- Documents now render fully offline — no internet connection required.

Thanks for all the feedback — please keep it coming!

- Open HTML files from your reading folder, the file picker, or  straight from the Files app
- Links inside a page open in your browser, so the file you are viewing stays put
- Cleaner file names for exported PDFs

Plus small fixes and polish throughout.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-06-10

New: Read Aloud — listen to any document with natural voices, hands-free. Choose Read Aloud from the menu, pick the speed and voice, and the page scrolls along as it reads. Plus a cleaner toolbar.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-06-09

Pick up right where you left off. When you reopen a file you've been reading, tap "Jump to where you left off" to return to your last spot.
