Hate reading PDFs at night? So did we. Eclipse is the dark mode PDF reader your eyes have been waiting for. One tap transforms any PDF into a beautiful, eye-friendly dark document โ€” no more blinding white backgrounds in bed, on the couch, or during late-night study sessions. TRUE DARK MODE โ€” NOT A FILTER Most apps just dim your screen. Eclipse is different. Our smart color inversion engine flips the actual content โ€” white becomes black, black becomes white โ€” giving you a true OLED-friendly dark reading experience that saves battery and protects your eyes. Choose from three reading themes: โ—† Pure Dark โ€” Full inversion, maximum contrast, perfect for OLED โ—† Warm Dark โ€” Soft tones for relaxed reading (Pro) โ—† Sepia โ€” Paper-like warmth for long sessions (Pro) ANNOTATE & MARK UP YOUR DOCUMENTS Eclipse isn't just a viewer โ€” it's your complete PDF workspace: โ—† Highlight text with a translucent highlighter โ—† Draw freehand with pen, marker, or highlighter tools โ—† Pick from multiple colors and adjust line thickness โ—† Undo strokes and erase individual annotations โ—† All changes are saved directly to the PDF file SMART READING FEATURES โ—† Bookmark any page with a custom title โ—† Full-text search across your entire document โ—† Go-to-page navigation for quick access โ—† Reading progress bar with page tracking โ—† Continue Reading โ€” pick up exactly where you left off โ—† Screen brightness control built right in โ—† Share PDFs directly from the reader YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED โ—† Import PDFs from Files, iCloud, email, or any app โ—† Thumbnail previews for every document โ—† Search your library by file name โ—† Delete documents with a long-press โ—† Clean, elegant interface โ€” no clutter, no distractions 100% PRIVATE. ALWAYS. Your PDFs never leave your device. No cloud uploads. No servers. No analytics. No tracking. Everything happens on-device. We can't see your documents even if we wanted to.

Upgrade to Eclipse Pro to unlock Warm Dark & Sepia themes, bookmarks, and annotation tools. โ—† Monthly: $1.99/month โ—† Lifetime: $4.99 โ€” one-time, forever No ads. No data collection.
