ContinuousReader is a native reading app for Mac, iPad, and iPhone, built around one idea: your reading position should follow you. Close a book on your Mac at midnight; open it on your iPhone in the morning — same book, same paragraph. YOUR PLACE, EVERYWHERE Reading positions, bookmarks, notes, and library metadata sync over iCloud across every Apple device on the same Apple ID — down to the exact paragraph. Book files sync through iCloud Drive. No account, no server but Apple's own. Each device keeps its own font, size, and theme. OPENS WHAT YOU HAVE EPUB, FB2, MOBI, HTML, TXT, RTF, DOC/DOCX (Mac), and their ZIP variants — with chapter extraction, footnotes, encoding detection, and embedded images.
