Lore: Dive Into Book Worlds

Lore is a quiet EPUB reader that remembers the book for you.
Open any book and you always know who's who and what just happened, and never a page further than you've read.

WHY LORE
Long novels lose people. Forty characters, three names each, two weeks between sittings, and suddenly you are back in chapter nine working out who betrayed whom. Lore keeps that thread for you, without ever getting ahead of you.

A SHELF THAT ISN'T EMPTY
Lore opens on The Archives: a curated collection of classics you can search by title or author and download without leaving the app. Already have books? Import your own DRM-free EPUB files and they land on the same shelf.

THE READING PART, DONE PROPERLY
Four themes: Light, Sepia, Dark and an OLED black for reading at night. Four typefaces: serif, sans, mono and cursive. Set font size, line spacing and margins until the page looks right. Automatic hyphenation breaks long words at the syllable, so lines stay even. Portrait or landscape.
Page numbers are measured for your type settings, so the count holds still. See the pages left in the chapter, jump straight to a page, or move around from the chapter list.
Lore reads EPUB, and it does that one format well: no PDF, no MOBI, no AZW.

WHEN YOU LOSE THE THREAD
- A character guide: who someone is, what else they are called, and how they are tied to everyone else.
- Chapter recaps: the key events and turning points of the stretch you just finished.
- Ask a question about the story so far and get an answer from the book.
- Talk to a character from the book, one to one.
- Illustrated scenes and portraits, collected per book.

NOTHING PAST THE PAGE YOU'RE ON
All of that is locked to the page you have actually reached. Not a promise, a limit written into the app. Pick a 900-page novel back up after three weeks away, get your bearings, and still not know how it ends.

HOW THE GUIDES ARE BUILT
Character profiles, recaps and answers are built from the book's own text, using AI that is only ever given the pages you have already read.

MADE FOR
- Russian novels where everyone has three different names
- Doorstop fantasy with a cast list longer than chapter one
- Coming back to a book three weeks later

LANGUAGES AND ACCOUNT
English, Turkish, Spanish, German and French. A free Google or Apple account is required. Your analyses and your spark balance are tied to your account; your library and your reading position stay on your device. You can delete your account in the app at any time.

SPARKS AND PREMIUM
Reading is free. Importing your own EPUB and downloading from The Archives are free. Sparks are spent when you analyse a book, ask a question, chat with a character or create an illustration. Once a book is analysed, its character guide and chapter recaps are yours to browse as often as you like, at no further cost.
Lore Premium is an auto-renewing subscription, sold in three plans: Weekly at $9.99 a week for 1,000 sparks each week, Monthly at $14.99 a month for 2,000 sparks each month, and Yearly at $149.99 a year for 2,000 sparks each month. Prices are in U.S. dollars and vary by region. Each refill sets your balance to the plan amount, so unused sparks do not carry over. Promo codes are accepted.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is switched off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings.
