Opal Reader - PDF and EPUB reader built for the first iPhone Duo
by•
Unfold your next chapter. Read PDFs and EPUBs, keep a notebook beside the page, and continue in a compact view on iPhone Duo. Also available on iPhone and iPad.
When I first heard about iPhone Duo, I started thinking about the possibilities of a dual-screen setup for Apple Users. The idea I kept coming back to was simple: a book on one side, a place for your thoughts on the other.
This concept is what became Opal Reader.
I want Opal Reader to feel at home on an Apple device, with the care, simplicity, and attention to detail that Apple users expect. You can read PDFs and DRM-free EPUBs, keep a notebook beside the page, and move into a compact view when you have less room. It works on iPhone and iPad too.
It's free to use for local documents and has 3 beautiful themes as well as annotation tools. The Pro version removes the 3-document limit for the annotation tools for a one-time purchase of $14.99 USD. This is for a lifetime upgrade.
As a discerning Apple User, I hope you like Opal Reader and I look forward to getting your feedback for improving the app.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm excited to introduce Opal Reader, built by (@jogindertanikella) Joginder Tanikella.
What if you could read a book on one side of your screen and take notes on the other?
Opal Reader makes that possible. Read PDFs and EPUBs, take notes alongside your reading, and enjoy a clean reading experience across iPhone and iPad.
It also offers annotation tools, three beautiful themes, and a compact view for iPhone Duo.
Give Opal Reader a try and share your feedback with the maker. I'd love to hear what you think!
