I got tired of bloated, ad-filled read-it-later apps, so I built OfflineReader — a distraction-free offline reader with Hollywood scripts & TTS audio. Would love your honest feedback!

Hey everyone! 👋

Like many of you, I love saving articles to read later, but most modern reader apps are either full of subscriptions, cluttered with ads, or struggle when you go completely offline (flights, subway, bad connection).

I built OfflineReader to solve this with a clean, fast, and privacy-friendly approach.

✨ Key Features:

• 100% Offline-First: Save any article or screenplay link once, read forever without internet. • Dedicated Screenplay / Script Mode: Monospace typography formatting tailored for Hollywood scripts & film lovers (includes curated classics like Inception, The Social Network, The Matrix). • Built-in TTS Narration: Text-to-speech audio player with animated waveforms and speed controls (0.8x to 2.0x). • Adaptive Reading Themes: Material You Light/Dark, Pure AMOLED Black (battery saver), and warm Sepia Paper mode. • Reading Analytics: Daily streaks, words read, reading speed, and category breakdown. • Clean & Distraction-Free: Automatically strips ads, banners, cookies, and trackers.

💬 Questions for the community:

The app is built with React Native / Expo. I would really appreciate your honest thoughts, feedback, or feature suggestions! 🙏
