## Features
- Open local `.pdf` files from disk.
- Drag a PDF onto the empty app window to open it.
- Read with smooth PDFKit scrolling, Retina rendering, zoom, fit-to-width, fit-to-page, and page navigation.
- Search selectable text PDFs from a compact toolbar control.
- Start each opened PDF in a focused single-pane reading layout, with the document fit to the available width and sidebars hidden until requested.
- Adapt the reader layout across compact, regular, and wide Mac windows while preserving usable PDF width.
- Configure highlight and comment colors, including opacity, from Settings.
- Reopen recent PDFs from the empty window or File > Open Recent.
- Close the current PDF back to the empty window without closing the app window.
- Create standalone highlights from selected text.
- Create selected-text comments and underline comments.
- Create free-text annotations directly on the page.
- Press Return to save comments and replies, or Shift-Return for a new line.
- Click commented or underlined text in the PDF to reopen and edit the comment in place.
- Save annotations directly into the original PDF after an overwrite warning.
- Save As a new annotated copy.
- Share the annotated PDF through the native macOS share picker.
- Review annotations in a comments sidebar with page grouping, search, filters, replies, edit/delete, and click-to-navigate.
- Incredibly small app size: v0.4 ships as a 957 KB direct-download DMG, with a 253 KB Apple Silicon archive and a 287 KB Intel archive.
- Extremely fast native PDF reading: built on SwiftUI, AppKit, and PDFKit instead of a bundled browser, runtime, database, or PDF engine.
- Power- and size-efficient by design: minimal assets, no bundled services, and no background sync workload.
- Local-first privacy: opens user-selected PDFs from disk and does not require accounts, analytics, tracking, or cloud upload.
- No internet auto-updater: releases are explicit downloads, so the app is not running update checks in the background.
- No AI features: no summaries, remote prompts, embeddings, model downloads, or document analysis.
- Clean review system: focused highlighting, commenting, replies, bookmarks, search, and sidebars that stay hidden until needed.
- Standards-compatible annotations: comments and highlights are written back into PDFs so they remain useful in common PDF readers.
