UniReader for Mac
Everything you read, in one place.
Our reading is scattered. A PDF here, an EPUB there, comics in an archive, an old DjVu that nothing seems to open — and every format wants its own app.
We think reading should start with the book, not with the file. UniReader opens them all, keeps them together on your Mac, and then gets out of the way.
Try everything free for 10 days. After that, PDF, EPUB and TXT stay free, and so do the first 7 pages of FB2 books.
How it works
- 1
Bring your books
Show UniReader the folders where your books already live — on your Mac, an external drive or iCloud Drive. Nothing is moved.
- 2
Open anything
PDF, EPUB, comics, DjVu, MOBI, Word and the rest open at once, with their cover and their table of contents. No conversion, no extra app.
- 3
Read your way
Highlight, take notes, listen, ask about a difficult page — and come back tomorrow exactly where you stopped.
15 formats, one reader
Novels and manga, manuals and scanned books, office documents and old e‑book formats — each one opens natively, without being converted.
- EPUB
- DjVu
- MOBI
- AZW3
- CHM
- FB2
- DOC
- DOCX
- RTF
- TXT
- Markdown
- LIT
- CBZ
- CBR
Reading assistant
Ask about the page in front of you
Stuck on a passage? Ask for a summary, an explanation, a translation, or a few questions to check you understood — like a private tutor sitting next to the book.
You use your own AI account: OpenRouter in one click, OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, or a local model with Ollama. Nothing leaves your Mac until you ask.
Listen while you read
The text and its recording, side by side
Attach the recordings that go with a text — a language course, an audiobook’s chapters — and play them next to the page. Each track remembers where you stopped.
It is the simplest way we know to learn a language: read, listen, and read again.
Made for reading
Every feature serves one purpose: letting you think about what you read, not about the file.
Reading themes
Day, night, sepia or paper; your font, your margins; page by page or scrolling.
Highlights and notes
Highlight in color, add bookmarks, write notes — math formulas included — and export them as Markdown or PDF.
Read aloud
Have the text read to you, with the voice and the speed you choose.
Articles and references
Mark a folder as articles and it becomes a table of references. DOI and arXiv numbers are read from the PDF, BibTeX in one click.
Tabs and windows
Several books in tabs, grouped by color, in as many windows as you like, with Back and Forward between pages.
Book details online
Find a book’s title, author, ISBN and cover in Open Library and Crossref, and keep what is right.
Large libraries stay quick
Collections, smart collections with rules, search and covers — thousands of books, without waiting.
Mac and iPhone together
Pair the Mac with UniReader on iPhone and iPad and keep both libraries in step.
Print
PDF, DjVu and comics print page by page from File → Print.
Private by design
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your books, notes and habits stay on your Mac.
21 languages
The app speaks 21 languages, right-to-left scripts included.

Questions
Which formats does UniReader open?
PDF, EPUB, DjVu, MOBI, AZW3, CHM, FB2, DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT, Markdown, LIT, and CBZ and CBR comics — 15 formats, each opened without conversion.
Is it free?
PDF, EPUB and TXT are free to read for as long as you like, and so are the first 7 pages of FB2 books. For the first 10 days every feature is open; after that, Premium unlocks the other formats and the advanced tools — by month, by year, or once for life.
Does it open Kindle or Adobe-protected books?
No. UniReader opens the files you own that carry no DRM. Books locked by Amazon Kindle, Adobe Digital Editions or Apple Books need the app of the store that sold them.
Do I need an account? Is anything tracked?
No account is needed to read. There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking: your files and your reading stay on your Mac.
What does the reading assistant see?
Only what you send, when you ask. It uses your own account with the provider you choose; UniReader never receives your key or your pages. With a local model, nothing leaves your Mac at all.
Can I use it on several devices?
Yes. One purchase covers Mac, iPhone and iPad with the same Apple Account, and your progress, highlights and notes can follow you.
Your books. Your device. Your privacy.
Free to start, 10 days to try everything.
