iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad
Every screen
Hold an iPhone upright for one page. Turn an iPad sideways or open an iPhone Duo and you get a full two-page spread, with the spine in the middle where the fold is.
A real page under your finger
Pages that curl
Hold a corner and the page curls, just like paper, on every screen. Prefer something simpler? Switch to a slide in the reading settings.
Made for iPhone Duo
Open your Duo, open a book
Unfold your iPhone Duo and Talewright lays the book open across both halves, with the spine on the fold. Covers sit centred like a real book, and the page curls across the crease.
Tens of thousands of free classics
Discover
Browse public domain classics by topic and language, with fast search, plus carefully typeset new releases from Standard Ebooks. Or bring your own EPUB and PDF files from Files, Mail or Safari.
Never lose the thread
Reading companion
Story so far writes a spoiler-free recap of any book, on your device, from the pages you've already read and nothing past them. Ask this book and Who's who come with it in Premium.
Just you and the page
Built for reading
Five themes, seven fonts and a warm light that takes the blue out of the page at night. Highlight in four colors, add notes and look up any word.
Start on iPhone, finish on iPad
Your library
Your shelf, your place, highlights and notes follow you through your own iCloud. Open the book on another device and Talewright offers to jump to where you left off.
Honest by default
No account. No ads. No tracking.
Talewright collects nothing about you. Your books, highlights and notes stay on your device and in your own iCloud, and the reading companion runs on your device.
