About this app

ContinuousReader is a native reading app for Mac, iPad, and iPhone, built around one idea: your reading position should follow you. Close a book on your Mac at midnight; open it on your iPhone in the morning — same book, same paragraph. YOUR PLACE, EVERYWHERE Reading positions, bookmarks, notes, and library metadata sync over iCloud across every Apple device on the same Apple ID — down to the exact paragraph. Book files sync through iCloud Drive. No account. Live positions pass through an encrypted relay that sees only a random ID, never titles or text. Each device keeps its own font, size, and theme. OPENS WHAT YOU HAVE EPUB, FB2, MOBI, AZW3, PDF, Markdown, HTML, TXT, RTF and DOC/DOCX (on the Mac), including inside ZIP and RAR archives. Chapters, footnotes and pictures come through, and the app works out the encoding by itself. Manga and comics in CBZ and CBR open as two-page spreads, and Japanese manga reads right to left. Chinese and Japanese books open too, old encodings like GB18030 and Shift_JIS included. Furigana sits above the kanji. Mark part of a manga or PDF page like a highlighter and leave a note. Books in Hebrew and Arabic turn their pages right to left. A READING EXPERIENCE YOU CONTROL Nine typefaces and 41 themes across five palettes, plus Typewriter and Terminal. Continuous scroll, paged, or two-page spread. Real hyphenation in Latin, Cyrillic, CJK, Arabic, and Greek. Read Aloud with word-by-word highlighting. On-device translation — nothing leaves your device. Reading statistics with shareable reports. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY Nested folders, color tags, genres, seven-color bookmarks with notes, three view modes, and OPDS catalogs (Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, Feedbooks, or your own). The sidebar switches from folders to authors, co-authors, series, genres or colours. The book card generates a cover for a book that has none. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking, no ads. Your books are plain files in a folder you can copy anywhere. One-time purchase. Universal Purchase across Mac, iPad, and iPhone — buy once, read everywhere. Family Sharing supported.
