    What's New in PageWave 2.0 Reading List Plan what you'll read next. Add books and audiobooks to your personal Reading List and keep an eye on what's waiting for you. PageWave on Apple Watch Your audiobooks, now on your wrist. The first three audiobooks in your Reading List sync automatically to your Apple Watch. Bookmarks & Notes Capture your favorite moments. Create bookmarks with personal notes in any audiobook or eBook — and pick from a range of colors to keep things organized. Daily Goal & Celebrations Set a daily reading goal and let PageWave nudge you at the time you choose. Reach your goal or finish a book, and you'll get a brief banner with confetti — optionally as a push notification when the app is in the background. Reading Statistics How much have you actually read? Track your progress with detailed statistics — pages read, listening time, and more. PageWave Rewind Your year in reading, beautifully staged. Animated cover wall, a donut chart of your genres, a reading clock for the time of day you read most, your longest reading day, book of the month — and a confetti finale at the end. Bring your own cover on import When importing, pick a JPEG or PNG alongside the book file — PageWave automatically uses it as the cover, overriding whatever was embedded in the file. Metadata via JSON Optionally drop a `.json` file into the book folder to set title, author, genre, or the series and volume number in one go. A template you can save is in the app under Help & FAQ. Bonjour & Ciao PageWave now speaks French and Italian, too. The app picks the right language from your system settings — or you can choose it yourself in Settings. PageWave WebDAV Support Your library on your own server. Store your books and audiobooks on a WebDAV-capable NAS, your Nextcloud, or a Synology. Covers and metadata land directly in your library, audiobooks stream live from the server — or download them for offline listening if you prefer. Settings synced across all your devices Change a setting on one device and it's there on the others right away. Including your server credentials in WebDAV mode. Smaller bug fixes and improvements to keep PageWave running smoothly.
