PageWave

PageWave – where books belong.

PageWave brings order, clarity, and joy to your book collection. Import your own audiobooks and eBooks, organize them at a glance, and enjoy them in a clean, elegant design.

PageWave is made for people who like to own their content but still want a modern app experience.

Your library and progress sync automatically across your Apple devices via iCloud — start on your iPhone and pick up seamlessly on your iPad, no manual transfer required. Or store your library on your own WebDAV server (NAS, Nextcloud, etc.).

Activation
To unlock the full feature set, a purchase is required — available as a one-time in-app purchase or a subscription. Audiobooks and eBooks themselves cannot be purchased or subscribed to within the app.

Privacy
PageWave does not process personal data beyond what's needed for the app to function. That data stays local on your device or — if enabled — in your iCloud account or on your own WebDAV server. PageWave has no backend of its own.

The books shown in the screenshots are sample content and are not part of the app.
