DOCREADER — READ PDFS & EPUBS, LISTEN OFFLINE, KEEP YOUR LIBRARY LOCAL DocReader is a full-featured reader for study, work, and leisure: open PDFs and EPUBs from your device, resume where you stopped, and switch to read-aloud with highlighting when your eyes need a rest. Reading and listening with system or offline voices is free—no account needed. READ-ALOUD & VOICES Start, pause, or stop from the toolbar; highlighting follows speech where content supports it. Skip chosen headings or lines in manuals and reference EPUBs. • System TTS: built-in voices, no download. • Kokoro offline voices (Sherpa ONNX): natural speech from an optional pack, synthesized on-device. • Supertonic: an optional pack for very fast on-device speech—great for long documents and cooler phones. Adjust rate and speaker, or keep the screen awake during playback. READING COMFORT Light, dark, or system theme, with a PDF dark mode tuned for legibility. Set default PDF and EPUB scale (fit page, fit width, and more) and scroll speed. In-document panels keep theme, fonts, and voice settings a tap away. LIBRARY & FORMATS Recent documents with timestamps on the home screen. Open files through the system picker, and DocReader remembers your last page or section. Beyond PDF and EPUB, open Markdown, text, logs, subtitles, JSON, CSV, source code, HTML, and common images. SCANNED PDFS / OCR When a PDF has no text layer, on-device OCR recovers text for reading and read-aloud, without sending page images to a cloud OCR service.

Ever silenced or didn't hear iOS's or Outlook's single calendar alert, got distracted and then missed your meeting start time? One alert is easy to miss and easier to tune out entirely. Super Reminder was built by a business person to solve his own problem. Instead of a single alert, it fires a custom sequence of reminders before every event on your calendar, each one harder to ignore than the last. If you tend to lose track of time or tune out one-and-done notifications, this is the reminder tool that finally gets through. This is a purposefully simple app built to solve one big problem felt by many. WHY IT WORKS • Up to 4 escalating alerts before each event with a custom chain of optional buzzes and repeating "ping" sounds that ramp up as your event gets closer, so a reminder you glance past early still catches you before you're late. • Snooze on your terms — hit "remind me in X minutes" for a fresh nudge when you need a moment. MAKE IT YOURS • Set how early each event's alerts begin and how many buzzes and pings you want. • Pick each alert sound from 7 tones. MADE FOR REAL LIFE Great for back-to-back meetings, appointments you can't be late for, school runs, medication times, and anyone tired of a single gentle alert that's easy to miss. If your calendar matters, this is for you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no login, no sign-up — just install and go. • Your calendar contents stay on your device. Super Reminder reads your iPhone calendar locally to know when your events are; those contents are never sent anywhere. • No ads. No analytics. No selling your data. No tracking across apps or the web. No fees. After solving his own problem with this app, the creator figured why not just give it away to others. Never miss a meeting again. Download Super Reminder and let the alerts do the work.
