Zys Reader 0.3.9 · Zotero

Read PDFs one page—or two—at a time.

Zys Reader adds page-at-a-time and two-page spread reading to Zotero’s PDF reader, with fit-to-window sizing and a focus mode for an uncluttered reading space.

Requires Zotero 9 on macOS

A calmer way
through a document.

Move through a PDF as discrete pages or facing-page spreads. Zys Reader keeps the page fitted to the window and lets the interface fall away when it is time to focus.
