Foxycape – AI Reader Built for deep reading and learning. AI-powered, local-first, full-text translation—a smooth experience where every detail shows we care. Three core strengths Zero-hallucination AI Q&A: Every answer is strictly grounded in the source text, with one-tap trace-to-source. Full-text translation (AI-grade): Translate an entire book in one tap, paragraph-by-paragraph comparison, with terminology consistency that outperforms generic engines. Local-first, privacy in your hands: Data stays on your device by default; cloud is on only when you want it—you're always in control. Features in detail AI Q&A Fully faithful to the source, following a strict "zero hallucination" principle. Understands the full text semantically to answer your questions precisely—uncover concept links, implicit logic, and other details buried in the content. Every reply supports one-tap trace-to-source—tap the citation marker after an answer to jump to the original passage instantly; reading and lookup flow together seamlessly. Conversations can be exported to Word and Markdown for editing or use in other apps. Custom AI providers Built-in high-quality AI models (e.g. DeepSeek). Connect your own API key or local Ollama—pay for what you use, data stays on your device. Full-text translation Translate an entire book in one tap with exceptionally high-quality AI translation—better context awareness than traditional machine translation, with terminology consistency that beats generic translators. Inline comparison (paragraph-by-paragraph) and translation-only modes for seamless bilingual reading and learning. Listen Integrated TTS read-aloud—listen to ePub and PDF alike. The current word is highlighted as it's spoken, with clear pronunciation. Adjust speed and voice as you like. Bookshelf Batch import + auto categorization: import a folder in one step; categories are built from subfolder names, skipping tedious manual sorting. Reading experience, refined Instant loading: open and read with almost no wait. Infinite scroll: content before and after flows smoothly as you scroll—no manual page turns. Multiple layouts: continuous scroll, single page, two-page spread, auto pagination (calculated from screen width to make the most of your space). Fonts & themes: native fonts, one-tap switching; 5 background images, 6 themes (including dark mode)—comfortable reading at night. Image browsing: swipe or tap buttons to preview every image in the book. PDF highlights One-tap copy of original images: no screenshots—paste crisp assets into Word or any app. Background colors match your theme: no harsh white glare; PDF pages blend with the overall look. In dark theme, adjust PDF text brightness separately for extra eye comfort. Local-first, privacy you can trust All books stay on your device by default—this app does not upload your data on its own. Cloud sync is optional—you're always in control.

It bridges the gap between your mobile device and your desktop's local server, offering a seamless experience for developers and power users. IMPORTANT: This app is a connection tool only. It does not provide built-in AI models or generation services.

Our End-to-End Encrypted WebSocket relay service breaks through local network restrictions, allowing you to control your home server without complex VPN setups. AI Kanban Board More than just a chat interface. Nex-Bridge automatically parses task-related content from your agent's responses and organizes them into a visual Kanban board.

Native Performance Built with native iOS technologies, offering a smooth, responsive interface designed specifically for mobile task management.
