IV. The Morning Train
The city was slowly waking. A book lay on the windowsill, open exactly where he had left it the night before, and the first light leaned into the room between its pages.

He made coffee, sat by the window and read on.

App preview. Books and covers are made up.
01 / HOW IT WORKS
BOOKITCA sells nothing and asks you to sign up for nothing. It reads and plays files you already own.
02 / READING
A quiet reader where nothing competes with the text for attention.
03 / LISTENING
Audiobooks live in the same library. Switch over and continue.
04 / PRIVACY
Your books stay in your storage. Positions, bookmarks, highlights, collections and custom covers are saved as small files in the same folder, where your iPad or second iPhone picks them up. Stats stay on your phone. The app has no ads and no analytics.
05 / LIBRARY
It opens where you left off: at the book you are reading, or the one you are listening to. And you arrange it the way that makes sense to you.
06 / THEMES

BOOKITCA does not sell books. It opens files you already have: DRM-free ebooks, audiobooks, your own recordings. Public domain titles are available through OPDS catalogs, with Project Gutenberg built in.
Ebooks in EPUB and PDF documents. Audiobooks as M4B with chapters, M4A or MP3. A folder of files is one book, each file one chapter.
Watermarked books (so-called social DRM) work fine. Books encrypted with Adobe DRM will not open.
The beta supports Dropbox, iCloud Drive and WebDAV (Synology, Nextcloud or your own server). OneDrive, Google Drive, Box and pCloud are in progress.
Nothing. No ads, no subscription. If you like it, you can leave an optional tip in the app.
iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later.
