OnlyText: TXT & EPUB Reader

A quiet reader for plain text

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

TXT, EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3 and FB2, beautifully set. Save passages, sync your reading across iPhone and iPad with iCloud, and turn pages from Apple Watch. OnlyText is a reader that does one thing: show your plain-text files and ebooks well. No ads, no subscription. • Read your files as they are Import TXT, EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, DOCX, ODT, RTF and HTML files—or whole folders—from the Files app, or drop them into the OnlyText folder in Files. Your folder structure is kept. Read PDFs as they are, or as text with your own font. • Text that just works Encodings such as EUC-KR, Shift_JIS, GB18030, Big5 and Windows-1252 are detected automatically. If something still looks wrong, switch the encoding or convert the file to UTF-8. • Make it yours Change the font, size, line spacing, colors and margins, and keep different settings per book. Fonts installed on your device and fonts you pick from the Files app work too. • Turn pages your way Tap or swipe, use the volume buttons or a keyboard, and choose your own tap zones. • Pick up where you left off Your three latest books are on the first screen, and Reading History shows everything you’ve opened—clear it any time. From the last page, open the next book in the same folder. The Shortcuts actions Next Page and Previous Page turn pages too. • Bookmarks and saved passages Bookmark the page you’re on, or touch and hold text to save a passage. Holding selects the paragraph; drag or move the handles to choose exactly what you want. Saved passages are highlighted on the page and collected with your bookmarks. You can copy them too. • Continue on iPhone and iPad (iCloud sync) Your reading positions and bookmarks stay in sync through iCloud across iPhone and iPad signed in to the same Apple Account. Import the same book file on each device and pick up where you left off. Book files and reading settings aren’t synced, and you can turn syncing off in Settings. • Apple Watch remote and bookmarks Turn pages on your iPhone from your Apple Watch—lying down or with the iPhone on a stand. Each turn of the Digital Crown moves a page, and you choose how many clicks a page takes and how sensitive the crown is. Tapping the screen or Double Tap works too. Save the current page and see your bookmarks by book on your watch. Positions survive font changes. • Private by design Your book files stay on your device. With iCloud sync on, reading positions and bookmarks are stored in your own iCloud account, where the developer can’t see them. The developer collects no data. Use every feature free for 14 days—the trial never charges you. To keep reading after that, buy once.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Saved passages: touch and hold text to select the paragraph, adjust the selection by dragging or with the handles, then save it to your bookmarks or copy it. Saved passages are highlighted on the page and appear in your bookmarks and on Apple Watch. • iCloud sync: reading positions and bookmarks sync between iPhone and iPad signed in to the same Apple Account. If you read further on another device, OnlyText offers to take you there. You can turn it off in Settings. • Page bookmarks now show correctly even when another device or text size breaks the pages differently.
