    Foxycape AI Reader
    Built for deep reading. Knowledge within reach.
    
    Professional books, academic papers, personal libraries—ever felt caught between “never finishing, never finding, never getting organized”?
    
    Foxycape AI Reader is designed for study and research.
    AI-powered, local-first—one library, readable everywhere you go.
    
    AI that supports you, faithful to the text
    AI is at our core—but we believe it should extend how you think, not replace it.
    
    AI summaries
    We hold a strict “zero hallucination” standard: summaries stay true to the source. They also adapt to the kind of book you’re reading—technical manuals paired with technical models, literature with literary models—for accurate, efficient distillation.
    
    AI Q&A
    Select text and ask the AI in one tap. The app suggests related questions so you can go deeper; “trace to source” jumps straight to the original passage so reading and inquiry stay seamlessly connected.
    
    AI vision
    Works with images in ePub and PDF plus photos on your device. During a conversation you can snap back to the source anytime for efficient image-and-text workflows.
    
    Custom AI providers
    Defaults to a well-matched model (e.g. DeepSeek), with flexible setup for major AI services and compatibility with private, local deployment via Ollama. Your data, your choices.
    
    Local-first, privacy you can trust
    All books stay on your device by default—the reader does not upload your data on its own. Cloud sync is optional and only on when you want it—you’re always in control.
    
    Available everywhere
    Windows · macOS · Linux · browser extensions (Chrome & Edge) · Android · iOS
    One library across devices—reading progress stays seamlessly in sync.
    
    A reading experience made for focus
    Instant loading: open a book and start reading—no needless waiting.
    
    Automatic chapter streaming: as you scroll, what comes before and after loads smoothly—no manual page-turning.
    
    Multiple layouts: continuous scroll, single page, two-page spread, and auto pagination—two-up for large screens, scroll for long immersive reads.
    
    Typography & themes: built-in system fonts, one-tap switching; five background images and six themes (including dark mode) for comfortable reading at night.
    
    Image browsing: swipe or use on-screen controls to preview images throughout the book.
    
    Smart bookshelf & file management
    Grid or list view—browse your library the way you prefer.
    
    Batch import + auto categorization: import an entire local folder in one step; categories are generated from subfolder names, so you skip tedious manual sorting.
    
    Cloud drive integration: Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, and Baidu Netdisk make it easy to sync the library you already have.
    
    Beyond books—built for serious readers
    Broad format support: ePub, PDF, and other mainstream formats—professional publishing and everyday reading.
    
    Code highlighting: TypeScript, C#, C++, and more—technical titles stay readable and clear.
    
    Audio & video: rich ePubs with images, audio, and video are fully supported.
    
    Mind maps: annotations and notes become visual knowledge maps; tap any node to jump back to the source in a second.
    
    Search & translation: Google, Bing, and other global engines, plus Mita AI and Nano AI; AI translation across 130+ languages in both directions—even less common languages stay easy to find.
    
    Text-to-speech: integrates on-device TTS, Edge TTS, and Microsoft Azure TTS—listen to ePub and PDF alike.
    
    Details you’ll love
    One-tap copy of original images from PDFs—no screenshots; paste crisp assets into Word or any other app.
    
    PDF backgrounds follow your theme: no harsh white glare; pages blend with the overall look and feel.
    
    Foxycape AI Reader
    More than a reader—it’s your personal knowledge base.
    It respects your privacy, understands how you read, and refines every detail so you can go deeper and further.
