A lightweight reader for your PDFs and EPUBs, entirely in your browser; no install, no account, no ecosystem. Highlight both formats, keep a per-book journal, and read offline. Your files stay on your device. Sync to your own Google Drive coming soon.
I read on a Mac, a Windows laptop, and my phone, and no app could follow me across all three. Apple Books is stuck on Apple, Kindle on Amazon, and Calibre is a heavy desktop install. I just wanted to open my own PDFs and EPUBs anywhere and keep my highlights with me.
So I made ReadHere. It runs entirely in your browser: read PDF and EPUB, highlight and take notes in both, keep a per-book journal, all of it offline. No account, no upload, your books stay on your device.
It's free. To be honest about where it's at: everything is local to your browser right now. Syncing to your own Google Drive (yours, not mine) is what I'm building next, and there's a waitlist if that's your thing.
Would love your honest feedback, especially on how it actually feels to read in. Thanks for taking a look 🙏
