Minimal eReader

Minimal eReader is built on the principle that a document viewer should be fast, efficient, and resource-friendly.

Built with native C++ using the powerful Qt framework and the highly optimized MuPDF rendering engine (the same backend used by SumatraPDF), this application starts instantly and handles large documents with ease. It features a clean, modern, dark-themed interface that gets out of your way, allowing you to focus on what matters: the content.

Whether you're a student, a researcher, or just someone who values performance, Minimal eReader is designed to be your go-to document viewer.

• Broad Format Support: Natively opens PDF, EPUB, XPS, CBZ, FB2, SVG, and many other document and image formats thanks to the underlying MuPDF engine.
• Lightweight & Fast: Starts in a fraction of a second and uses minimal system resources, even with large files open.
• Tabbed Interface: Open and switch between multiple documents seamlessly in a single window.
• Modern UI: A custom-drawn, frameless dark theme that's easy on the eyes.
• Powerful Search: A comprehensive, document-wide search that displays all results in a moveable side panel with context snippets.
• Precise Highlighting: Clicking a search result jumps to the correct page and highlights the exact location of the found text.
• Save Notes: Select text to save passages or add comments to a _NOTES.txt file automatically generated alongside your document (like you would use with an ereader such as Kindle).
• Essential Viewing Tools: Smooth zooming, page navigation, fit-to-window, and a "Go to Page" function.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Navigate and control the application efficiently (Ctrl+F for Search, F11 for Fullscreen, Arrow keys for pages, etc.).
• Secure: Minimal dependencies, never calls home, fully open-source.
