What is Silverlinger?

Silverlinger is a native, document-first EPUB reader designed specifically for macOS. Unlike conventional e-book managers that force you into bloated internal libraries or cloud accounts, Silverlinger treats Finder as the single source of truth for your books.

Key Highlights:

  • Document-First Mindset: Double-click any DRM-free .epub from Finder to read immediately in its own native window. No forced copying into hidden app directories.
  • Granular Typography Control: Override fonts with any installed macOS system font (including San Francisco, New York, or custom fonts), and fine-tune font size, line spacing, margins, and letter spacing.
  • Native macOS Feel: Built with Swift, featuring native window management, toolbar, dark/warm/light themes, keyboard navigation, and full-screen support.
  • 100% Local & Privacy-Preserving: Completely offline. No account required, no tracking, and your original EPUB files remain strictly read-only. Reading state, bookmarks, and highlights stay securely in your local app sandbox.
  • Apple Notarized: Signed with Apple Developer ID and fully notarized. Optimized for Apple Silicon.
