What is Glyph?
An iOS app for reading web novels. It has no content of its own; it connects to novel sites through community-built extensions. Think of it as a browser made for reading.
Is it free?
Yes. Free, no ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
Where do extensions come from?
The community shares them as repository URLs. You add a URL in Settings → Extensions, fetch the available sources, and install. Anyone can build one with the SDK.
Can I read offline?
Yes. Download any chapter (or all of them) from a novel’s detail page. Downloads stay on your device and read without a connection.
Does it track me?
