About

Bamboo Lite

Features
Read full description

Bamboo (简帛) is a beautifully restrained, fully offline reader built for one thing: making long-form writing readable again. That tutorial you bookmarked. The newsletter you've been meaning to finish. The lecture notes shared in a group chat. The README that scrolls forever. Open them in the Files app and they show up as broken plain text or mangled code blocks. Bamboo turns them into ink on rice paper — measured line height, restrained type, IDE-grade code highlighting, generous white space. WHO IT'S FOR • Read-later collectors who actually want to read it later • Bloggers and newsletter writers • Students and researchers reading lecture notes & papers • Developers reading READMEs and technical blogs • Anyone who wants to finish a good article without distraction REFINED TYPOGRAPHY • Full GFM: headings, tables, task lists, footnotes, blockquotes • Prism.js highlighting for 20+ languages, one-tap copy • Built-in humanist fonts (LXGW WenKai), live font-size control OPEN FROM ANYWHERE • .md / .html from WeChat, Telegram, Mail, Files — tap "Open with..." → done • Or open files directly from the Files app • Share Extension brings Bamboo into every share sheet ONE PIECE, MANY USES • Export as a long image — share to social with watermark • Export as PDF with auto-generated outline • Three curated themes: White Silk, Dark Bamboo, Cyan Reed ON YOUR DESK • Read documents auto-land on the "Bookshelf" • Star to keep favorites within reach • "Timeline" walks back through your reading journey PURE PRIVACY • No accounts. No cache. No cloud servers. • 100% local parsing & rendering, fully offline • No analytics SDK, no ads, no tracking For the written word — Bamboo.
