## Description

iPhone-first ebook reading and local listening for your own files. No subscription, no account, no ads.

Read and listen to your own books with a quiet, local-first iPhone reader.

Drowsebook imports DRM-free EPUB, PDF, TXT, MOBI, and AZW3 files. It keeps your bookshelf, reading positions, bookmarks, PDF cleanup rules, and listening progress on your device.

What Drowsebook is built for:
• Read imported books with typography tuned for long sessions
• Listen with Apple system voices through AVSpeechSynthesizer
• Continue audio in the background with Lock Screen controls and ±15s jumps
• Clean noisy PDFs by hiding page numbers, footnotes, short headers, captions, or custom patterns
• Keep per-book PDF dictionary rules for documents that need manual cleanup
• Export reading data as JSON or clear reading data from Settings

Privacy and purchase:
Drowsebook has no account system, no third-party advertising, no analytics SDKs, and no server dependency for reading or listening. Your imported book files are handled locally on your iPhone.

Drowsebook is a one-time purchase utility for reading and listening to your own DRM-free ebooks. The optional supporter tier has the same app access and exists for users who want to support independent development. Family Sharing is enabled.

Encrypted books and some newer Kindle variants are not supported. Drowsebook is for digital files only and does not scan paper books.
