An e-reader for the Galaxy Z Fold 8

Let the world know what you're reading.

You read on the big screen inside. Your book's cover shows on the outside, for the whole train to see. Reading was always cool. Now it's visible.

No ads. No account. No subscription. Just books.

The trick

Two screens. One tiny flex.

Alice in Wonderland open on the inner screen in pure black dark mode

Inside, it's just you and the book.

A page curl that feels like paper, two pages side by side when you want them, and a pure black dark mode that's easy on your eyes and your battery.

Features

What kind of reader are you?

Pick one. I won't tell anyone. Your cover screen might, though.

The show-off

You didn't buy a foldable to hide it.

  • Your book's cover fills the outer screen while you read inside.
  • Close the phone and the cover stays up.
  • Decorate it with stickers, or use any picture you like.
  • Reading something spicy? Show a different book on the outside. Your library stays honest.
  • It dims after a while and shifts a few pixels, so your screen stays happy too.

FAQ

Questions you're right to ask.

Starting with the important ones.

Is my stuff safe?

Yes. There are no ads, no trackers, and no account. Your books never leave your phone.

There isn't even a Performatively server, so there's nothing for me to leak, sell, or lose.

Then why does it need the internet?

Only for two things, and only if you turn them on. Sign in with Google, and it saves your place in each book to a hidden folder in your own Google Drive. Not your books, files, stickers, or highlights.

Add your own library server, like Calibre-Web, Kavita, or Komga, and it connects only to that server to show your books and download the ones you pick.

Use neither, and the app never goes online. You can delete the synced data or remove a server anytime in Settings.

What can it see on my phone?

Only the book folders you pick, through Android's own folder picker. Nothing else.

Read aloud uses your phone's own voices, so what you read stays on your phone too.

Was it made by AI?

It's AI-assisted. Every idea, feature, design, sticker, and word is mine. AI helps me write the code faster.

Then I test every build on my own Fold 8, real testers try each update, and Google Play checks it before it goes out. Nothing ships just because a robot said it was fine.

Will it work on my phone?

It's made for the Galaxy Z Fold 8. Other foldables with an outer screen may work too.

On a regular phone, you can still read and show your decorated cover full screen. You'll need Android 14 or newer.

Can it open my Kindle books?

Probably not. Books from Kindle and most stores are locked to their own apps. DRM-free EPUBs, PDFs, TXT files, and comics all work.

How much is it?

You pay once. No ads, no subscription, and no premium version hiding the good stuff.

When can I get it? Soon

It's being tested on Google Play right now. So, really soon. Like, really soon.
