## Description

SnailRead is a calm, focused reader for people who want to read slowly and remember more.

Open your PDFs and EPUBs in a clean, distraction-free space designed for deep reading — not endless scrolling. Highlight what matters, add your own notes, and let everything you mark collect in one place you'll actually revisit.

WHY SNAILREAD
• Built for focus. A quiet, beautiful reading surface with themes for day and night, adjustable fonts, spacing, and margins.
• Your own engine. A purpose-built EPUB engine plus rock-solid PDF rendering — your books just work.
• Read slowly, on purpose. Reading goals, daily streaks, and gentle reminders that keep the habit without the pressure.

HIGHLIGHTS, NOTES & QUOTES
• Highlight in color and attach notes as you read.
• Every quote and note gathers on one screen — search, review, and come back to your best ideas.
• Reminders and spaced review bring your highlights back over time, so the ideas you loved actually stick.

AN AI ASSISTANT THAT RESPECTS THE BOOK
• Ask about any passage and get a clear explanation — in your own language.
• Instant dictionary for any word, in context.
• Chapter summaries when you want the gist.
Your books stay yours: excerpts are sent securely only when you ask, and aren't stored after the answer.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
• Reading time, streaks, most-read books, and your most active day.
• "Books this year" goal and a yearly "Year in Books" recap.
• Home- and Lock-Screen widgets: continue reading, quote of the day, word of the day, streak, and goals.

BRING YOUR LIBRARY
• Import PDF and EPUB from Files, Mail, the web, and more.
• Connect OPDS catalogs to browse and download.
• Convert other formats (like DjVu) to read them too.
• iCloud keeps your highlights, notes, and progress in sync across iPhone and iPad.

READ TOGETHER (OPTIONAL)
• Add friends by code, share what you're reading, and react to each other's quotes — privacy-first, and entirely up to you. Your notes are never shared.

FREE & PLUS
SnailRead is free to read your own books locally. SnailRead Plus unlocks sync, advanced stats, export, and themes. AI plans add the assistant, dictionary, and summaries. Subscriptions auto-renew; manage or cancel anytime in Settings.

Read slowly. Think deeply. Remember more.
