Opens PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, photos, video, audio, Markdown and code, all rendered on the device. About 5 MB, one build for every processor, Android 8.0 and up.
Search works in every document type. PDF text selects, copies and reads aloud to a screen reader, and there is a night mode that turns the paper black and leaves most photographs alone.
Its permissions page is empty and the manifest has no INTERNET so it can’t open a network connection. Files reach it through the system picker, an Open-with intent, or a folder you grant once. The About screen asks Android what the app requests and shows you the result.
Not an editor. Legacy .ppt does not open. Complex PowerPoint renders approximately.

It’s a good one. It installs apps straight from their GitHub releases and keeps them updated. Gander’s README has a one-tap link to add it.
this whole time i’ve been doing the hard way – manually sideloading. :p
well no more of that now, glad i got to share 😄
it’s sort of too bad that the side loading i’ve done so far wasn’t difficult; because if it had been difficult, i would have gone out looking for something like obtainium. lol
