Stop pinch‑and‑zooming on your commute. PDFreflow intelligently reflows dense LaTeX papers, technical documentation, and textbooks into a strain‑free mobile reading experience—without breaking your formulas or images.
Works with text‑based PDFs — OCR for scanned books is on the roadmap.
Turns dense multi‑column PDFs and LaTeX papers into a single readable column — formulas, figures and captions preserved.
Your documents never leave your phone. No accounts, no cloud, no ads — reading stays between you and your library.
Borderless continuous scroll, a real dark mode, custom typography — smooth even on 1,000‑page manuals. Reads EPUB, TXT and HTML too.
I'm an indie developer. I read a lot of papers and technical PDFs on my phone — on the train, in waiting rooms, in bed. Every single time, the experience was the same: pinch, zoom, drag, scroll a sliver, repeat. A two-column LaTeX paper on a 6-inch screen is genuinely unreadable.
I went looking for an app that solved this. What I found was a category of bloated PDF readers that hadn't meaningfully improved in a decade. Most don't have a real dark mode. The good ones charge a subscription for features I didn't want — cloud storage, e-signatures, AI summaries. I just wanted to read.
Even Adobe — the company that invented the PDF — ships a reflow that breaks on most real-world layouts. That's when I realized this problem is harder than it looks. Which is probably why nobody's solved it well.
I'm building PDFreflow as a solo developer, in Flutter. It does one thing: takes complex, multi-column PDFs and reflows them into a single column you can actually read. Formulas preserved. Figures preserved. No ads. No data harvesting. Your PDFs stay on your phone.
If you've ever wanted to throw your phone across the room while reading a paper — this is for you.
