Librosy is a calm, beautifully made iOS reader for people who read closely, not fast — and want to keep what their books leave behind. Any format EPUB, FB2, PDF, TXT, Markdown, HTML, RTF — one beautiful reader for everything you read. Highlights with color Long-press, drag, pick a color. Your quote is saved — and you can share it as a designed card on Threads, Instagram, or Telegram. Memory Everything you save from a book — quotes, words, highlights, bookmarks — lives in one place. Add a thought, or tag how it made you feel. Librosy brings it back to you later. Paper books Add a paper book: snap the cover, run a session timer and page tracker, follow progress in a Live Activity. Camera and photos are used only for the cover. Smart library Auto-shelves by folder. Search across books, quotes, and notes. Multi-select for batch actions. iCloud Sync Reading progress, highlights, notes, bookmarks, and saved words follow you between devices through your own iCloud. Book files stay where you put them — we never see your data. Native iOS Gestures, haptics, smooth motion, dark mode, OLED — done right. Ukrainian-first Interface in Ukrainian, with hyphenation and local typography. English included. Completely free. Every feature, for everyone — no subscriptions, no ads, no limits. Made in Ukraine by one designer-developer. Not a social network. Not a store. Not a page counter. Just a calm home for everything you read — and everything it gave you.
