About Lore: Reader for Wikipedia

I wanted a quiet, beautiful way to read Wikipedia. That's what Lore is. For many of us, getting lost in Wikipedia is a near-daily hobby. Lore is built to make that easy and pleasant, with beautiful theming and text set in a classic serif font. No edit buttons, banners, or other elements to get in the way of reading and learning. READING, REFINED • Book-like typography with adjustable text size • Five hand-tuned themes: Warm Sepia, Cool Gray, Deep Blue, Sage Green, and Paper • Clean article layouts: collapsible tables, elegant infoboxes, footnotes tucked away • Tap any image to view it full screen • Jump anywhere in an article with the table of contents FRICTIONLESS • Instant search across English Wikipedia • Follow links from article to article, tumble down that rabbit hole • Reading history, kept only on your device • Share any article, or send Wikipedia pages straight to Lore with the share sheet and Safari extension • On iPhone and iPad, with the text column kept to a comfortable width KEEP WHAT YOU FIND • Save an article and it stays with you • Saved articles open with no connection at all, on a plane or underground • Everything is stored on your device. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
