BeeReader downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. iPhone downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.
Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

About BeeReader
BeeReader turns your Apple Watch into a real book reader.
Import a .txt, EPUB, or PDF on your iPhone and BeeReader sends it straight to your wrist — no account, no cloud, no data collection. Everything is processed on your own devices.
WHY BEEREADER
• Read anywhere — on a walk, in line, in bed — without reaching for your phone.
• Works fully offline. Once a book is on your watch, you never need a connection.
• Distraction-free: just your text, the way reading should be.
FEATURES
• Import TXT, EPUB, and PDF from Files, iCloud Drive, or any app via the Share sheet.
• Digital Crown scrolling, with your reading position saved automatically.
• Hands-free auto-scroll at a steady, adjustable reading pace.
• Read-aloud on the watch itself — a built-in voice reads your book through your Bluetooth headphones while the page follows along.
• A "continue reading" watch-face complication — tap to jump right back into your book.
• Four easy-on-the-eyes themes (black, paper, sepia, and Night for a dark room) and adjustable text size.
• Automatic on-device cleanup for messy PDFs — fixes broken line breaks and strips page headers and footers.
• An on-phone bookshelf re-sends any book to a new Apple Watch in a tap.
PRIVACY FIRST
BeeReader has no account and collects no data. Your books never leave your devices.
The first few books are free. BeeReader Pro is a one-time purchase for unlimited imports — no subscription, ever.

Latest updates

BeeReader 1.35
• Immersive Reading on Apple Watch: turn it on in Reading Settings and the top bar steps aside while you read, giving the page more room. Scroll back to bring it back, or touch and hold for Library and Reading Settings.
• The iPhone app keeps text at a comfortable width on wide screens, such as landscape and larger displays.
1.34
BeeReader 1.34
• Plain-text (.txt) books saved in older encodings now import correctly instead of as garbled characters — including Windows text with curly quotes and accents, and Chinese, Japanese and Korean files from the web.
• If part of a file is damaged, only the affected line is touched; the rest of the book reads normally.
1.33
BeeReader 1.33
• Take a book's pictures with you: right after you send a book with pictures, tap “Send Pictures Too” — or turn on “Send Pictures with Books” in Settings, or tap “Send Pictures to Apple Watch” on a book's page. The pictures are then kept on the watch, so it can show them fully offline. Without them, your watch still gets each picture from your iPhone when you open it. Off by default — illustrated books take longer to send and use more space on the watch.
• Pictures stored as SVG drawings, which used to say their format couldn't be shown, now appear on the watch — open BeeReader on your iPhone while you look, or send the pictures ahead.
• Black-and-white illustrations such as engravings and line drawings come through much sharper, so they hold up when you zoom in with the Digital Crown.
• A picture in the text now shows as a card with its caption and “Touch and hold to view”, instead of a bare [Image] line.
• Deleting a book on the watch now removes its saved pictures as well.
