About Avid: Reading Companion
You read serious books. You think while you read them. And then, a few weeks later, the thinking is gone. The argument you found convincing, the objection you had at page 200, the connection to something you read last year: all of it fades. The highlights are still there. The thinking isn't. That is what Avid is for. Avid is where your thinking compounds across books, sources, and time. It turns reading into conversation, conversation into insight, and insight into an archive that grows more useful the longer you keep it. Avid uses AI to work with the books, highlights, notes, and questions you bring, so the technology stays in service of your reading rather than replacing it. HOW IT WORKS Tell Avid what you're reading. Scan a cover, search by title, or bring in highlights you already have. Avid brings your notes, highlights, and past conversations into discussions about what you're reading. Then have a real conversation about it. Not a summary, not a quiz. A discussion that presses on assumptions, names the tension you were circling, and asks what a well-read friend would ask. Type, or talk out loud. Over time it compounds. Avid remembers what you have discussed and surfaces connections between books you read months apart: the memoir and the philosophy text arriving at the same conclusion about identity, the history and the business book sharing a model of power you never noticed. WHAT MAKES AVID DIFFERENT Cross-book synthesis. Avid can connect ideas from the books, notes, and conversations in your library. Depth instead of answers. Avid does not summarize and stop. It goes further with each exchange. Memory that carries. A thought from three weeks ago comes back when today's book needs it. A letter every Monday. A short piece of writing about your own week of reading, drawn from what you actually thought. From the Margins. Books recommended from your highlights and your arguments, not from a bestseller list. BUILT FOR SERIOUS READERS - Import highlights from Kindle, Apple Books, Readwise, and Kobo - Scan a cover to begin in seconds - Voice conversations for thinking out loud - Insight cards that keep your strongest thoughts - Wrap-ups that capture where a conversation landed - The Reading Year: what you read, and what it did to you Avid is for the reader who closes a book wanting to go further into it, not straight on to the next one. Avid is a subscription. Current pricing and terms appear on this page and in the app before anything is charged. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

What’s new
Version 1.8.1 · Updated October 13, 2026
Hi, Keep a line from any app you read in: select the words, tap Share and choose Avid. It goes straight into your Notebook. Every book page now has two buttons, Begin a sitting and Talk about it, and you can start a sitting from your Lock Screen or Control Center. Your Notebook now tells you where your letters from Avid stand, and offers to wrap up an open conversation so what you found can go into your next letter. Ask Avid how to do something and the answer comes with a button that takes you there. Avid also works with Siri, Spotlight and Shortcuts. Pascal
