ReadAware

A calm place to read anything

Import a file and start reading. There is no conversion and no cloud upload; your highlights, notes, and place in the book stay with the original text. When you want more focus, read sentence by sentence — the page holds back, a floating strip steps you through, and read-aloud can follow along.

It's aware of what you've read

Ask about a passage, a book, or your whole shelf. ReadAware answers from your own reading — the line you marked three books ago, the question you asked last week, the thread that runs through everything on your shelf. It doesn't replay a chat history; it keeps a durable memory of what matters and brings it back at the moment it's relevant.

Extended from the inside

Sandboxed plugins from the built-in marketplace add read-aloud voices, dictionaries, reading themes, feeds that read like books. And they reach deeper than features: a plugin can hand the assistant a new tool, and it simply starts using it. The reader doesn't just gain buttons — it learns new skills.

Your reading follows you

Optional end-to-end encrypted sync carries books, highlights, notes, reading position, and memory between devices. Free accounts include 50 MB; paid plans expand storage. The sync relay stores ciphertext. Available on desktop, Android, and iOS.

In short

One engine, every format

EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, CBZ, CBR, TXT, HTML, and PDF open in the same reader, with the same selection, highlights, and progress. Nothing is converted; the original file is what you keep.

Aware, not archival

Reading becomes memory the app can act on. ReadAware keeps what matters and surfaces it when it's relevant — it's there in the moment, not filed away.

Plugins teach it new skills

Marketplace plugins add voices, dictionaries, themes, and feeds — and hand the assistant tools it picks up and uses.

Open source, local-first, encrypted sync

The code is public under AGPL-3.0. Your library and memory are stored locally; optional sync is end-to-end encrypted. AI sends relevant context to your chosen model provider.
