Persimmon Reader

Read. Nothing else.

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Now with first-line indents, and swipe anywhere to turn pages in two-page view. Persimmon is a simple, focused ebook reader built around one thing: reading. The interface stays out of your way and leaves as much room as possible for the book. No annotations, no AI features, no clutter—just open a book and read. Page turns are carefully tuned to feel responsive and natural. They follow your finger, stay smooth through fast repeated swipes, and are designed for people who read quickly. You can also rapidly flip through pages, a bit like thumbing backward through a paperback. Your library and reading progress can sync for free through your own cloud storage, so there’s no separate Persimmon account to create. Just use your existing cloud drive and keep reading across devices. Your books and reading data stay on your device unless you choose to sync them. Even then, they go directly to your own cloud drive.

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

First-line indents, and easier page turns in two-page view. • New First-line indent setting under Style: None, 1 em or 2 em. It applies to body paragraphs only; headings and centered or end-aligned text keep their layout, and paragraphs that already start with full-width spaces are not indented twice. • In two-page view with Edge Swipe to Riffle turned off, swipe anywhere on the screen to turn pages: right for the previous page, left for the next. • The Page Layout row no longer shows a hint line, so it matches the height of the other rows.
