About Resage

Resage is a Mac application for reading ebooks in PDF, EPUB, Word, Kindle and other formats. It includes an AI assistant that answers questions about the current page or passage, with responses grounded in the actual text. The assistant learns from the user’s reading habits over time, adjusting explanations to their level and prior knowledge. The application reads files locally without uploading them, using on-device OCR for scanned PDFs and vector indexing for fast searching. Users can discuss specific sentences or entire documents, with citations linking directly to the relevant passage. The reader preserves original page layouts and supports features like continuous scrolling, double-page view and appearance modes. All user data remains on the device and syncs through the user’s own iCloud account.
