Verso, a quiet EPUB reader for Safari

verso.lol Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Safari reader for importing, organizing, and reading EPUBs locally on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The workflow is deliberately local: install Verso, enable the Safari extension, and add EPUB files through drag-and-drop or a file picker. Reading can use scroll, one-page, or two-page layouts, with Light, Night owl, and Sepia themes plus font and text-width controls. The site says progress, highlights, bookmarks, and notes remain on the device, with no account, website access, or uploads.
