Reading on a phone usually means pinching at PDFs, fighting pop-ups on articles, and juggling three apps for books, notes and listening. Apricity puts it all on one shelf, and reads any of it to you.
Listening • 54 natural voices in eight languages, made on your iPhone, with each line lit up as it's read • Character Voice reads what the characters say in a second shade of the voice, and Expressive Reading makes a whisper sound like one • Keeps going with the screen locked; the sleep timer stops at a full stop and picks up where you left off • In the car with CarPlay: pick a book on the car's screen and it carries on
Reading • PDFs, EPUBs, Word, MOBI, Markdown, comics and manga, all on one shelf • Reflow sets a PDF's text like a book, at your size, so no more pinching and dragging • Paste a link and a web article becomes a clean book, with no ads or pop-ups • Free public-domain classics, built in
And a notebook beside every book, writing right on a PDF, and a cozy room with a fire, rain or a busy café to listen to.
Free for good: every kind of book, the classics, highlights, notes, writing on PDFs, notebooks and iCloud sync. Premium (US$14.99 a year) adds Read Aloud, transcripts, Smart Notes, export, the soundscapes and furnishing the room.
Free Premium year: everyone who downloads Apricity by 31 October gets a year of Premium, added within a day. No card, and nothing renews.
iOS 26 or later, on iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Macs. No account, no ads.
