Privacy policy

Your books stay yours.

Last updated October 31, 2026

Your books, reading positions, highlights, notes and narration never leave your iPhone or iPad. Morrow has no accounts. The app sends anonymous usage counts that you can turn off, and if you signed up for the beta we keep the email you gave us until you ask us not to.

In the app

Your reading stays on your device. The books you add, where you are in them, and your highlights, notes and bookmarks are stored only on the iPhone or iPad you use Morrow on.

Narration stays on your device. Morrow’s narrators live on your iPhone or iPad. No text or audio is sent to a server, and Morrow works without a connection.

Narrators you add stay on your device. You can add a narrator from morrowreader.com/narrators or from a file someone sends you. It is a small file kept with your other Morrow data (including in your device backups) until you delete it, and nothing about it is sent anywhere. Morrow 1.1 doesn’t use the microphone: narrators are made on the narrators site, in your browser. If a later version lets you record a voice in the app, it will ask first and use the microphone only while you record.

No account, no advertising, no tracking. Morrow does not identify you, show ads, or follow you across other apps and websites.

Books can’t reach the internet. Morrow blocks books from loading anything online, so a book can’t report that you opened it.

Anonymous usage counts

Morrow sends anonymous counts, unless you turn them off, so we can tell whether the app works and how it’s used: for example, that a book was added or failed to open (with an error code) and roughly how long it is; how long a reading or listening session lasted and how many pages it covered (rounded), and how much listening happened with Morrow open or in the background; when you switch between reading and listening; which narration (Expressive or Standard), narrator (Morrow’s own by name; one you added only as "added", never its name), speed and page style you chose, and how long Expressive took to download and set up; how the shelf is sorted, and when a book is marked finished; which Reading Life range you looked at, and whether you shared its card (never what was on it); the steps of your first minutes with Morrow, such as adding a first book or choosing one of the starter books, and how long after first opening, and what you chose on the welcome screen (start reading, download now, keep Standard, or hear the sample); which features you use, such as highlights, notes, bookmarks, search, sharing or the sleep timer (how often, never what); whether you added a book or closed the file picker without one; whether sound went to the speaker, headphones, a car or another device; whether narration started (and how long it took, and whether your device was warm or in Low Power Mode) or stopped with an error; how many times Morrow crashed or stopped responding, as iOS counts it (rounded, never the report itself); whether a narrator’s file you opened was added, updated or couldn’t be read, and when you opened morrowreader.com/narrators from the app (from where, never what you did there); when each thing happened (the time, and the hour and day of the week); and the app version, iOS version, device model and whether it came from TestFlight or the App Store.

These counts never include the titles, authors, file names or text of your books, what you highlight, your notes, what you search for, or anything that identifies you. They carry a random number made when Morrow is installed, so we can count how many people come back; it changes if you reinstall. Turn usage counts off anytime in Settings → Share Usage Data.

Feedback from the app

When you use Settings → Send Feedback, we receive what you write, your email address if you add one so we can reply, and (unless you turn it off) the app version, iOS version and device model. Feedback is stored with Cloudflare, which hosts this website, and emailed to our mailbox at Google so we can read and answer it; it is not connected to the anonymous usage counts. To stop spam, your connection’s address is turned into a one-way code that can’t be turned back into the address, and the code is deleted within a day. Ask us and we delete it.

If you signed up for the beta

Before Morrow reached the App Store, people signed up on this website to test it. If you did, we keep your first name, your email address, what you told us you read, and when you agreed to hear from us, and we gave Apple your name and email to send you the TestFlight invitation. We use them to:

• email you about Morrow, such as a new version: a handful of messages, each with a way to unsubscribe;
• reply when you write to us.

The sign-up form has closed. The list is stored with Cloudflare, which hosts this website, and a copy of each sign-up was emailed to our mailbox at Google. Mail you send to a morrowreader.com address is forwarded by Cloudflare to that mailbox, and we write to you from there. We never sell or share any of it with anyone else. Ask us and we delete it.

TestFlight and crash reports

If you test Morrow through Apple’s TestFlight, Apple shares with us your name, email, the device and iOS version you test on, crash reports, and any screenshots and comments you choose to send. Outside TestFlight, if you choose to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone’s or iPad’s settings, Apple may pass us crash reports. They never contain your books' text. Apple’s handling is covered by Apple’s privacy policy.

This website

This site sets no cookies and has no ad trackers or outside fonts. Cloudflare, our host, processes requests to deliver the site and protect it from abuse, and counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It sets no cookies and doesn’t follow you to other sites; we see only totals: pages viewed, the site that linked here, browser and device type, country, and how quickly pages load. When the app sends usage counts or feedback here, your connection’s address is turned into a one-way code that can’t be turned back into the address, to stop abuse, and the code is deleted within a day.

The narrators site

morrowreader.com/narrators makes narrators in your browser. A recording or a description you give it stays in your browser: nothing you say or type is uploaded. To tell whether the site works, it sends anonymous technical counts as it goes (each step and how long it took; your browser and system: processor cores, memory, screen size and storage space; the graphics chip; the country; and any error), never the recording, the words or the narrator. Narrators you make are kept in your browser until you remove them.

If you share a narrator, its file (its name, description, face, short sample and what Morrow needs to read in that voice, never a recording) is stored with Cloudflare under a link only people you give it to can find; nothing lists it. Your browser keeps a key that alone can update or stop sharing it, and anyone can report a shared narrator for us to take down. Share only a narrator made from your own voice, or from a voice whose owner said yes.

Backups

If you back up your iPhone or iPad to iCloud or a computer, your Morrow library and any narrators you added are included, as your other app data is. Narration audio is left out; Morrow doesn’t need it backed up.

Deleting

Morrow keeps your reading history (how long you read or listened to each book) on your device for your own statistics. Deleting a book removes it and its history; deleting Morrow removes everything it stored. To be taken off the beta list, use the unsubscribe link in any email or write to us.

Children

Morrow isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If this policy changes, we’ll update the date above and describe anything significant here before it takes effect.
