## What is Bookil?

Open any PDF the way you'd read a book.

Bookil is a PDF reader for iPhone and iPad built around comfortable reading. Import from Files, Safari, or any share sheet to get started.

Reading
Pages render cleanly in single or two-page spread. Sepia and night modes, plus contrast and film grain adjustments, let you dial in exactly how it looks. Choose from page curl, slide, crossfade, or continuous scroll for page turns. Flip your device and Bookil switches layouts automatically. Covers and chapter-end pages stay centered, just like a physical book.

Zoom
Double-tap to zoom in on the exact spot you tapped. Pinch to adjust from there. Double-tap again to reset.

Library
Group PDFs into named collections. Lock private ones with Face ID or Touch ID. Bookil tracks what you've read, what you haven't, and where you left off—per book. Search, sort, filter, or select multiple books for bulk actions.

Reading direction
Switch between left-bound and right-bound for manga, technical books, or anything else.

Export
Export your full library as JSON and import it on any device.

Runs on iPhone and iPad.
