What is ReadAny?
ReadAny is a desktop e-book reader for macOS focused on reading and working with digital books in many common formats. It helps readers open and organize EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW, AZW3, FB2, CBZ, and similar files in one library. The app adds context-aware AI chat so you can ask questions about the book you are currently reading, selected passages, and chapter content. It also includes semantic search, highlighting, notes, text-to-speech, translation, and reading progress features that support study, research, and long-form reading workflows. Sync options such as WebDAV, S3, and LAN are designed to keep your library, annotations, and progress available across devices. ReadAny is suited to students, researchers, and general readers who want a native reading app with knowledge-management tools.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
ReadAny is a legitimate reading app, but it can handle book content, notes, sync data, and optional AI features. Access to local files is normal for an e-book reader, and network activity is expected if you use sync services or online AI providers. If you read sensitive documents, review which sync or AI options you enable and avoid sending private material to external services unless you are comfortable with that use.
Recommendation: Keep ReadAny if you use it for reading or managing e-books on your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove it like other apps, though doing so may also remove access to its local library data, notes, and app settings unless you back them up first.
