Everything you need

A reader worth keeping your library in

Thoughtful details for ownership, focus, and reading on any device.

PDF & EPUB, one reader

Reflowable EPUB with real pagination and a table of contents, plus sharp, fast PDF rendering with selectable text.

Private by default

Your books and notes never leave your device — everything is stored locally in your browser, never on our servers. Cloud sync to your own Drive is coming soon.

Read offline, anywhere

Open a book once and it downloads to your device. After that it opens instantly, on a plane or off the grid.

Highlights, notes & journal

Mark up any passage in four colors, attach a note, and keep a private journal for each book.

Themes & reading fonts

Light, Sepia, and OLED dark, with hand-picked reading fonts: Literata, Lora, and Inter.

Built for focus

Smooth page turns, a scrubber to jump anywhere, and an interface that steps aside while you read.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do I need an account?

No. You can read for free without signing in, and the books you add are saved right in this browser. Signing in and upgrading to Plus backs your library up to your own Google Drive and syncs it across devices.

Where are my books stored?

Right now, in this browser on your device. Plus, which is coming soon, will also save them to your own Google Drive, inside a visible ReadHere folder. It will use the drive.file scope, so the app only touches the files it creates and never sees the rest of your Drive.

What is the difference between Free and Plus?

Free is the full reader on one device, with unlimited books, offline access, highlights, notes, journal, and themes. It is available today. Plus is in development and will add Drive backup and sync, so your library and notes follow you to every device and survive clearing your browser. Join the waitlist to hear when it lands.

Can I really read offline?

Yes, on both tiers. When you open a book it caches on your device, so after that it opens instantly and works with no connection at all.

When will Plus be available?

It is in development. Join the waitlist and we will email you when cloud sync and backup land, with early access for sign-ups. Reading stays free regardless, and when Plus does arrive your files will live in your own Drive, yours to keep.
