Release notes

What’s new in each version of OnlyText.

1.1.0

October 2026

More book formats and an Apple Watch remote

New

  • More formats: read MOBI and AZW3 (Kindle books without DRM), FB2, DOCX, ODT, RTF and HTML, with their table of contents, title and author.
  • PDF: view the original, or read it as text with your own font and size using reflow or text recognition (OCR).
  • Apple Watch remote: turn pages on your iPhone by tapping your watch, using Double Tap (Series 9, Ultra 2 and later) or turning the Digital Crown. Double Tap works only with your wrist raised and the screen on; with your wrist resting, use the crown or tap the screen. Choose page-turn vibration, how many crown clicks turn one page (4 by default) and crown sensitivity.
  • Continue reading: the three most recent books on the first screen, plus a Reading History you can clear.
  • Display settings: pick any font installed on your device, use the Settings app font, choose line breaking, and show the time and battery at the top.
  • On the last page, open the next book in the same folder (or the previous one from the first page).
  • Shortcuts: “Next Page” and “Previous Page” actions you can assign to iOS Back Tap and more.
  • Labs: tap the back of your iPhone to turn pages (adjustable strength; double tap for previous is optional).

Improved

  • Folder import: progress with cancel, a fix for folders on real devices, and guidance for network drives.
  • Files from Google Drive and other cloud apps that aren’t on the device yet are downloaded first, with clear guidance if that fails.
  • Coco now sits next to the library title.
  • Redeem promo codes.
  • Removed the experimental Camera Control page turning.
