Bare Reader vs eBook Manager

Bare Reader is a calm, distraction-free way to read your EPUB books on iPhone. No accounts. No ads. No sync nags. No feed pulling you away from the page. Just your library and your books — stored privately on your device. Less than 5MB in size, Bare Reader is as lightweight as it gets. READING, THE WAY IT SHOULD FEEL Open a book and everything else disappears. A clean, paginated reading view lets you move through pages the way that feels natural to you: swipe, tap the edges, or use the on-screen page buttons. PRIVATE BY DESIGN LeafReader works entirely offline. Your books and your reading never leave your device: there's no account to create and no data collected. What you read is nobody's business but yours. Bring your own EPUBs and enjoy a reader that gets out of the way. Bare Reader is completely free to use. If you enjoy the app, you can optionally purchase a one-time license to remove the occasional support reminder. Purchasing doesn't unlock anything or change how the app works; it's simply a way to support ongoing development.

eBook Manager for iOS puts your whole e-book library in your pocket — the companion app to eBook Manager for Mac. YOUR LIBRARY, EVERYWHERE Everything syncs through your personal iCloud account — no accounts to create, no third-party servers. Books, covers, metadata, ratings, collections, reading lists, and reading positions stay identical across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Download any book on demand; a quick filter shows what's already on your device for offline reading. A READER THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY Built on Readium, the open-source EPUB engine. Tap the edges or swipe to turn pages, tap the center to hide the controls, and fine-tune fonts, text size, and light, sepia, or dark themes — your reader settings sync between devices too. Start a chapter on your Mac and your iPhone offers to continue from the same spot. PDFs open in a full PDF view. BROWSE BEAUTIFULLY A cover grid or detailed list, live search across titles, authors, series, and tags, and instant filters for favorites and reading status. On iPad, a three-column layout puts your sidebar, library, and book page side by side. ORGANIZE ON THE GO Edit metadata, set ratings and reading status, favorite with a swipe, and browse the collections, reading lists, and smart lists you built on the Mac — edits sync back instantly.
