Your courses, manuals and reports
finally readable on iPhone and iPad

Courses, service manuals, documentation, reports: when a document arrives as a folder of linked pages, iOS has no way to open it. Pagira shows the whole thing, with its layout, its images and its links working, offline. Your PDFs too.

Who Pagira is for

Some documents are not a single file: they are an HTML folder, with pages that link to each other, images and a layout. On a computer a double click is enough. On iPhone and iPad, nothing opens properly. Pagira is built for those documents.

Students and teachers

Courses exported from Moodle or Blackboard, lecture notes, past papers, e-learning modules. One folder per subject, opening exactly as it was designed, on the train or in a lecture hall with no signal.

Workplace training

SCORM modules, onboarding paths, safety and quality training. An e-learning module is an HTML folder with an entry page: Pagira opens it as is, with no platform and no account.

Healthcare and medical staff

Ward protocols, best-practice guidelines, recommendations, continuing education material. Documents you read at the bedside or in the on-call room, where the hospital network stops.

Mechanics and maintenance

Automotive service manuals, manufacturer procedures, wiring diagrams, parts catalogues. Workshop documentation almost always arrives as a folder with its own tree: Pagira keeps it navigable, on the iPad sitting on the bench.

Aviation, marine and transport

Flight manuals, checklists, manufacturer documentation, ship's papers. The iPad is already the reference tool on board, the documentation still has to open in full and with no signal.

Technical and industrial documentation

Operating instructions, maintenance manuals, product sheets, supplier catalogues. Hundreds of pages linked together, readable on site or at a customer's, with no connection.

Law, standards and compliance

Statutes and articles of law, collective agreements, ISO and national standards, case law. Corpora distributed to be read offline, with their cross-references actually working.

Finance and management

Annual reports, audit reports, board packs, minutes exported from an intranet. Received by email or dropped in iCloud, opened in two taps before the meeting.

The common thread: a folder, pages that answer each other, and the wish to read it on a comfortable screen without depending on the network. Whether it is a ten-thousand-page corpus or an appliance manual downloaded the day before.

Testimonials

Excellent

Superb app. I had been looking for a long time for a way to read the HTML course material my university provides, and to read it offline too. The pages display properly, with their layout and images intact. Thank you 👍

The story behind Pagira

“I bought a bundle of HTML and PDF magazines, no iPad app displayed them properly, so I solved it myself.”

I bought a batch of old magazines, delivered as HTML and PDF. One folder per issue, with its stylesheets, its images, its scripts and its subfolders. On a Mac, a double click was enough.

On an iPad, nothing worked. The reader apps showed raw HTML, with no layout and no images, when they did not simply lose the links between pages. The only reliable method was to run a local web server, which makes no sense when you want to read in an armchair.

That is what I wrote Pagira for: opening a complete site folder on iPhone and iPad, the way it was designed, offline, with no server and without sending anything anywhere.
