The short answer

What is FolioSpace Reader?

FolioSpace Reader is a native iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro app for personal EPUB, TXT, PDF, CBZ, ZIP, and webtoon reading. Import files directly, keep them available offline, or optionally connect one FolioSpace Library server without giving up the free core reader.

iPhone and iPad

A practical reader for the screen already with you.

Import books from Files, download titles from your optional private server, and keep reading offline. Books, PDFs, comics, and webtoons open in a focused full-screen reader on iPhone and iPad.

  • Unlimited local books: the free edition no longer limits the size of your on-device library.
  • Center tap: reveals or hides navigation controls without competing with page-turn edges.
  • iPad layouts: portrait favors one readable page; landscape uses a two-page spread when applicable.
  • Reading state: bookmarks, notes, progress, typography, and offline downloads stay close at hand.

iPhone keeps reading portable; iPad gives books and visual pages more room.

A study, not a stage set

The page is the center of the room.

FolioSpace Reader does not ask you to arrange a simulated shelf before you can read. Open a book, place the window at a comfortable distance, choose the page scale and sound you want, then let the controls recede.

01

Bring your own library

Import from Files or connect a supported private FolioSpace Library, Calibre-Web, or Komga library.

02

Set the reading scale

Use a generous page, a two-page spread, Focus Mode, or a smaller physical-scale Mini Book.

03

Keep your place

Reading progress, bookmarks, reading time, and recent books remain part of the reading surface.

Vision Pro · Pro experiment

Mini Book Mode brings the page back to human scale.

Mini Book Mode presents the book as a smaller, physical-scale reading object instead of filling a large floating window.

It reduces the preferred reading window, keeps the page proportions compact, and adds subtle page-stack and cover-edge details. The goal is not to model a decorative 3D book; it is to make a quiet object that feels natural to hold in your field of view.

  1. 1
    Open Reader Settings

    Select the gear button while a book is open.

  2. 2
    Find Experimental

    Mini Book Mode appears for users with FolioSpace Reader Pro.

Assistive page controls

Look, focus, then pinch or dwell.

1Look at a side rail

A thin control on the left or right receives focus.

2Pinch or use Dwell Control

Activate the focused control to turn one page.

3Continue reading

The control stays secondary to the page.

Important: this is an accessibility-focused control mode, not eye-only page turning.

Direct answers

FolioSpace Reader Q&A

What does full-screen lock do?

It keeps the menus out of the way in EPUBs and comics while leaving page turns, text selection and comic zoom available. Hold the small lock to restore the controls.

Do excerpts and comments sync to my server?

Local EPUB and TXT support excerpts, comments and bookmarks. Annotations on downloaded text EPUBs stay on this device, survive removing or rebuilding the download, and do not sync to Library or other devices.

What is Mini Book Mode?

It is a Pro reading experiment that presents the Vision Pro reading surface as a smaller, physical-scale book-like object. Enable it in Reader Settings under Experimental.

Does it turn pages with eyes alone?

No. Assistive Page Controls use gaze to focus a side control, then require a pinch or visionOS Dwell Control to activate the page turn.

Can I listen to the nature recordings offline?

The current sounds are nature recordings, not synthesized audio. An initial download is needed; saved recordings can play offline. Pro includes volume controls and a sleep timer.

How do I enter or leave full screen on iPhone or iPad?

The reader opens full screen. Tap the center region of the page to show or hide the controls; the outer page-turn areas remain available for navigation.

Does FolioSpace Reader provide books or comics?

No. FolioSpace Reader is a reading app and self-hosted library client for files and private services that you control. It does not bundle or distribute reading content.

Do I need FolioSpace Library to use the reader?

No. Import supported files directly and read unlimited local books for free. FolioSpace Library is optional when you want a self-hosted NAS or Docker source shared across devices.

What is free, and what does Pro add?

The free edition includes unlimited local books, core reading, bookmarks, notes, progress, offline downloads, and one saved FolioSpace Library server. Pro is a one-time purchase that adds advanced page effects, the full ambient sound collection, multiple libraries, Calibre-Web and Komga connections, Markdown notes export, and Vision Pro features such as Mini Book Mode.
