Reading made private. No "big data." Thousands of free public domain classics, highlights that actually mean something, and a chart made of the books that you finish.
Readtide is a reading app designed by a reader.
An app that focuses on the rhythm of reading. No ads, no trackers, no privacy issues. No stress. Just you and the story, the way reading is meant to be.
READ
Import your own EPUBs, or browse thousands of free public domain classics from inside the Readtide app. Your books stay on your device, and they stay yours.
Choose your typeface and size. Turn on Focus Mode when you want nothing between you and the page. Turn the phone sideways and the words follow, without losing your place. Full screen reading enabled which means more real estate for the words.
FOUR TIDES
Readtide moves with your day. High Tide at sunrise, Noon Tide at midday, Low Tide at dusk, Night Tide after dark. The light is always right for the hour you're reading in.
KEEP WHAT MATTERS
Highlight a line and it's saved. Tap a word you don't know and the definition comes to you, then stays in your vocabulary list.
Tide Notes hold your note taking and "a-ha" moments. Quote Cards turn any passage into something shareable.
SEE YOURSELF READING
Rate a book and describe how it felt with moods and tropes. Then open Reading Constellations: every book you finish becomes a star, and lines form where themes correlate and echo across your reading.
