What's New in HTML Reader Offline
1.1
September 11, 2026
NEW • In-page search. Find any word in the current document, see how many matches there are, and jump to each one. • Highlights and notes. Mark text in five colours, attach a note, and export your highlights as Markdown. • Library-wide search. Look across every document at once and land directly on the matching paragraph. • Reading statistics. Total reading time, today's time, your daily streak and a 7-day chart. • Backup and restore. Export your whole library — documents, progress, bookmarks, highlights and settings — to one ZIP file, and restore it any time. • Share a document. Send a single .html file or a complete ZIP bundle to anyone. IMPROVED • Each document now loads in its own isolated storage area, so two tutorials can no longer overwrite each other's saved state. • ZIP import is predictable: the entry page is chosen deterministically and macOS resource-fork folders are skipped. • Much steadier. Hardened JavaScript bridging, faster title extraction on import, and cache clearing that uses WebKit's own API instead of deleting folders. • Added a diagnostics export (Settings → Diagnostics and Logs) so you can send me logs and crash reports directly. • Reading position, table of contents and bookmarks are more reliable across rotation and font-size changes. REMOVED • Long-image and PDF export are gone. Flattening a whole web page into one image or a paginated PDF was unreliable: pages with fixed headers, lazy-loaded images or nested scrolling came out truncated or duplicated. If you depended on it, please tell me — sharing the original HTML is the reliable path in the meantime. If the app has been useful to you, a rating or a short review genuinely helps a tiny indie app get found. Thank you for reading.
