ArchFic: AO3 Unofficial Reader

Read AO3 fanfiction beautifully — offline downloads, AI translation & text-to-speech. Follow your authors, never miss a new chapter. Not affiliated with AO3 or OTW.

Read your favorite AO3 works the way they deserve to be read — beautifully, distraction-free, and entirely on your terms.

ArchFic is an unofficial, fan-made reader for Archive of Our Own. Built for the way fans actually read: tracking progress, saving favorites, reading offline, getting alerted when the fics you follow update, and never losing your place.

CONTINUE WHERE YOU LEFT OFF

ArchFic remembers every chapter you've read and how far you've scrolled. Jump back in with one tap from your personalized Continue Reading list, and find everything you've opened recently in Recents.

FOLLOW AUTHORS & GET NEW-CHAPTER ALERTS

Follow your favorite authors straight from their profile. Turn on New Chapter Alerts to get notified the moment a work you follow posts a new chapter — and get a New Work alert when an author you follow publishes something new. The Updates feed gathers every recent update in one place.

NEVER LOSE A FIC AGAIN

Download any work for offline reading and keep it even if it's later deleted, orphaned, or locked on AO3 — your saved copy stays readable. Save works to your Library, sort them into Collections you name yourself (Slow Burns, To Read, anything you like), and sign in to back up your library, collections, and follows to the cloud so they survive a new phone or a reinstall. Your AO3 bookmarks, recent reads, and downloads all live in one place.

SEARCH AND DISCOVER

Browse by genre: Anime & Manga, Books & Literature, Movies, TV Shows, Video Games. Filter by rating, length, completion status, date updated, and more. Find exactly what you're looking for, every time.

READ ON YOUR TERMS

Choose your font, size, line height, and background — White, Sepia, Dark, or Black. Everything adjusts to the way you prefer to read.

TRANSLATE AS YOU READ

On-device AI translation lets you read in your language — works fully offline after a one-time model download. Translation is built in, with no per-chapter fees.

LISTEN HANDS-FREE

Text-to-speech reads any chapter aloud so you can follow along while doing something else. Adjust speed and voice to suit you.

SIGN IN TO SYNC ACROSS DEVICES

Sign in to back up your library, collections, follows, and settings to the cloud — switch to a new phone or reinstall the app and everything is right where you left it. Connect your AO3 account to import your AO3 bookmarks and subscriptions automatically. Metadata only — your fanwork content is never uploaded or stored on our servers.
