Activation
To unlock the full feature set, a purchase is required — available as a one-time in-app purchase or a subscription. Audiobooks and eBooks themselves cannot be purchased or subscribed to within the app.
Privacy
PageWave does not process personal data beyond what's needed for the app to function. That data stays local on your device or — if enabled — in your iCloud account or on your own WebDAV server. PageWave has no backend of its own.
The books shown in the screenshots are sample content and are not part of the app.

Reading Statistics
How much have you actually read? Track your progress with detailed statistics — pages read, listening time, and more.
PageWave Rewind
Your year in reading, beautifully staged. Animated cover wall, a donut chart of your genres, a reading clock for the time of day you read most, your longest reading day, book of the month — and a confetti finale at the end.
Bring your own cover on import
When importing, pick a JPEG or PNG alongside the book file — PageWave automatically uses it as the cover, overriding whatever was embedded in the file.
Metadata via JSON
Optionally drop a `.json` file into the book folder to set title, author, genre, or the series and volume number in one go. A template you can save is in the app under Help & FAQ.
Bonjour & Ciao

PageWave WebDAV Support
Your library on your own server. Store your books and audiobooks on a WebDAV-capable NAS, your Nextcloud, or a Synology. Covers and metadata land directly in your library, audiobooks stream live from the server — or download them for offline listening if you prefer.
Settings synced across all your devices
Change a setting on one device and it's there on the others right away. Including your server credentials in WebDAV mode.
