Lexfolio: EPUB & PDF Reader
For readers who move between ancient and modern languages.
Lexfolio is a local-first EPUB and PDF reader built for close reading, language learning, and research.
Read across languages
Read EPUB and PDF files in a focused, responsive workspace. Open one or two texts side by side on iPad. Tap a word to consult dictionaries for English, Ancient Greek, Latin, French, German, and Spanish, complete with transliterations and lemmas for Ancient Greek forms.
Annotate and find your place
Highlight text in EPUB and PDF documents, change or remove highlight colors, add notes and bookmarks, and search within imported books. Lexfolio remembers your reading position.
PDF and OCR
Read text-based PDFs, or use on-device OCR for scanned PDFs on supported Apple devices. OCR and dictionary lookup work together without uploading your documents anywhere.
Your library, your data
Import your own EPUB and PDF files. Keep books, notes, bookmarks, reading progress, and OCR data on your device, or optionally sync through your private iCloud account. No ads. No account creation. No tracking.
Lexfolio is designed for readers who move between ancient and modern languages, from Homer and Latin classics to contemporary books and research PDFs.
