Leafward
A calm, carefully typeset reader for the EPUB books you already own — with highlights, notes and backups that keep your reading safe.
Built for long reading
Typeset your way
Font, size, line spacing, margins, justification and hyphenation — for one book or every book. Import your own fonts.
Highlights and notes
Highlights in six colours, plus underline and squiggle. Notes on any passage and a journal for longer thoughts.
Five page colours
Day, Night, Paper, Dusk and Dawn, each one editable — switch with a single tap.
18 app themes
Seven light and eleven dark themes, chosen separately for light and dark appearance.
Bring books from anywhere
Open EPUBs from Files, browse OPDS catalogues, or download straight from a Calibre content server.
Backups you control
Automatic backups to iCloud Drive, this device or a folder you pick, plus full export and restore.
Made for iPad too
Two-page spreads, a quick-launch sidebar and a left-handed menu layout.
