**minPDF — The Lightest, Fastest PDF Reader You'll Ever Need.**
minPDF is a pure PDF reader designed for people who just want to read documents without distractions, bloat, or unnecessary features. No annotations, no markups, no cloud sync — just instant, beautiful PDF viewing.
**Pure Reading, Nothing Else**
minPDF strips away everything that gets between you and your document. There are no toolbars cluttered with editing tools, no sign-up prompts, no ads, no telemetry. Just your PDF, rendered beautifully and loading instantly.
**Lightning-Fast Performance**
Built with Flutter and powered by the high-performance pdfrx rendering engine, minPDF opens even large documents almost instantly. Page navigation is buttery smooth, and the app consumes minimal system resources — leaving more RAM and battery for what matters.
**Thoughtful Reading Features**
While minPDF keeps things simple, it includes everything a serious reader needs:
- **Dark & Light Mode** — Switch between themes for comfortable reading day or night.

- **Auto-hide UI** — Tap the document area to hide all controls and read without any distractions.
- **Reading History** — Automatically remembers every document you open, including the last page you were on. Jump right back where you left off.
- **Sidebar Outline** — Navigate through documents using the built-in table of contents outline (when available in the PDF).
