FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to pay for the AI features?

The AI conversations use a third-party AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). You bring your own API key from one of those providers and add it in Settings → AI Settings. Reading, highlighting, and note-taking work fully without any AI key.

Where is my data stored?

On your device. TruNaut is local-first: your books, highlights, and notes stay local. The paid tiers ask you to sign in, which tells us an email address and nothing about what you read. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Which file formats can I import?

EPUB and PDF files, plus web pages (added via + → Add Web Page), which are saved as readable articles.

How do I add a highlight?

Select text while reading and choose Highlight from the selection menu. You can then attach a note or start an AI conversation from that highlight.

My API key isn't working.

Double-check that the key is for the provider selected in Settings → AI Settings, that it's active in your provider account, and that the device has an internet connection.

Can I back up or export my highlights and notes?

Yes. In Settings, enable Highlights & Notes export (and/or Insights export) and choose a folder — for example an iCloud Drive or Obsidian folder — to get Markdown copies you control.
