Not just genre matches: unexpected connections you wouldn't have found on your own. Every recommendation includes a personalised reason. TRACK YOUR BOOKS • Track every book you're reading, have read, want to read or DNF'd. • Rate books with sentiment tags, and give all-time favourites a sixth star. • Add notes as you read — dictated or written. • Tag books by how they actually feel, not just genre. • Create custom shelves and tags with no library-size limit. • See severity-labelled content warnings before you start a book.

WHY READERS SWITCH TO FOREWORDS • No ads, data selling, social feed or public-profile pressure. • Recommendations and insights based on the themes, tone and narrative style that define your taste. • Your private library, your notes and recommendations that improve as you use them. A NOTE FROM THE MAKER Confession: I'm not a huge reader. But my wife is. She reads 50+ books a year and asked me to build something that could discover books from what she genuinely likes and dislikes, reveal her reading taste, and go deeper than “another book by the same author.” So I built Forewords. It's a reading companion, not a social network or streak tracker. I'm not trying to make you read more — you already do that. It's independent, meant to stay affordable, and will always have a free version. I hope you love it. If you don't, I'd genuinely like to know why. — Jayson Forewords is your book tracker, reading journal, AI book recommendations app and personal reading-insights tool — built for voracious readers.

It was never you. Audiobooks give your eyes nothing to do, so your mind wanders and you lose the thread. Witbound lines up the real audiobook you already own with the real ebook text, word by word, so your eyes follow every word as the narrator speaks it. Not a robot voice, and not a machine's guess at the words. The actual book, correctly spelled and laid out, moving in time with the narration. That is what makes it work for dyslexia, ADHD, and reading in another language, where the words have to be right. Everything happens on your phone unless you choose Cloud sync, which is optional and off until you turn it on. It sends an English audiobook's audio to Witbound's server over Wi-Fi so the book syncs sooner, and the audio is deleted after. Your ebook never leaves the device, and there is no account and no tracking. Bring your own epub, PDF, m4b or mp3, or connect your Audiobookshelf server. Popular books are ready in seconds. Your first book syncs free. After that, Witbound Plus is a one-time purchase that unlocks your whole shelf for good. No subscription, no renewals, no recurring charges. A single payment to your Apple Account, yours to keep. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://witbound.co.uk/privacy.html
