Bookov

Bookov is a reading app for people who want to own their library, not rent it.

Most reading apps are storefronts first: your books live inside someone else's account and vanish when a licence does. Bookov flips that. You import your own EPUB, FB2 and PDF files, read them in a reader built for long hours, and everything stays on your device. No ads, no tracking, no feed.

What's inside

• Import & read — EPUB, FB2, FB2.ZIP and PDF, with typography worth staring at: carefully chosen fonts, 4 colour themes, adjustable margins, line spacing and text size
• An antilibrary — add any book to your shelves without buying or uploading it. What you intend to read says as much about you as what you finished
• Bookshelves — organise by author, subject, mood, or whatever makes sense to you
• Quotes & notes — highlight in 5 colours as you read, attach your own thoughts, and find every quote in one place
• AI summaries — overviews, key takeaways, author context and similar books for any title, in the language and format you choose (iPhone)
• Free book catalogs — Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks and Wikisource, readable in-app (web)
• Cloud sync — library, shelves, quotes and reading position across devices on the Pro plan (live on the web app, shipping to iPhone next)
• Your files stay yours — export your whole library as a .zip backup (iPhone)

Why it exists

"File over app." Your library should outlive any app, including this one. We don't sell attention, and there is nothing here designed to keep you scrolling instead of reading.

Native iPhone app on the App Store, full web app at web.bookov.app, Android in progress. Free to use; Pro is $6.99/month or $49.99/year with a 7-day trial. AI credits are a separate one-time purchase.
