HTML Viewer vs Whittle

Pagira opens your HTML sites and pages, your comics in CBZ, CBR, CB7 and CBT, your EPUB books and your PDFs, on iPhone and iPad, even offline. A complete web folder (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, subfolders) displays just like in a browser, locally, with no connection. HTML SITES AND PAGES - Full rendering: CSS, JavaScript, images and subfolders genuinely work. fetch/XHR, ES modules and even WebAssembly are supported, because the content is served through a real local web origin, not a simple file preview. - A site in a .zip is uncompressed and opened in one tap. .webarchive files open as they are. - Ideal for courses exported as HTML (medicine, law and other fields) and e-learning modules, technical documentation shipped as a website (electronics, mechanics, manuals, datasheets), generated documentation (Doxygen, Sphinx, MkDocs, Docusaurus, Storybook, Javadoc), Jupyter notebooks, R Markdown and reports saved as HTML, or web pages to keep for later. COMICS AND MANGA - CBZ, CBR, CB7 and CBT, as well as .zip, .rar, .7z or folders that hold only pictures. - Two-page spreads on iPad, manga reading direction, vertical scrolling. - Panel by Panel reading: each panel grows and the balloons read without zooming, even on iPhone. BOOKS AND PDFS - EPUB books with light, sepia and dark themes. - PDFs: continuous scrolling, go to page, contents and thumbnails. - Word, Markdown, RTF and text too. - Highlights, notes and bookmarks in your books and PDFs. SEARCH - Search a whole folder, even scanned PDFs (text recognized on the device), and by file name. - Ask: ask a question, Pagira opens the page that answers it. Nothing made up. OFFLINE AND ICLOUD - 100% offline: once the content is on your device, everything opens without a connection. Perfect on a plane or where there is no network. - Open from the Files app (local storage, iCloud Drive, network server) or via "Open in Pagira" from other apps. - iCloud on demand: files are read as you go, without downloading everything, or downloaded in one tap for a permanent offline copy. Automatic resume after an interruption. - iCloud sync: page, highlights, notes and favorites follow you between iPhone and iPad. HOME AND HISTORY - Home: Currently Reading, Favorites, Recent and Offline, with their covers. - History: every page you have viewed, including within a site, grouped by day, and reopened right where you left off. - Your last reading reopens at launch (can be turned off). Universal (iPhone and iPad, in both orientations) and available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese. PRIVACY Pagira collects nothing, tracks no one and requires no account. Your files stay on your device and in your iCloud: nothing is sent to a server. No ads, no tracking. TRIAL AND PURCHASE Try Pagira for free with all its features (up to 20 document openings, opening a folder doesn't count).

Stop keeping a separate app for every small thing you need. Whittle is one home for every app that matters the most — bring one in, or build one — and it installs, hosts, and launches it right on your phone, fully offline. Already have an HTML file or a zipped web app? Import it — Whittle hosts it locally and launches it in its own sandboxed window: its own icon, its own storage, its own home-screen shortcut. Don't have one yet? Describe what you want, and Whittle writes a carefully engineered prompt for the AI app you already use. Paste the result back and it imports the same way. HOW IT WORKS 1. Bring one in, or describe one. Import an HTML file or a .zip bundle, or pick a starter idea and let Whittle draft the prompt. 2. Hand it to your AI, if you're creating one. Whittle shares the prompt to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot or Poe — or copy it anywhere you like. 3. Bring it back. Paste the HTML, or use the one-tap deep link to import straight from your clipboard. 4. It runs. Whittle hosts it locally and launches it full screen, completely offline. 5. Fix it. "Debug with AI" hands the app's own source back to a model for repair, then updates your installed copy. WHAT YOU GET • Offline by default — installed apps run from on-device storage with no server and no connection. • A real library — every app you bring in or create, with size and last-opened details, plus a demo app to start from. • Isolated storage — each app gets its own private data, so they never clobber one another. • Shortcuts — launch any app with a single tap, including from Siri. • Reminders — apps can schedule notifications that deep-link straight back into them. • Preview — check an app before committing to install. Whittle does not run the AI itself. It works with the AI apps you already have installed, so nothing you write is sent anywhere by Whittle.
