readio

Terminal ebook reader styled as an AI coding agent interface

Desktopfree

readio is an open-source terminal ebook reader and local text-to-speech player for EPUB, PDF, Markdown and plain text, built in Rust as a keyboard-first terminal interface styled after an AI coding agent's interaction pattern. Chapters, formatting and search results are drawn from the real book content, and it ships as a single small binary with no bundled model or required cloud account. It is aimed at developers who want to read books without leaving the terminal.
