About this app

No ads. No analytics. No account. No network access at all: the app does not even hold the internet permission. Every reading and editing feature is free; the optional Supporter purchase only unlocks accent colours and icons.

• Fill in forms and save a copy
• Draw and highlight on pages, saved as real PDF annotations (Android 12 or newer)

What’s new

Faster first launch. More of the screen is used: every screen sat lower than it needed to, under the status bar.
