Adding books

Your own files: tap Import from Files and choose a DRM-free EPUB, PDF, TXT, HTML or Markdown file. You can also open such a file from Files or another app with “Open in Bookloft”.

Free classics: in Discover, add public-domain books from Project Gutenberg. Five Dostoevsky editions are built in and work offline; the rest download when you add them.

Books protected by DRM (Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books purchases) can't be opened; Bookloft never removes DRM.

Read Aloud

Press play in a book. The first time, Bookloft downloads its natural voices once (about 370 MB; Wi-Fi recommended). They are made by an AI voice model on your device, so narration works offline and your books are never uploaded. Choose a voice in Profile › Voice. Read Aloud keeps playing with the screen locked; use the lock screen or Control Center to pause.

If narration stops in the background, Profile › Read Aloud log shows what happened; you can share it in an issue.

Storage

Profile › Storage shows how much space each book uses and lets you remove a book’s download (your progress, bookmarks and notes are kept). Remove the voices in Profile › Voice.
