Duri vs Inkleaf

Duri is a reader for the books and documents you already have: EPUBs, PDFs and the scans of them, comics, plain text and Markdown, and articles saved from the web. It turns their pages like a book, remembers where you stopped, and keeps your highlights and notes where you can find them. PAGES THAT TURN LIKE PAPER A real page curl that follows your finger, the back of the leaf showing through, on every kind of file. On an iPad on its side the book lies open as a two-page spread, with the spine down the middle and a double-page comic panel across both. MADE TO BE READ FOR HOURS Four themes free and ten more with Pro, among them an E-ink theme that stops every animation. Five reading faces, and your own fonts with Pro. Line spacing and margins, a page you can pinch. Footnotes open where you are. READS ALOUD Any book, any document, even a scanned PDF, whose words Duri recognises on your phone. Press Listen and the voice begins within a second or two, from the page you are on or from any sentence you choose, and follows you when you turn the page. A listening view like lyrics, lit word by word, in a voice of Duri's own that runs on your phone: four to choose from, and nothing you read leaves the device. Ten minutes a day are free. YOUR NOTES STAY YOURS Highlight in five colours, write notes (typed or by hand), copy with a citation, make a quote card (Pro). Draw on a PDF with a pen, a highlighter and an eraser, and share the PDF with your marks in it. Export everything as Markdown or plain text, always, for free. AWAY FROM THE APP Widgets for the book you're reading, what's playing and your daily reading goal. A listening remote on your Apple Watch. Save a page from Safari's share sheet and it's an article in your library. Follow a site and new pieces arrive by themselves. On an iPad, read a book beside its translation. ON IPHONE DUO Open, a book lies across both screens with its spine on the fold, and the library and contents use both pages. Half folded, the page stands above the fold with the controls below, so it reads on a table by itself. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CAN'T DO Books locked to another store (Kindle, Apple Books) can't be opened here, and Duri says so rather than pretending. NOTHING ABOUT YOU LEAVES YOUR DEVICE No servers of ours. A book from a catalogue or a page you save comes straight from where it lives, and sync, if you want it, goes through your own iCloud and nowhere else. DURI PRO One purchase, once, shared with your family: unlimited listening, iCloud sync, ten more themes and five accents, your own fonts, quote cards and PDF export of your notes. It costs US$9.99 (the App Store shows the price in your country), is paid once and never renews: it is not a subscription. Everything else is free, and stays free.

Your phone is loud. Your book does not have to be. Inkleaf turns the DRM-free EPUB files you already own into a quiet paper page. No ads, no account, no scrolling: just tap to turn the page. Same phone. Quiet page. Add a book, tap the edge of the screen to turn the page, and read. The look is inspired by E-ink screens: an off-white paper page, dark-gray text, no animations, and an optional refresh flash you can tune or turn off. Why you might like it • Your own EPUBs, at home. Add your files and they become covers in one grid. No store to browse, no account to make. • Paper-calm. An off-white page with dark-gray text, never pure black on pure white. Prefer plain white and black? Switch the paper palette off. • Pages, not scrolling. Chapters are split into pages. Tap the right third of the screen for the next page, the left third to go back, and the centre to show or hide the menu. • The E-ink feel. Pages change instantly, with no sliding or fading. If you like, add a quick black-then-white refresh flash every page, every 5 pages or every 10 pages, and a faint ghosting trail of the previous page that fades out after about a second. Each part has its own switch. • Make it yours. Open the Aa sheet to change the text size, choose serif or sans, set the line spacing (compact, normal, loose) and the margins (narrow, medium, wide). The page re-flows and keeps you in the same place in the book. • Dark mode, E-ink style. Light text on a dark page, with the same no-animation rules. You turn it on yourself; it does not follow your phone's setting. • Right where you left off. Inkleaf remembers the page you stopped on in every book. Your library is a grid of covers with a Continue reading card for the book you opened last, and it shows how far you have read. How it works 1. Save an .epub file on your iPhone, for example in the Files app. 2. Open Inkleaf, tap Add book and choose the file. Inkleaf keeps its own copy, so your original file stays where it is. 3. Tap a cover to start reading. To remove a book, press and hold its cover and confirm. Only Inkleaf's copy, its cover and your reading place are deleted. Your original file is not touched. Private by design No account. No cloud. No ads. No analytics. Inkleaf makes no network connections. Your books, covers and reading places are stored only on your iPhone. What Inkleaf is not • It reads DRM-free EPUB files only. Books with copy protection (DRM) will not open. • Fixed-layout and audio-synced EPUBs are not supported. • There is no book store. You bring your own books. • There is no syncing between devices. • This version has no search, dictionary, bookmarks, highlights, notes or table of contents, and it does not open PDF files. • Designed for iPhone, in portrait. Not designed for iPad. Inkleaf is a small, independent app. If a book will not open or something feels off, please write to us from the support page.
