Questions people ask

How do I add a book?

Tap + on the shelf and choose a PDF from Files, drag one in from another app, or use Share → Apricity from wherever the PDF is. Apricity keeps its own copy, so the original can stay where it is.

Why does Reflow look odd on some pages?

Reflow rebuilds the text of a PDF so you can choose the type. Tables, equations and magazine layouts don't always survive that well. The Original view, one tap away at the top of the reader, always shows the page exactly as it was published.

How do I get a natural voice?

Open a book, tap the headphones, then the speed button and Voice. Download Kokoro (about 98 MB, English) for ten natural voices that run on your device, or download one of Apple's Premium voices in Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices.

Where are my notes and notebooks kept?

On your device, inside the app. Export notes as Markdown from a book's Notes panel, and any notebook as a PDF from its share button. Deleting the app deletes everything in it, so export anything you want to keep first.

Does Apricity need an account or the internet?

No account, ever. Reading, notes, notebooks, soundscapes and the focus timer all work offline. The internet is used only to look up a new book's cover on Open Library (you can turn this off in Settings) and to download the Kokoro voice if you choose to.

Privacy

Your books, notes and notebooks stay on your device, and Apricity has no accounts, analytics, advertising or tracking. The details are in the Apricity Privacy Policy.
