Your reading life, tracked offline — a reading tracker and PDF reader with no account, no cloud, no tracking.
Overview
OffRead helps readers build a daily habit by combining a reading timer, book library, in-app PDF reader, and session notes into one clean, distraction-free app. Everything stays on the device — no account, no cloud, no tracking.
It is built entirely offline on a local SQLite architecture with Drizzle ORM, and it uses a custom WebView plus PDF.js renderer built from scratch to avoid native rendering crashes. Shipped from zero to production in a single sprint.
At a glance
Highlights
Schema migrations, local queries, and zero network dependency. The whole app works with no connection — no fallback states, no empty screens.
No native PDF library. A hand-built WebView plus PDF.js solution with DPR capping, per-page cleanup, and swipe gestures, made to dodge Android rendering crashes.
Timed sessions track pages and elapsed time, notes anchor to page ranges, and daily goals plus streak counters keep the habit going.
An AAB shipped to Google Play internal testing with an IPA pipeline ready for the App Store — from zero to production fast.
