Capybara Book Reader

For the books you already own

A quiet place
for your books.

Open an EPUB or PDF and read it your way: comfortable pages, deep customization, full notes, and Apple Pencil. No storefront. No account required.

A reader, not a store

Your library starts with a file.

Drop in an EPUB or PDF and start reading. Books stay cached, fast, and available offline. There is no book catalog competing for your attention.

Make the page yours

Read the way your eyes like it.

Set typography, margins, gutters, page motion, controls, and Reading Rooms. Choose Day, Night, warm Reading colors, or let Auto follow the hour inside the reader.

A pen belongs here

Your thoughts stay with the book.

Highlight, type notes, or write anywhere in the margins with Apple Pencil. Annotations stay editable, browsable, copyable, and gathered in one notebook.

Private by default

Read locally, without an account.

The local reader works on its own. Your books remain yours. Hosted sync is coming later. It will be optional, explicit, exportable, and deletable.

Invite beta

One quiet library, wherever you read.

We are building hosted sync so your books, place, highlights, and notes can follow you across iPad, iPhone, Mac, and the web.
