Librosy is a calm, beautifully made iOS reader for people who read closely, not fast — and want to keep what their books leave behind. Any format EPUB, FB2, PDF, TXT, Markdown, HTML, RTF — one beautiful reader for everything you read. Highlights with color Long-press, drag, pick a color. Your quote is saved — and you can share it as a designed card on Threads, Instagram, or Telegram. Memory Everything you save from a book — quotes, words, highlights, bookmarks — lives in one place. Add a thought, or tag how it made you feel. Librosy brings it back to you later. Paper books Add a paper book: snap the cover, run a session timer and page tracker, follow progress in a Live Activity. Camera and photos are used only for the cover. Smart library Auto-shelves by folder. Search across books, quotes, and notes. Multi-select for batch actions. iCloud Sync Reading progress, highlights, notes, bookmarks, and saved words follow you between devices through your own iCloud. Book files stay where you put them — we never see your data. Native iOS Gestures, haptics, smooth motion, dark mode, OLED — done right. Ukrainian-first Interface in Ukrainian, with hyphenation and local typography. English included. Completely free. Every feature, for everyone — no subscriptions, no ads, no limits. Made in Ukraine by one designer-developer. Not a social network. Not a store. Not a page counter. Just a calm home for everything you read — and everything it gave you.

Read full description

Local AI Reader turns any document into a personal audiobook using on-device AI voices that sound remarkably natural — no internet, no cloud, no privacy concerns. Import a PDF, EPUB, TXT or RTF from your Files app, iCloud Drive or any share sheet. Local AI Reader automatically splits the text into sentences and speaks them one by one, with every word highlighted in real time as it is read aloud. Follow along, skip ahead, or tap any sentence to jump straight to it. Choose from 8 distinct voices — American English and British English, male and female — each powered by a language model that runs entirely on your device!
