Works in VS Code and its forks (Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, Antigravity).

What is in this release

Reading

  • The editor-area reader is a styled surface that follows every reader setting — font, size, weight, line height, letter spacing, alignment, margins, indent, two-page columns and custom colours — instead of a plain text document.
  • Scroll position is remembered per chapter, so leaving for Source Control and coming back lands where you were. Reading progress is remembered per book.

Library

  • The book list always follows the open workspace, so adding a library folder no longer moves the library off your project.
  • The eye button switches the book list for a file-system view of your library folders. Books open in the reader; every other file opens as a normal editor tab.
  • Chapter hover icons name their destination (sidebar panel vs editor area) rather than reading as prev/next arrows.

Interface

  • The "Now Reading" panel is now "Reader".
  • Only the eye button stays pinned in the view title; Refresh, Add Folder, Settings and About moved into the overflow menu.
  • New About page with links to the web reader, the source and the issue tracker.
  • New icon.
