BeeReader turns your Apple Watch into a real book reader. Import a .txt, EPUB, or PDF on your iPhone and BeeReader sends it straight to your wrist — no account, no cloud, no data collection. Everything is processed on your own devices. WHY BEEREADER • Read anywhere — on a walk, in line, in bed — without reaching for your phone. • Works fully offline. Once a book is on your watch, you never need a connection. • Distraction-free: just your text, the way reading should be. FEATURES • Import TXT, EPUB, and PDF from Files, iCloud Drive, or any app via the Share sheet. • Digital Crown scrolling, with your reading position saved automatically. • Hands-free auto-scroll at a steady, adjustable reading pace. • Read-aloud on the watch itself — a built-in voice reads your book through the watch's speaker (or your headphones) while the page follows along. • A "continue reading" watch-face complication — tap to jump right back into your book. • Four easy-on-the-eyes themes (black, paper, sepia, and Night for a dark room) and adjustable text size. • On-device AI cleanup for messy PDFs — fixes broken line breaks and strips page headers. • An on-phone bookshelf re-sends any book to a new Apple Watch in a tap. PRIVACY FIRST BeeReader has no account and collects no data. Your books never leave your devices. The first few books are free. BeeReader Pro is a one-time purchase for unlimited imports — no subscription, ever.
