Reader's Bench — Read, Annotate & Take Notes
Reader's Bench is a powerful PDF and ePub reader built for students, researchers, and professionals who need to study documents deeply. Import PDFs and ePub files, annotate them with a rich set of tools, take handwritten notes side by side, and organize everything in one place.
KEY FEATURES
• PDF & ePub Reader
Import PDFs from the Files app, share sheet, or Safari. Supports vertical and horizontal scrolling, single-page and continuous page views, and a comfortable dark mode for reading in any lighting.
• Rich PDF Annotations
Highlight, underline, and strikethrough text. Add text boxes, image boxes, freehand drawings, and capture areas with Apple Pencil or your finger. Every annotation can be edited, moved, or deleted at any time.
• Annotation Review
View all your annotations in a summary list, filter by type, and export the review as a separate PDF report. Revisit key points without re-reading the entire document.
• Handwritten Notes
Take notes on a digital canvas with Apple Pencil. Switch between Canvas (infinite scroll) and Page (discrete pages) modes. Choose from dotted, squared, lined, or blank backgrounds and customize colors. Shape detection automatically perfects hand-drawn shapes.
• Split View
Work with your PDF and notes side by side. Switch between horizontal and vertical layouts and resize panels with a draggable divider.
• Bookmarks & Search
Bookmark pages for quick access and browse them in one place. Search inside documents and jump to results by page instantly.
• Export & Share
Export annotated PDFs, handwritten notes as PDFs, or annotation reviews as reports. Share via the iOS share sheet or print directly from the app.
• iCloud Sync
Documents and annotations sync across your devices via iCloud, so your work is always with you.
• ePub Support
Import ePub books and convert them to PDF for reading and annotation.
• Share Extension
Import PDFs directly from any app using the system share sheet.
Reader's Bench turns your iPad and iPhone into a complete study and research workstation.
