Manamo is an EPUB and ebook reader that explains what you read and turns it into flashcards you'll actually review. Open a book, a textbook, a paper, or a PDF. Select anything you don't understand and Manamo explains it in context. Turn the parts that matter into cards, then review them on a schedule built to make them stick. UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ • Select a word or passage to see what it means right here, in this passage. • Ask about anything in the book. Manamo searches the text and can take you straight to the passage. TURN READING INTO CARDS • Make flashcards from a word, a passage, or a whole chapter. You review every draft before it's saved, and cards made from your reading keep their source. • Study new cards right away, then come back when they're due. REMEMBER IT • FSRS spaced repetition schedules every card toward the memory target you set. • Say or type your answer. The Answer Coach shows what you recalled and what you missed, and you choose the grade. • Quizzes on the cards you keep missing, plus decks, folders, and daily reminders. BRING YOUR DECKS • Import .apkg decks from Anki with their schedules and review history, or cards from a spreadsheet or Quizlet export. • Export any deck to .apkg or a spreadsheet. Your cards stay yours. CATCH UP WHEN YOU COME BACK • Previously: catch up on your current chapter and the chapters before it, newest first. • Open a chapter outline for non-fiction, with key points and original quotes. • So far: a recap up to your place, with more detail after a longer break. YOUR LIBRARY • EPUB, PDF, DRM-free MOBI and AZW3 files, and web pages, with highlights and notes. • Discover free classics, papers, and articles, and keep a Want to read list. FREE TO START Reading, flashcards, spaced repetition, and AI help are free, with AI help that refills on a schedule.

Features
Read full description

ChapterWing turns web novels into audiobooks you can actually listen to. If you read progression fantasy, xianxia, cultivation, or LitRPG, you know the problem: thousands of chapters, no audio anywhere. ChapterWing fixes that. Every series in the library is narrated end to end, so you can keep up with your favorite serials while you drive, train, or do the dishes. WHAT YOU GET • Full-length audiobooks — not samples. Complete series, chapter by chapter. • Genres built for binge listening: progression fantasy, xianxia, cultivation, LitRPG, system, martial arts, and Eastern fantasy. • Continue where you left off — playback position syncs across your library. • Background playback with lock screen and CarPlay controls. • Adjustable speed from 0.5x to 3x, plus a sleep timer. • Smart queue that auto-advances to the next chapter so you never break the flow. • Bookmarks for the moments worth coming back to.
