I built EpubCraft — a native EPUB editor for Mac & iPad that runs 100% on-device
Hi r/ePub ! I built EpubCraft — a native EPUB editor for Mac & iPad that runs 100% on-device
I got tired of clunky, web-based EPUB tools that make you upload your manuscript to who-knows-where, so I built EpubCraft — a full EPUB editor that runs entirely on your Mac or iPad, with nothing ever leaving your device.
What it does:
- 📥 Imports anything — EPUB, DOCX, Markdown, TXT, or ZIP
- ✍️ Two ways to edit — a visual editor or the raw HTML/CSS source
- 📤 Exports everywhere — standard EPUB, Kindle KFX, and Kobo KEPUB in a couple of taps without other dependencies.
- 🔍 OCR Studio — turns scanned PDFs into clean, editable text
- 🧩 Power-user tools — merge several EPUBs into one, reusable chapter templates, book-wide regex find/replace, plus cover, font, and footnote management
No need to wrestle with a desktop toolchain like Calibre or Sigil.
The details:
- 💰 Paid, one-time purchase — no subscriptions, no accounts, no tracking
- 🖥️ Available on the App Store for both iPad and macOS
Happy to answer questions or take feature requests — it's an indie project, so feedback genuinely shapes what I build next. 🙏
