Reeden
Reeden is a cross-platform e-book reader for macOS that helps you organize, read, annotate, and listen to local digital books.
What is Reeden?
Reeden is a native reading app for macOS focused on managing and reading personal e-book libraries. It supports local-first reading workflows, letting you import books to a bookshelf, organize them with tags and layouts, and continue reading across devices when you choose to set up sync. The app is designed for readers who want more control over their library, notes, and reading habits than a simple file viewer provides. Reeden includes annotation tools such as highlights and notes, reading goals and statistics, and text-to-speech features for listening to books in the background. It is available across desktop and mobile platforms, making it useful for people who read on a Mac and also want access on other devices. Published by HongGuo Zhang, Reeden fits best as a productivity-focused reading companion for users with EPUB and other supported e-book files.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Reeden is a legitimate e-book reader for macOS and related platforms. Access to local files is normal for its purpose because it needs to import and open your books, and optional sync or online speech features may send reading data or text to services you choose to connect. If you use cloud sync, AI, translation, or online text-to-speech, review those service settings and avoid sharing sensitive documents unless you are comfortable with how that data is handled.
Recommendation: Keep Reeden if you use it to read or manage e-books on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer use the app, but expect to lose convenient access to its local app settings, reading history, and any app-managed library organization stored on this Mac unless you have exported or synced that information elsewhere.
