The desktop reader stores your imported files, notes, highlights, progress and local music on your device. It does not upload your library or require an app account. Local storage is not encrypted; protect your computer and keep backups. Uninstall keeps the library so you can recover it.

Local trials and rewards

The app keeps trial start/end times, local reward outcomes, cooldown dates and licence status on your device. These are not sent to a promotion server. The free reward wheel is separate from paid checkout.

Publisher previews

The Free app stores a local active-use timer and completed-preview count to schedule two original YomiShelf Premium trailers after thirty active minutes. Active Premium access is ad-free. These counts stay on your device; no advertising network receives them and no third-party advertising income is generated.

Optional daily discoveries

When you enable online discoveries, the app requests predefined factual catalogue metadata from Wikidata. Your library, reading history and search terms are not sent. The provider receives ordinary connection information such as your IP address. Turn discoveries off in the app. Cached metadata can remain on your computer.

This website

This website does not include Google Analytics, an advertising tracker or embedded third-party video player. The product film is hosted with the website. We have not added optional analytics cookies. Cloudflare processes ordinary request information to serve and protect the site; hosting settings and provider policies also apply.

Reader reviews

Submissions remain closed until the moderation service and a public contact address are configured. When enabled, you choose a public nickname, rating and review. Do not include private information. Approved reviews become public. A rotating daily hash derived from connection information is used for abuse limits; the app does not store raw IP addresses in the review database. Hashes are cleared after seven days on subsequent submissions. Pending, rejected and removed entries are cleared after thirty days on subsequent submissions; approved reviews remain until removed. These are activity-triggered cleanup periods, not guaranteed deletion at an exact moment.

A contact route for review removal and data rights must be published before collection opens. You may have rights to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection and portability, subject to applicable law, and may complain to the UK Information Commissioner.

Payments and seller details

Checkout is currently disabled. This site does not collect card details, passwords or payment credentials. The seller's full business/contact details, final processing purposes, retention and payment-provider information must be published before paid sales begin.

PayPal checkout when enabled

Opening an enabled checkout loads PayPal resources. PayPal processes payment/account details under its own notices. Our payment database records the product, price, payment references, status, consent and the contract version, plus signed codes for delivery and recovery. Processing is necessary to fulfil the purchase, comply with applicable record-keeping duties and investigate payment fraud. A one-way buyer reference enforces the first friend-bundle offer. A rotating daily connection hash limits checkout attempts and is cleared after two days on subsequent attempts. No raw IP is stored in that database. Protect your receipt token and codes. Gift recipients are not emailed automatically. Live sales remain closed until final seller details and applicable retention periods are configured.

Interactive website demonstration

The sample notebook stores only the note you choose to save in this browser’s local storage. It is not sent to us. Use Reset demo to remove it. This user-requested storage does not track you.

Optional discovery images in the development app

When online discoveries are enabled, the app requests public metadata from Wikidata and may load separately checked, credited CC0 or CC BY 4.0 reference images from Wikimedia Commons. Those providers receive ordinary request information such as your IP address. Your imported library and search terms are not sent. Unknown or unsupported image licences use original category artwork instead. Turn online discoveries off to stop new discovery requests.
