"I love stories, but keeping track of 50 characters over 1,400 chapters started feeling like homework. I built EnrichReader to handle the memory work so I could stop studying and just enjoy the story."
EnrichReader is a reading app for long stories. For partner series, it shows who each character is and what has happened so far as you read, only up to your current chapter. No spoilers.
EnrichReader runs as an Android app and as a web reader in any modern browser. On iPhone and iPad, open the web reader and add it to your Home Screen. Some books also have a reading guide on our website, but the app gives you the full experience: your book and its companion in one place, even offline once you download them.
You can import your own lawfully obtained, DRM-free book files. Skins are separate companion data for partner series, so you still need your own copy of the book.
A wiki article can reveal a character’s whole story at once. With a matching Skin, EnrichReader limits character profiles, lore, and relevant artwork to your reading position.
You can import any book and read any story in the app. Partner series also have a Skin, which adds character profiles and lore that follow your progress. The list of partner series changes often, so the best way to check is to search for your series in the app.
Yes. Your books are stored on your device. Install the app and download the book and any Skin before you go offline. Your book files are not uploaded. See our privacy policy for details.
No. You can read your own books without an account. You only need one to install Skins and to sync.
With a matching Skin installed, open character profiles and the lore directory at your saved reading position to refresh your memory. Information is limited to that position, so check it is correct before looking up a character.
