justRead Main Features

• High customization
  Tune every aspect of the reading experience: font family (full font picker including system + bundled fonts), font size, line spacing, paragraph spacing, page margins, text alignment, hyphenation, scroll vs paginated mode, and full-screen or chrome-on layouts. Brightness slider works independently of system brightness. Layout settings persist per-book or as global defaults, so each title remembers your preferences.
• Reading Statistics
  Detailed analytics across year, month, and hour-of-day breakdowns. Reading speed estimation, pages-per-day trends, longest streaks, time spent per book, and finish-rate metrics. Each book has its own progress chart and stats sheet showing time invested and pages remaining.
• Calibre Integration
  Two-way sync with a local Calibre server: pull books and metadata via OPDS, push reading progress back to Calibre custom columns, and send books from device to library. Bonjour auto-discovery finds Calibre servers on your network. Field mapping lets you choose which Calibre columns track justRead progress and ratings.
• OPDS Catalog Browsing
  Connect to any OPDS-compatible catalog (Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, self-hosted servers) to browse and download EPUBs directly into your library. Multiple servers stored side by side.
• Smart Library Management
  Pick any folder on device or iCloud Drive as your library root. Organize with collections, tags, custom filters, and a grid or list view. Alphabet jumper for fast scrolling. Bulk operations for tagging or moving books into collections. Library-wide statistics sheet shows totals, unread counts, and progress.
• Reading Goals and Streaks
  Set daily reading goals (minutes or pages). The home screen tracks current streak, longest streak, and goal completion. Milestone celebrations trigger when you finish a book or hit a streak record, with shareable cards for social posts.
• iCloud Sync Across Devices
  CloudKit sync via SQLiteData keeps library metadata, reading progress, bookmarks, highlights, collections, tags, color presets, and reading sessions in step across iPhone and iPad. Home and lock screen widgets display current book, daily goal progress, and streak so reading stays visible outside the app.
• EPUB Reader Powered by Readium
  Built on the Readium 3.7 toolkit for accurate rendering of reflowable EPUB 2 and 3 files, including embedded fonts, footnotes, images (full-screen viewer), tables of contents, and complex layouts. Tap-to-paginate, swipe, or scroll. In-book search with mini-bar, integrated dictionary lookup, and footnote popovers.
• Highlights, Bookmarks, and Notes
  One-touch bookmarks, multi-color highlights with optional notes, and a global highlights browser. Export highlights as Markdown or formatted PDF. Share individual highlights or milestones as styled image cards. Full-text search across all highlights.
• Color Presets with Sunrise/Sunset Auto-Switch
  Build unlimited color presets (background, text, accent, highlight tint) and switch between them with one tap. Optional auto-activation rotates presets based on local sunrise/sunset times, so the app shifts to a warm dim theme at night and a crisp light theme by day without manual toggling.

justRead Benefits

• Own Your Library
  No vendor lock-in. Books live in your folder, on your device, in your iCloud. Switch readers anytime; files stay yours.
• Keep What Matters
  Highlights, bookmarks, and notes stay searchable forever. Export to Markdown or PDF for Obsidian, Notion, or printed reference.
• Read Day or Night
  Auto sunrise/sunset color presets shift the screen warm at night and crisp by day. No manual toggling, no eye strain.
• See Your Progress
  Stats turn vague reading habits into concrete numbers: time per day, pages per hour, books per month. Proof you actually read.
• Sync Without Effort
  Start on iPhone, finish on iPad. iCloud keeps progress, highlights, and library identical across devices with zero setup.
• Build a Reading Habit
  Goals and streaks reward daily consistency. Small wins stack up; the streak counter makes skipping a day feel costly.
• Read the Way You Want
  Fonts, colors, margins, spacing, brightness, page mode all bend to your taste. Your reading setup, not a designer's compromise.
• Reading Stays Visible
  Home and lock screen widgets surface current book, goal progress, and streak. Reading nudges you instead of hiding in an app.
• Bring Your Own Catalog
  Calibre and OPDS support pull from your home server, Standard Ebooks, or Gutenberg. No store, no DRM, no monthly fee for content you already own.
• Stay Out of the Algorithm
  No feeds, no social graph, no recommendations. Pure reading time replaces doomscrolling minutes.
