Read full description

Follow, read, and revisit serialized stories in one app with Serialist. Bring novels from different websites into one library, keep your place, and make the reading experience your own. • Cross-site search and update tracking: Search supported sites by title or author, or add a novel using its book-page URL. Check new chapters, filter updated books, and pick up where you left off. • Multiple sources for one novel: Combine chapter lists from different websites. Check source status and switch while reading; if a chapter fails to load, Serialist tries available alternatives. • On-device AI chapter insights: Use Apple Intelligence for a summary of the current chapter, a recap of a selected earlier chapter, or possible future developments based on clues in a selected chapter up to your current reading position. Processing happens on your device. Predictions may differ from the original story. Requires a supported device and language, Apple Intelligence enabled, and the system model ready. • Reading your way: Adjust font, text size, line and paragraph spacing, and margins. Cycle through reading colors or customize text and background colors. Includes Traditional/Simplified Chinese conversion, left- or right-handed tap paging, immersive mode, and a searchable chapter list within the reader. • Read aloud and auto-scroll: Listen to stories or let the text scroll at your chosen speed. Optional continuous playback moves on to the next chapter automatically. • Offline reading: Download selected chapters in advance and manage offline content and storage in one place. • Reading achievements: Track completed chapters and reading streak milestones, with Game Center achievements. • Backup, restore, and iCloud: Export your library and reading progress, choose merge or replace when restoring, and sync between your own devices with iCloud. • iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo: Library and chapter navigation adapt to the available space, with a focused reading screen. In-app tips are an optional way to support development.
