Fan Reader vs Readarium

Fan Reader is a clean reading app for web fiction fans. If you read stories on SpaceBattles, Sufficient Velocity, Archive of Our Own, Royal Road, FanFiction.Net, or Wildbow's serials, Fan Reader strips away the forum clutter and gives you a focused, book-like reading experience.

Stories load directly from their original platforms through your device.

Save the whole article. Read it clean, offline, or listen. Readarium is the free, private place for everything you want to read later. Share a page from Safari and it comes back as the article alone: no ads, no pop-ups, no cookie banners, ready to read anywhere — including on a plane. THE COMPLETE ARTICLE, EVEN ON SITES YOU PAY FOR Most read-later apps re-download the page on their own and end up with the preview. Readarium saves the page exactly as Safari shows it to you. If you're signed in to Le Monde, The New York Times, Mediapart, the FT, Medium or a paid Substack, you get the whole article — and Readarium tells you when a save is only the preview, so you know to share it again from Safari. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Share from Safari or any browser, paste a link, subscribe to RSS feeds, or drop in PDF, EPUB, Markdown, HTML, text and email files. Bringing a library over from Pocket, Instapaper, Raindrop, GoodLinks, wallabag or browser bookmarks takes a single import. READ WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS Serif, sans-serif or rounded fonts, adjustable size and spacing, light, sepia, dark and pure-black themes. Highlight passages, add notes, and find anything in your library with full-text search. READY OFFLINE Text and images stay on your device. Build a self-contained HTML or clean PDF copy of any article for the days without signal. The “Make Clean PDF” shortcut turns any web page into an ad-free PDF straight from the share sheet, and “Listen to Page” starts reading it aloud. LISTEN Play any article aloud, or send it to VocaRead for natural voices, CarPlay and background playback. YOUR NOTES, YOUR TOOLS Export articles and highlights as Markdown to Obsidian or any notes app. Reading reminders, widgets, Spotlight and Shortcuts keep what you saved within reach. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No Readarium account, no ads, no tracking. Your library lives on your devices and syncs through your private iCloud — nobody else can see it. COMPLETELY FREE Everything included, no subscription, no premium tier. Built by a solo indie developer who believes reading should be free, private and beautiful.
