Sioyek

PDF viewer with focus on technical books and research papers

Sioyek is a PDF viewer with a focus on technical books and research papers.

Searchable Quickly search your previously opened documents, table of contents, bookmarks, and highlights. Sioyek can even generate the table of contents if the document doesn’t have one!

Smart Jump You can preview or jump to references e.g. bibliography, figures, equations, etc. even when the document doesn’t have links. You can also search references in google scholar with one click!

Portals You can create portals from parts of documents to other parts displayed in a second window. So when you are reading a paragraph that is talking about a figure, table, algorithm, theorem, etc. you don’t have to keep jumping between the two locations.

Marks and Bookmarks Mark locations with one-character symbols and then quickly jump back to them. You can also create bookmarks which are like marks, but use a descriptive text instead of a symbol and can be searched.

Keyboard Focused While sioyek fully supports many mouse actions, it is still possible to use sioyek only using a keyboard. This includes functionality such as text selection too!

Synctex Sioyek autoreloads the document so you can preview the changes as you edit the latex file. You can also jump between the corresponding locations in PDF and latex files with one click.

Other features include configurability, extensibility with external commands and scripts, text highlighting, a discoverable command palette, and a visual ruler highlighting the current line.
