Make time for your own books.
SimpleTXT is an offline ebook reader for TXT and EPUB files, built for focused, distraction-free reading.
No ads, no account required, and large files open instantly. Import your books and read on the train, on a flight, or wherever there's no signal. Your place is saved for next time.
NO ADS, INSTANT OPENING
No banners, pop-ups, or ads to unlock the next page. Open your own TXT novels and text documents and settle into the words.
WI-FI TRANSFER, NO CABLE
Connect your phone and computer to the same Wi-Fi. Open the phone's transfer address in your computer's browser, then select or drag in TXT, EPUB, and ZIP files. No cable or desktop app needed.
TXT FILES AND SMART CHAPTERS
Import TXT files with automatic encoding and chapter detection. Customize chapter rules with building blocks or regular expressions, and preview the results.
EPUB, SIMPLIFIED
Import EPUB books with titles, authors, covers, and contents. Read the plain text in your preferred font and layout. Original formatting, illustrations, and interactive content are not preserved.
IMPORT BOOKS FROM ZIP
Choose multiple TXT or EPUB books from a ZIP archive. Each imported file, and each book inside a ZIP, can be up to 100 MB.
FULL-TEXT SEARCH AND BOOKMARKS
Search within a book, see excerpts and chapters, and tap to jump to highlighted matches. Search chapter titles, save bookmarks, or preview a position before jumping.
OFFLINE TEXT-TO-SPEECH
Read aloud from your place with sentence highlighting, 0.5×–3× speed, and voice selection and previews. Set a sleep timer for 15, 30, or 60 minutes, or the end of the chapter. Listen in the background with lock-screen and notification controls.
Offline listening needs a system TTS engine and an offline voice for the book's language. Available voices and quality vary by device.
READ YOUR WAY
Turn pages or scroll vertically. Auto-scroll offers five speeds with pause and resume. Use volume keys to turn pages in page mode.
Choose from five themes: Warm, Stone, Mint, Moss, and Night. Set fonts, size, line spacing, margins, first-line indent, and brightness.
ORGANIZE YOUR BOOKS
Browse in grid or list view. Search and sort books, filter by category and status, and add books to multiple categories. Manage categories, status, and deletions in batches.
SEE YOUR READING HABITS
Track daily and weekly reading time, yearly heatmaps, reading days, finished books, and streaks. See your top three books by time and usual reading hours. Each book has its own time, days, and progress history; past stats remain after deletion.
LOCAL PROCESSING, NO ACCOUNT
Books are processed and managed locally, with no cloud upload needed to read. The app uses Firebase Analytics for usage analytics. System backups follow your device settings. See the privacy policy for details.
