Varq
A native, open-source e-reader for macOS. Built in Swift/SwiftUI — no Electron, no web wrappers.
The Apple Books polish Calibre never had. Reads EPUB, PDF, and CBZ with a warm, distinctly Indian visual soul.
Library
Drag and drop EPUB, PDF, CBZ. Auto-extracted covers, titles, authors. Duplicate detection. Sortable grid.
Reader
Native paginated EPUB/PDF. Arrow keys, swipe, click zones. Remembers exact position per book.
Highlights
Persistent highlights in terracotta and saffron. Notes with citation markers. Export to Markdown or JSON.
Private
Touch ID-gated private shelf. Real CryptoKit encryption at rest — not just UI hiding.
Read
Five warm reading modes. Light, Indigo, Black, Monochrome — plus an independent Sepia page tone.
A native reading space for your library, your highlights, and your next chapter.
