Loremate is a calm e-book reader with an AI companion that helps you understand what you read. Add your own EPUB books, read them in a clean full-screen page, and when a sentence, a name or an idea needs explaining, select it and ask. The answer opens in a half-sheet, so the page stays in view. READING โข Full-screen pages. The bars hide while you read; tap the middle of the page to bring them back. โข Real covers on your shelf, taken from your books. โข Continue reading: one tap back to the page where you stopped. โข Paper, Sepia and Night page colours, and a dark mode for the whole app. โข Literata, a typeface made for long reading on screens, or your book's own font. โข Adjustable text size. Your place is kept when you change it. โข Contents and bookmarks for every book. โข Your library, reading position and bookmarks are saved to your account and follow you to your other iPhone or iPad. AI COMPANION โข It knows the book you're reading. Ask about characters, places and events, and it answers from the book itself, only up to your page: no spoilers, unless you turn them on. โข Answers point to the chapter they come from; tap to jump there. โข Select any passage and ask: what a term means, why something matters. โข Get a passage explained in simpler words, translated into your language, or summarized. โข Coming back after a few days? Get a quick recap of where you left off, or a summary of the current chapter. โข Tap "Explain image" to ask about an illustration, map or chart in your book. โข Finish a book and test yourself with a 6-question quiz (free). โข Try it free: 5 questions per book.
