How it works

  1. Add a book

    Drag a PDF or EPUB onto the page. The cover and the title come from the file itself, so your shelf looks like a shelf.

  2. Mark what matters

    Select a passage and pick a colour. Give it a title, write a note next to it. Everything stays with the book.

  3. Come back anytime

    Close the tab in the middle of a paragraph. Open your phone later and the book opens on that paragraph.

What you get

The page number the book prints

A file starts counting at the cover; a book starts at chapter one. When you're on page 105 of the book, it says 105 — the number you'd tell a friend.

Hard pages made readable

Cramped columns and tiny type can be shown as plain flowing text, with the pictures kept in place. The original page is always one tap away.

Scanned books too

For a book that's only photographs of pages, it can read the text off the image so you can select and mark it. That happens on your device.

Reading on the train

Save a book to your device and it opens without a connection. Anything you mark while offline is synced the moment you're back.

Take your notes with you

Turn a book into an EPUB or a text file, page numbers included, and keep reading it wherever you like.

English and Portuguese

The app follows your browser, and you can change it whenever you want.

Plainly said

  • Your books are yours. They sit in your account, private, and you can delete them whenever you want.
  • No ads, and nothing is sold to anyone.
  • It runs in the browser. On your phone you can add it to the home screen and it behaves like any other app.

Bring a book

Sign in with Google, drag a PDF in, and see what it looks like.
