🚧 Under Heavy Development 🚧
This project is still under active development and may contain bugs or incomplete features. While it is functional and can be used, please be aware that certain aspects might change rapidly, and stability is not guaranteed. Use at your own discretion, and check back for updates as the app evolves.
Scrolex is a high-performance PDF viewer specifically optimized for HiDPI displays and designed for distraction-free, efficient reading. With its horizontal scrolling layout, Scrolex lets you see more pages at once, making it ideal for large monitors and wide screens.
-
Horizontal Scrolling Layout
Main Feature: Unlike traditional viewers, Scrolex uses a horizontal scroll layout along the X-axis. This layout lets users easily view multiple pages side by side, especially on widescreen or HiDPI monitors. It offers a refreshing and seamless reading experience for long documents.
-
Margin Cropping
Scrolex includes a feature to crop document margins, allowing even more content to fit on-screen without unnecessary whitespace.
-
Scroll Wheel for Page Navigation
Intuitive Navigation: Along with keyboard navigation Scrolex supports a simple scroll wheel action for moving between pages. Each scroll of the wheel moves the document one page to the left or right, offering quick and effortless navigation. This design choice minimizes interruptions and distractions, making it easy to stay focused on reading without needing to search for the needed keyboard key.

Wayland Support
Scrolex offers full Wayland support, ensuring compatibility with modern Linux systems. Whether you're using X11 or Wayland, Scrolex will run smoothly.
