUB files from Files or a direct link, or browse Calibre and other OPDS catalogs. Search and sort your library, add ratings and keep optional notes for archived and DNF items.

No Turner account is required. Imported books, saved articles, reading positions, highlights, ratings and reading history are stored on your device. Turner is free with ads; Turner Pro removes them.

Turner does not include or sell ebooks. Import DRM-free EPUB files that you own or have permission to use.
