CrossPort vs FolioLink

CrossPort is an EPUB reader built for long books: real two-page spreads, a page curl you can feel, natural voices that read to you, and a recap of the story so far when you come back. It also pairs with e-ink readers running CrossPoint, so your place follows you between phone and reader. READING • Paginated pages with page curl or slide, and two-page spreads in landscape • Themes, fonts, and layout settings to make every book comfortable • Bookmarks, contents, and a scrubber that shows the chapter as you drag, with undo for jumps • Show progress as a percentage or as pages • Import EPUBs from Files, AirDrop, or Share READ ALOUD • Listen to any book, with every word highlighted as it's spoken and pages that turn on their own • Natural neural voices, including 17 PocketTTS voices, or make your own from a short recording • Play from Here: select any sentence to start there • Pronounce As: fix how a name or word is said, for one book or all of them • Keeps playing in the background, with lock screen controls, and picks up where you stopped PREVIOUSLY • Coming back after a break? CrossPort recaps the story up to your place, using Apple Intelligence • Only what you've already read is used, so recaps never spoil what's ahead FIND BOOKS • Browse Project Gutenberg, Calibre content servers, and other OPDS catalogs • Book details with synopses, ratings, and page counts PAIRS WITH YOUR E-INK READER • Works with Xteink X4, X3, and other readers running CrossPoint or compatible firmware • Reading position and bookmarks sync both ways between your phone and your reader • Send books to your reader over WiFi, optimized for e-ink • Make sleep screen wallpapers from your photos, previewed as they'll look on e-ink • Browse, upload, rename, move, and delete files on your reader MORE • Home screen widget with your current book • Siri and Shortcuts: continue reading, check your progress, or send a book to your reader No e-ink reader needed. CrossPort works on its own as a reader on your iPhone. Recaps need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence. Some neural voices need iPhone 13 or later.

FolioLink is the iPhone companion for e-readers running Folio, the open-source firmware for the Xteink X4 Pro. Open the app and everything your reader has collected is already here. READING STATISTICS • Daily goal, streaks and a reading calendar • Weekly charts and reading by time of day • A review card for today, this week, month, year or any period you choose LIBRARY • All books on your reader with their progress • Statuses — want to read, reading, finished — and shelves that sync back to the reader HIGHLIGHTS AND VOCABULARY • Highlights you make on the reader, with chapter, position and your notes • Every word you looked up in the reader's dictionary, with its context • Export highlights to Markdown SLEEP SCREENS • Design dashboard and quote sleep screens and send them to the reader YOUR READER, FROM YOUR PHONE • Send books, web articles and fonts over Wi‑Fi • Change reader settings and save reader screenshots to Photos • Install signed firmware updates, confirmed on the reader itself • Changes made away from the reader wait in a queue and are sent when it connects • Optional background sync over Bluetooth PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no analytics. FolioLink talks only to your own reader on your local network or over Bluetooth, and pairing with a PIN makes sure nobody else on the network can change it. No reader yet? Tap “Try without a reader” to explore the app with sample books and data. FolioLink requires an e-reader running the Folio firmware (github.com/guloff/folio-firmware).
