Everything a newspaper needs to publish its e-paper

Self-hosted Laravel software. No monthly fees per reader, no third-party viewer, your data on your server.

A real page-turning reader

Readers see the printed pages exactly as published, with zoom, pinch and drag, thumbnails, supplements, keyboard and swipe navigation.

Clickable stories

Draw a rectangle around each story in the story mapper. Readers click it to read the story in large type, with its own shareable page.

Clip & share

Readers cut out any part of a page and share it on Facebook, X or WhatsApp, with your newspaper's name printed under the clip.

"Continued on page 6"

Link the parts of a story that jumps between pages; readers follow it with one click.

Upload images or a PDF

Drop page images, or import the print PDF: each page is turned into a sharp image in the browser. Nothing to install on the server.

Scheduled publishing

Prepare tomorrow's paper tonight and set a publish time. It appears on its own, without a cron job.

Premium editions

Free preview pages, reader accounts and subscriptions with an end date. Locked page images are never sent to the browser.

Analytics & ads

Reads per day, edition and publication, most-read stories, clips, and banner slots with impressions and clicks.

Screens

The demo newspaper, "The Meridian", is drawn by Inkfold's demo generator: every story, name and advertiser is fictional.
