Documentation

ReadAware is an AI-native reading app: one reader for EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, and PDF that builds memory across your books, highlights, and conversations. It is free, local-first, and runs on your own AI key.

Start here

• Download & install — installers for macOS, Windows, Linux, and Android, and what to do when your OS warns about an unsigned app.
• Getting started — import your books, read and annotate, connect an AI provider, and understand where your data lives.

Extend the app

• Plugin system — what plugins can do and how the trust model works.
• API reference — the full authoring contract: manifest, lifecycle, permissions, contributions, and views.
• Publishing — how to get your plugin into the in-app marketplace.
