Freadly for iPhone and iPad

Freadly has a version for iPhone and iPad, redesigned for the phone and the tablet.

Built for iOS 26

The app requires iOS 26. That was a deliberate choice: it let me design the whole interface around Liquid Glass, Apple’s new look, instead of adding it on top of an older design.

In practice that means the standard parts behave the way you expect. There are four tabs at the bottom: Library, Stats, Market and Search. Settings sit behind the gear at the top of the Library. A small bar at the bottom lets you continue the book you were reading in one tap.

The reader is where the glass matters most. While you read, the controls collapse into a small capsule so that nothing competes with the word. The word itself never moves: the green focus letter stays in the same spot on its line from the first word to the last. Pause, and the page appears around the current word. Tap any word to go on from it.

What is inside

• Pace from 100 to 1000 words a minute, with pairs of short words, a reading timer, chapters and quotes.
• Your own books in EPUB, FB2, PDF, DOCX, HTML and TXT, cleaned of page numbers, headers, footnotes and similar clutter.
• A Market with free books from Project Gutenberg and Wikisource.
• Stats: a daily goal ring, a streak, a year calendar and pace charts.
• 15 interface languages, following your device language.

No account is needed, and there are no ads. Usage statistics are opt-in; the app asks once and sends nothing until you say yes.

Free and Pro

The app is free to download. Freadly Pro adds training programs of 14, 30 and 60 days, history over all time, unlimited word meanings and iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad. Pro costs $3.99 a month, $24.99 a year with the first week free, or $99.99 once. Everything free today stays free.
