A fast, beautiful reader for the books you own.
Novus is a desktop ebook reader. Import your EPUBs, read offline, and keep your library on your own machine. Free, and no account required.
A reader, not a library manager.
Open Novus and you are reading, not configuring. It does the few things a reader should, and does them well.
- Yours and offline
- Your books and your reading stay on your machine. No upload, no cloud quietly holding your library.
- Made for long sessions
- Hand-tuned light, sepia, and dark surfaces with real typography, set for hours of comfortable reading.
- Native, not a browser
- Built on Tauri and Rust, so Novus opens fast and stays quick as your library grows.
- Sync when you want it
- Optional progress sync across your devices, included free. Turn it on only if you need it.
Simple pricing.
Everything you need to read is free, forever. A one-time Pro license is planned for later.
