Description
Fanficly is a calm, private, and unofficial home for the Archive of Our Own (AO3) fanfiction you love. Designed from the ground up for a premium reading experience for FREE, it is available across your iPhone, iPad, and MacBook with automatic iCloud synchronization.
READ WITHOUT BORDERS
Fanficly is completely private. You can use the app to browse, search, and read without ever logging in. Your library, reading history, and bookmarks are stored locally on your device and synced securely via iCloud. No tracking, no ads, and no analytical servers.
SEAMLESS IMPORT & DRAG-AND-DROP
Bring your favorite stories with you. Queue and import AO3 links directly from Safari using the system share sheet, or drag and drop EPUB files directly into the app. Export your library or individual works back to EPUB, PDF, or HTML anytime.
A READER CUSTOMIZED FOR EVERY DEVICE
Enjoy a reading layout tailored to your environment. Adjust fonts, font size, line spacing, paragraph spacing, character spacing, bold text, and margins. Fanficly remembers your settings per device, so your iPhone opens your compact layout while your MacBook uses your wide desktop preset. Read in continuous scroll, swipe by chapter, or horizontal page-by-page. Your place is saved down to the exact paragraph — and the Home Screen widget shows your last-read story with its progress, so you can jump straight back in on any device.
LISTEN ON THE GO
Tap the headphones icon to have any chapter read aloud. Fanficly uses your device's high-quality local text-to-speech engine, allowing you to listen in the background, from the lock screen, or using your own cloned Personal Voice. Zero data usage, 100% free.
ACCESSIBLE BY DESIGN
Built to be read with VoiceOver as comfortably as with your eyes: labeled controls everywhere, page turns and chapter jumps as VoiceOver actions, and a fully accessible narration player and widgets.
YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY
Create custom folders, pin important stories, and star your favorites. Follow works to be notified when new chapters drop without needing an account. Save your favorite search queries and tags, and sort your library with custom category sorting to keep everything perfectly organized. A progress bar on every started story shows exactly how far you've read.
DISCOVER & CONNECT
See what's trending in the Popular tab — the most-loved fandoms, ships, and characters. Follow your favorite authors and be notified when they post something new, no account required. Log in to open your AO3 bookmarks in their own tab, and read or post chapter comments in the app.
