ReadStream is a reading app for people who love books ā whether you read them yourself or listen to them read back to you. I built it because I was tired of losing my place in downloaded books and chapters, juggling formats, and never quite knowing where I'd left off. If that sounds familiar, this might be the app you've been looking for. What you can do with it: ⢠Import books and chapters in Word, EPUB or PDF format, organise them into series, and always come back to exactly where you stopped. ⢠Fetch chapters from sites like Royal Road or Project Gutenberg, keep them in your library, and pull in updates whenever new ones appear. ⢠Listen to your books read aloud ā useful when your eyes are tired, or when you'd rather just close them and let the story come to you. ⢠Save articles from the web and follow RSS feeds, so your long-form reading and the stories you track all live in the same place. ⢠Keep notes as you go, against any book or chapter, without needing a separate app to do it. ⢠Choose from a range of reading themes, including a warm paper mode that feels closer to an actual page than a screen. Most reading apps are built around content they want to sell you. ReadStream is built around content you've already found. Your imported chapters, your downloaded audiobooks, the serials you follow on Patreon or Royal Road ā it's all treated as first-class material, organised the way you'd want a proper library to work. Everything stays on your device. Nothing is chasing you for your attention. It won't suit everyone. If you want a shop, a social feed, or reading challenges with badges, this isn't that. It's a quiet app for people who just want to read. If your reading life is currently scattered across half a dozen folders and formats, ReadStream is one place to bring it home. https://dscreations.co.uk/readstream/support
