Codex Reader turns the books you already own into one library you can read and listen to. Connect your own sources — Plex, Audiobookshelf, OPDS catalogs, and Storyteller — or bring files straight in from the Files app. Your EPUBs, M4Bs, and MP3 audiobooks all land in a single shelf. READ AND LISTEN, TOGETHER Readalouds keep the text and the narration in sync, highlighting each line as it's spoken. Switch between reading and listening whenever you like and pick up exactly where you left off. BUILT FOR iOS CarPlay for the drive. Siri and Spotlight to jump straight into a book. Home Screen widgets and a Live Activity for what you're in the middle of. Everything works offline once downloaded. MADE YOURS Choose your app icon, tune typography and playback to taste, organize shelves and reading lists, and follow authors or servers to hear about new arrivals. Codex Premium adds iCloud sync so your place in a book follows you between devices.

Read your ebooks in elegant, fully adjustable typography, then go deeper with Sage, an AI companion that actually knows the book in front of you.

SAGE, YOUR AI READING COMPANION Ask about a passage, a character, or a theme. Sage answers in context — grounded in the exact book you're reading, not the open web. DISCUSS IN THE MARGINS See what other readers thought, chapter by chapter, and add your own take — all without leaving the page. BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS Import your own EPUBs, connect a Calibre or OPDS catalog, or start from a built-in library of free classics. Your shelf, your way. Quillet is made for readers who want a calm, focused place to read — with a little intelligence and conversation whenever you want it.
