Prose Reader
Local-first ePub & PDF reader
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A fast, private reader for ePub & PDF books. Read completely offline with custom themes, annotations, and optional self-hosted WebDAV sync. No ads, no tracking.
Prose is a clean, local-first reader for ePub and PDF books. Designed with a focus on speed, privacy, and simplicity, Prose works completely offline to keep your personal library secure on your device.
Key Features:
- Multi-format support: Read ePub 2, ePub 3, and PDF files.
- Offline library: View your books in a custom cover grid or detail list. Search, filter, and sort by title, author, last read, or reading progress.
- Tailored reading experience: Customize fonts, font size, margins, and line spacing for reflowable ePub books. Zoom and fit controls are available for PDF files.
- Reading themes: Switch between light, dark, and sepia themes to match your environment. Themes apply across the entire application interface.
- Local-first sync: Connect your own WebDAV server to sync books, reading positions, bookmarks, highlights, and settings. Sync runs in the background and resolves conflicts by keeping your furthest reading position.
- Annotation and reference: Create bookmarks, highlight text, and look up definitions using the built-in offline dictionary.
- Privacy and security: Your data is never sent to third-party services. WebDAV credentials are saved securely in your operating system keychain. There is no telemetry, analytics, or tracking.
