KEY FEATURES • Open HTML, HTM, and ZIP packages directly from the Files app, Mail, Safari, or any sharing-capable app via "Open with…". • Smart ZIP support: automatically detects index.html as the entry point; falls back to a file picker if none is found. • Built-in WKWebView reader with full support for local CSS, JavaScript, and image resources referenced by your documents. • Auto-generated table of contents from h1/h2/h3 headings — tap to jump anywhere instantly. • Bookmarks: add, remove, and revisit any reading position. • Reading progress: every document remembers exactly where you left off, down to one screen of accuracy. • Light, Dark, and Auto theme — matches the system or your preference. • Long-image export: capture an entire page into a single shareable image, perfect for archiving notes or sending tutorials to friends. • Universal app: optimized layouts for iPhone and iPad. • Multi-language UI: English by default, with full Simplified Chinese localization. PRIVACY FIRST • 100% offline reading. Your files never leave the device. • No accounts. No login. No ads. No analytics.
