About this app

Readwide is a local storage-focused file reader and viewer on Android for TXT, Markdown, PDF, EPUB, Word documents, images, comics archives, and standard archiving workflows.

Main Features

A program for reading text files with accurate display of pages and bookmarks for large files, as well as a general page search function. To read Markdown, a visual model of a WebView page with a thematic design is used; the text file (TXT) remains in the same model as the original page. Search options for text on a page in TXT, Markdown, EPUB, HWP/HWPX and Word formats: case sensitive, whole word search, regular expression search, go to nth match and determine current/total number of matches (where supported). PDF reader with single page and continuous vertical scan modes, bookmark recovery, sliders/page management, and inertial panning when zooming. A program for reading EPUB files via WebView, including handling reformat/fixed layout boundaries and integration with reading themes. Word family document filter: OOXML word: .docx, .docm, .dotx, .dotm HWP/HWPX: .hwp,.hwpx The Legacy .doc feature is recognized by the Word filter, but is not yet displayed. Reading text in HWP/HWPX using Apache-2.0 dogfoot libraries ( hwplib, hwpxlib). This is a non-Hancom compatible way of rendering the layout. Image viewer with archived image sequences, position saving, additional page touch zones, adaptive image fitting and left-to-right/right-to-left display mode. Archive browsing and extraction/creation workflows for supported ZIP, 7z, TAR-families, RAR/CBR, ALZ and EGG formats, with conservative support boundaries. File browser features: recent files/folders, search/filter, bookmarks, folder shortcuts, multiple selection, copy/move/delete, archive extract/compress queues and progress bar. Support for reader themes, custom colors, toolbar/icon display order, and display rules.

What's new

v1.0.8Jun 27, 2026

Fixed an issue where a large text document or PDF could suddenly become blank while being read. Due to low system memory, the reader freed on-screen text even when the application was in the foreground; since this content is only restored when returning to the app (which doesn't happen when you're already reading), the page would randomly become blank and the reading position would be lost. The reader now frees memory only when the application is in the background.
