Timebound
A calm home for the books you already own.
Timebound is a simple, focused reader for your own EPUBs. Bring in the books you already have, then just read, swipe-to-turn pages, a warm sepia or quiet dark theme, and type set exactly how you like it.
Your books, your device
Timebound opens the non-DRM EPUBs you already own, bought direct, downloaded from Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks, or written yourself. There is no store to browse, no account to make, and nothing uploaded. Add a book from the Files app or send it over with AirDrop and "Open in," and it stays on your phone.
What you get
- Import your own non-DRM EPUBs via Files or AirDrop / "Open in"
- Swipe-to-turn paged reading, or switch to continuous scroll
- Light, sepia, and dark themes
- Type made for reading, adjustable font, size, spacing, and margins
- Beautiful built-in fonts, including the highly legible Atkinson Hyperlegible
- In-screen brightness and a keep-awake toggle for long sessions
- Full-text search within a book, with a tap to jump to any hit
- Table of contents and resume-where-you-left-off
- iCloud sync of your shelf and reading position across your devices
Quiet by design
Timebound is free and ad-supported. Your reading stays private either way: your books live on your device and in your own iCloud, and Timebound doesn't track what or how you read.
