Read PDFs and ebooks horizontally

Scrolex puts pages side by side, so you scroll left and right through a document instead of up and down. On a wide screen this shows several pages at once without wasted space.

It opens PDF, EPUB, MOBI, FictionBook, XPS and comic book (CBZ) files.

Other features:

  • Margin cropping, to fit more content on screen
  • Hue-preserving dark mode that stays enabled across sessions
  • Zoom with Ctrl+scroll or touchpad pinch gestures
  • Full text search
  • Table of contents to jump between sections
  • One page per scroll wheel step, or keyboard navigation
  • Sharp rendering on HiDPI displays
  • Runs on both Wayland and X11
