Your library — in tabs

Every document you own, one tap away.

Glide treats your files like a library you actually live in — not a pile of one-offs. Open several at once, pin the ones you reach for, and see how far you are before you even open them.

  • Multi-document tabs — switch instantly, like a browser for your books
  • Pin the important ones to the top of your library
  • Search, and sort by name, date added, recently opened or modified
  • Reading progress on every file: p.45 / 500 · 9% · 3.2 MB

Never lose your place

Pick up exactly where you stopped.

Every file remembers its own page, layout and position — independently. Close the app, reopen a week later, and you're right back on the line you were reading.

  • Auto-resume to your exact last page
  • Per-file memory — page, layout and position saved separately
  • Bookmark any page and jump straight back whenever you like

Read it your way

Comfortable reading — day or night.

Glide's clean dark interface keeps distractions away, and night mode inverts page colours for comfortable low-light reading. Tap once to go full-screen and let the page take over.

Page layouts

Single, double or cover — you choose.

Pick the layout that suits the document and the device in your hands. Glide remembers your choice for every file and restores it automatically next time you open it.

  • Single — one page at a time
  • Double — two pages side by side
  • Cover — book-style with a standalone cover page
  • Layout remembered per file, restored automatically

Powerful, out of the way

Every control, one tap from the page.

A clean toolbar keeps bookmarks, contents, page jumps and layout within reach — then gets out of your way so nothing sits between you and what you're reading.

  • Smooth pinch-zoom to 8×, double-tap zoom and free pan — without losing your place
  • Contents, bookmarks, go-to-page and layout in one menu
  • Clean dark interface designed to disappear while you read

FAQ

Good to know.

What files does Glide open?

PDF and plain-text .txt files. PDFs get the full reader — tabs, layouts, search, bookmarks, night mode — and text files open in a dedicated reading view with adjustable size.

Which devices are supported?

Android phones, tablets, and foldable / dual-screen devices. The layout adapts to whatever screen is in your hands.

Is it a subscription?

No. Glide is a single one-time purchase. No accounts, no ads, no recurring charges.

Where are my documents stored?

On your device. Glide reads your local files and remembers your reading position — nothing is uploaded.

Open a dozen documents. Land on the right page. Every time.
