Changelog

1. v2.6.0

   latest22 Oct 2026

   • Back to Page
   • Tools from the Reader
   • Hide Hidden Files
   • and 9 more

   Full notes for v2.6.0

   What's New

   Added

   • Back to Page - After Go to page, the contents, a bookmark or a link inside the document, a chip below the top bar takes you back to the page you left (#88)
   • Tools from the Reader - PDF Tools in the reader's More Options opens split, compress, rotate and the other tools on the open document; with Overwrite Original, the tool safely replaces the document itself (#105)
   • Hide Hidden Files - A setting to leave out files and folders whose names start with a dot (#6)
   • Keep Image Colors - In the Dark and Black reading themes, pictures can keep their own colors instead of being inverted; switch it on in Display Settings (#87)

   Changed

   • Short Documents - A document shorter than the screen sits in the middle instead of at the top (#105)

   Fixed

   • First Page Under the Top Bar - On lower-density screens the first page no longer starts under the top bar, and the last one scrolls clear of the controls (#105)
   • Jumps Under the Top Bar - Go to page, the contents, bookmarks and links inside a document no longer land under the top bar (#105)
   • Overwrite Original - Tools that overwrite the original no longer hold up the screen on large files, and a failed write leaves the original as it was
   • Signed Files in Other Apps - A PDF with signatures saved into it no longer disappears from other apps' file pickers
   • Counts for One - Page, file and highlight counts read correctly for a single item ("1 page" instead of "1 pages"), in every language
   • Back in Landscape - Back closes the side panels in landscape instead of leaving the screen behind them, which in the reader closed the document
   • Merge Retry - Retry appears after a failed merge in every language, and no longer after a notice about a skipped file

3. v2.4.0

   15 Aug 2026

   • Highlight anything
   • Highlights panel
   • Jump and step
   • and 4 more

   Full notes for v2.4.0

   What's New

   Highlights

   Highlight text in your PDFs, and find it again later.

   • Highlight anything - Select text and pick a colour from the bar that appears just below it. Five colours, one tap, and the usual Copy and Translate menu is still there.
   • Highlights panel - Every highlight in one list with its text, page and colour. Search it, or filter by colour to keep categories apart.
   • Jump and step - Tap an entry to go straight to it, then use next/previous to move through the rest in reading order.
   • Search knows about them - While searching a PDF, the search bar shows how many of the matches you have already highlighted, and tapping that opens the panel filtered to the same words.
   • Save a copy with highlights - Writes them into a new PDF as real annotations, so they show up in other PDF readers too. Your original file is never changed.
   • Highlights already in a file - Highlights a PDF came with, whether from this app or another one, are now listed and searchable as well. They are read only, since changing them would mean rewriting your document.

   Reader

   • Lock horizontal scroll - Holds the page where you put it when zoomed in, so it stops drifting sideways as you read down. Remembered per document, and found under View Options.

   • docs: add v2.3.0 to README changelog by @ahmmedrejowan in #61
   • Add Product Hunt badge to README by @ahmmedrejowan in #63

4. v2.3.0

   19 Jul 2026

   • Page Slider on Scroll
   • In-PDF Search
   • Dependencies
   • and 1 more

   Full notes for v2.3.0

   What's New

   ✨ Added

   • Page Slider on Scroll — a new setting in the View Mode sheet controls whether the page slider appears while scrolling when the toolbar is hidden. Off by default, so the reading view stays clean (#54).

   🔧 Improved

   • In-PDF Search — search now steps through every match across all pages reliably, and the active match is centered in the view (#40).
   • Dependencies — updated to Kotlin 2.4.10, AGP 9.2.1, Android SDK 37, Compose BOM, and other core libraries.

   🐛 Fixed

   • PDF open failure — PDFs whose file path contained an apostrophe no longer get stuck on the loading screen (#57).

   What's Changed

   • Reader fixes, page-slider toggle, and dependency updates by @ahmmedrejowan in #59
   • chore: prepare 2.3.0 release by @ahmmedrejowan in #60

   • and 5 more

   Full notes for v2.2.0

   What's New

   Added

   • AMOLED Black Theme - True-black variant under Appearance → Theme for OLED displays
   • Customizable Double-Tap Zoom - Slider in Settings and the reader's zoom sheet sets the zoom level applied on double-tap (1.1×–5×) (closes #42)
   • Focal-Point Double-Tap - Double-tap now zooms around the tapped location instead of anchoring to the top-left; zoom-out preserves the focal point as well (closes #42)
   • Hide Tools Tab - Setting to remove the Tools tab from the bottom navigation for a reader-only experience

   Changed

   • Reader Sheet Typography - Section headers and chip labels enlarged for legibility; More Options rows given more breathing room (closes #44)

   • Home Bottom Navigation - Selected/unselected text colors now follow the app theme instead of the system theme (fixes invisible text in Black theme)

   Fixed

   • Remember Password - Saved password is now auto-submitted on next open of a locked PDF; stale entries are cleaned up on silent-attempt failure (closes #43)

   • fix: remove gradle-daemon-jvm.properties by @ahmmedrejowan in #29
   • fix: update F-Droid metadata by @ahmmedrejowan in #30
   • chore: bump dependencies and fix repo language detection by @ahmmedrejowan in #39
