GitHub Sponsors Profile

Readest is a modern, open-source ebook reader designed for deep, focused reading. The name “Readest” comes from early modern English—“thou readest”—evoking a personal, immersive connection to the act of reading. This spirit of intentional and meaningful engagement with text is at the core of everything we build.
We're creating Readest to support thoughtful readers, learners, and researchers. Whether you’re reading a novel, studying for exams, or analyzing complex documents, Readest adapts to your needs with powerful features like:

Multi-device sync to pick up right where you left off
Annotations and notes to retain and reflect
Split-screen layouts for parallel reading and comparison
Custom CSS and vertical EPUB support for a truly personalized experience
Online and offline text-to-speech (TTS) to listen to your books anytime, anywhere

This project is a labor of love—and your sponsorship helps make it sustainable. It allows us to dedicate more time to development, fix bugs faster, improve performance, and respond to community feedback. If Readest has been helpful to you or you believe in the value of a modern, independent reading tool, consider becoming a sponsor.
Together, we can build something timeless for readers everywhere.
Thank you for your support! ❤️
