SnailRead is a calm, focused reader for people who want to read slowly and remember more. Open your PDFs and EPUBs in a clean, distraction-free space designed for deep reading — not endless scrolling. Highlight what matters, add your own notes, and let everything you mark collect in one place you'll actually revisit. WHY SNAILREAD • Built for focus. A quiet, beautiful reading surface with themes for day and night, adjustable fonts, spacing, and margins. • Your own engine. A purpose-built EPUB engine plus rock-solid PDF rendering — your books just work. • Read slowly, on purpose. Reading goals, daily streaks, and gentle reminders that keep the habit without the pressure. HIGHLIGHTS, NOTES & QUOTES • Highlight in color and attach notes as you read. • Every quote and note gathers on one screen — search, review, and come back to your best ideas. • Reminders and spaced review bring your highlights back over time, so the ideas you loved actually stick. AN AI ASSISTANT THAT RESPECTS THE BOOK • Ask about any passage and get a clear explanation — in your own language. • Instant dictionary for any word, in context. • Chapter summaries when you want the gist. Your books stay yours: excerpts are sent securely only when you ask, and aren't stored after the answer. SEE YOUR PROGRESS • Reading time, streaks, most-read books, and your most active day. • "Books this year" goal and a yearly "Year in Books" recap. • Home- and Lock-Screen widgets: continue reading, quote of the day, word of the day, streak, and goals. BRING YOUR LIBRARY • Import PDF and EPUB from Files, Mail, the web, and more. • Connect OPDS catalogs to browse and download. • Convert other formats (like DjVu) to read them too. • iCloud keeps your highlights, notes, and progress in sync across iPhone and iPad.
