Newt lets you read, write, and listen to any book—with an AI assistant built into every story. Visualize scenes, generate covers and images, and ask anything about your book or writing, even offline. A whole new way to create and experience books.

Hey everyone! I'm really excited (and quite a bit nervous too) to finally share Newt with you. It's a native app for iOS, Android, and macOS that lets you read, write, and listen to any book — with an AI assistant built into every story and a powerful plugin-based reader/editor that adapts to your creativity. Here’s what you can do with Newt: 📖 Read full books, ask questions, or get instant summaries 🔊 Listen to books with synced text highlighting, from start or any paragraph 🎨 Visualize scenes from any part of the story — or ask AI to explain them 🧠 Write your own stories or import existing ones 🧩 Use a WYSIWYG editor where every block is modular: add images, videos, tables, math, even interactive buttons ✍️ Use inline AI to apply edits, insert text, rewrite, replace, and more — all without leaving your story 🖼️ Tap “Visualize” to turn your words into images, or prompt ComposerAI to generate one for you 📚 Auto-generate book covers and backgrounds with AI 🚀 Use AI offline — ComposerAI works without an internet connection 🧰 Build a complete book with visuals in minutes 🔄 Enjoy offline-first sync: keep reading, writing, and listening even without internet, and everything syncs automatically when you're back online 🎧 Coming soon: Ultra high-quality audiobooks Newt is for readers, writers, wordsmiths, and anyone who loves stories really — whether you’re diving into a classic, writing your first book, or just imagining what a scene might look like. This is a passion project my wife and I have built from scratch — just the two of us. It’s been quite the rollercoaster (especially with a toddler), but we really put some thought and love into it and we're really proud of the result; we’re still adding features and new books and making it better every day. We’d love your feedback, your ideas… or even just a hello 😊 Thank you so much for reading and we hope you like it!

This is insanely impressive—Newt feels like a creative playground disguised as a reader. Love the modular editor and offline AI. One question: will there be ways for readers and writers to interact around a book? Could open up a whole new layer of storytelling.

@shreyans_assistiv Thanks Shreyans!

They can interact around a book, right now through comments (press into any paragraph/block, and you should see the options), but we're developing several features to have community-driven books if the writer opts in, sort of like Git does with Pull Requests for example.

@shreyans_assistiv Thanks Shreyans!
