Really glad there’s finally a good book app out there, i’ve been waiting for something like this!” — scruffythejanitor01 “I love the UI of this app, easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. Also, I've been struggling getting back into reading and the screentime feature has helped me loads. I haven't been able to read this much since 4 years ago. Thank you Margins” — mitakaluvr “The search by vibes is so cool. I am a WWII buff, but this search popped up a two-book WWII saga I had never even heard of, much less read. It ended up being my top read of 2025.” —Michigancolt FREE TO USE Almost all features are free to use. An optional subscription unlocks premium features and priority support.

But with them, each of us is invited to leave our mark in the endless conversation between books and the people that love them.” — Excerpt from the Margins manifesto

Open your own EPUB, PDF, FB2 or text file — then ask about the page you are on and get an answer quoted from the book itself. Litra is a reader for the books and documents you already have, with Orb: an in-book companion that searches the real text before it answers. Ask "who is this character again?", "what did I miss last chapter?" or "explain this paragraph" — by typing, or by holding the orb and saying it out loud. WHY IT IS DIFFERENT Orb does not answer from a vague memory of the title. It searches and reads actual passages of the file on your device, then shows you where the answer came from. And in a novel, if the answer lies past where you have read, it asks permission first instead of spoiling it. ASK ANY PAGE • Type it, or hold the orb and speak — hands free while you read • Answers grounded in the book's own text, with the passage shown • Spoiler-free by default in stories: Orb asks before it looks ahead • Interactive recaps that walk you scene by scene and highlight each one • A separate chat per book, anchored to the passage you asked about • Orb can highlight, take a note or jump you to the right page READ ALOUD, OFFLINE • Ten voices ship inside the app — listening works on a plane, in a tunnel, with the screen locked • 0.5x to 3x speed, with the sentence lit on the page as it is spoken • Nothing to download, no internet needed to listen READ FASTER, ON PURPOSE • A guided pacer walks the words in place at the words-per-minute you set • The page turns itself as the pacer crosses it; tap to pause YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR FILES • EPUB, PDF, FB2 and .fb2.zip, TXT and Markdown — straight from Files or iCloud Drive • Scan a printed page with the camera and read it like any other book • Highlights in five colours, notes on any passage, bookmarks • Your books, highlights, notes and chats sync between your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud BUILT FOR THE PAGES THAT WILL NOT STICK • A page turn that behaves like paper • Light, dark and system themes, paper grain, type you control • Wider letter spacing for dyslexic readers, applied for you when you ask for it • A daily reading goal and a streak that counts honest minutes, not time with the app open ON IPAD • Turn it sideways and the book opens as a two-page spread, turned two at a time • With an Apple Pencil, underline a line, circle a passage or run down the margin to select it, then ask Orb SUBSCRIPTION Litra Unlimited is a yearly subscription that starts with a 7-day free trial; the price in your currency is shown in the app before you subscribe.

Payment is charged to your Apple ID at the end of the free trial. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before that period ends.

Terms of Use (EULA): https://trylitra.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://trylitra.app/privacy ABOUT YOUR DATA Your library lives on your device and in your own iCloud; we never receive your files. When you ask Orb a question, that question and the passages Orb needs to answer it are sent to our server and on to our model providers to produce the answer. We do not train models on your books. Read-aloud runs entirely on your device and sends nothing anywhere. The Privacy Policy above says exactly what goes where. Litra runs on iPhone and iPad. Questions, bugs, requests: hello@trylitra.app
