Why readers switch

Fast, focused reading with resilient sync.

Everything you mark—notes, bookmarks, and progress—stays with the book, wherever you read.

Full book backup

EPUB files upload to Firebase Storage with checksum validation, so your library is safe even if a device is lost.

Progress & bookmarks

Per-page progress and bookmarks sync through Firestore. Open a book on any device and continue exactly where you stopped.

AI-linked notes

Generate AI explanations tied to the precise passage. Notes sync and stay searchable by book and keyword.

E-ink tuned

Reduced motion, adjustable font weight/size, and Boox-specific refresh controls to keep pages crisp on e-ink.

Secure by default

Per-user Firestore rules, upload-size guards, and SHA-256 checks. Local data stays private to your account.

Open & portable

Runs on standard EPUB; no vendor lock-in. Export notes, and configure your own backend URLs if needed.

How it works

Resilient sync pipeline

  • Book files: On first open, the EPUB uploads to Firebase Storage with checksum metadata; repeated opens reuse the stored copy if unchanged.
  • Progress: Locator JSON cached locally and mirrored to Firestore for instant resume on any device.
  • Bookmarks & notes: Stored locally for offline, then pushed to Firestore; pulls on demand to keep devices aligned.

Privacy stance

Your library and notes are scoped to your Firebase user. No sharing or public listings—just your data on your devices.
