Is it free?
Reading your local files is free at full quality with every reading feature, up to 10 series — that's the trial, and it doesn't expire. Premium adds server connections, cloud drives, streaming, sync, unlimited series, and the privacy features. You can get it as a $19.99 lifetime unlock (one payment) or a subscription — $1.49/month or $14.99/year, with a 3-day free trial.
Do I need a subscription to use my own server?
No. That's the whole point. The subscription exists for people who prefer paying small amounts over time — it's the same Premium either way, and the lifetime unlock covers everything with one payment, no monthly fee to reach hardware you run yourself.
Which servers work?
Komga and Kavita natively — including two-way, page-level reading-progress sync — plus Audiobookshelf (the comics on an ABS server, with server-rendered covers and the same two-way progress sync), and anything that speaks OPDS: Codex, Ubooquity, Calibre-Web, Stump, and more. SMB shares and WebDAV work too, no server software needed.
Which formats does it read?
CBZ/ZIP, CBR/RAR, CB7/7z, PDF, plain folders of images, and image-based ePub (DRM-free, fixed-layout comic ePubs). Manga, manhwa, and webtoons are first-class: true right-to-left reading and a long-strip vertical mode with automatic detection.
Does reading progress sync with my server?
Yes — two-way and page-level with Komga, Kavita, and Audiobookshelf. Stop reading on your iPhone and the server's own web reader opens on the same page; read on the web and the app catches up. For sources that have no server-side progress of their own — SMB, WebDAV, OPDS, Dropbox, OneDrive, a Files-app folder — that's what iCloud sync is for (next question).
Does it sync between my iPhone and iPad?
With Komga, Kavita, or Audiobookshelf, yes, today — connect both devices to the same server and page-level progress follows you automatically. Beyond that, iCloud sync is in development, through your own iCloud account — no account with us, no server of ours in the middle. How it works: point both devices at the same SMB share, WebDAV server, OPDS catalog, or Files-app folder, and the app matches comics by their path on the share — so it keeps working when your NAS changes IP address or you connect by hostname on one device and address on the other. Reading progress for those sources, your source connections themselves (never passwords — those stay in each device's Keychain), hidden comics, and each series' reading mode and direction all follow you. Progress for the sources that sync through their own server — Komga, Kavita, Audiobookshelf — deliberately stays with that server, one source of truth per comic, no double-syncing.
Can I read offline?
Yes. Pin any chapter or series for offline with one tap — it downloads in the background on a queue that survives leaving the screen — and refresh it from the source whenever you like.
iPhone? iPad? Mac? Android?
iPhone and iPad now (iOS 17+). Mac is planned next, Android after that once the iOS app has proven itself — honest answer: one platform done properly at a time.
Where does the content come from?
From you. The app never bundles, fetches, or sources comics — no built-in catalogs, no "sources," no extensions. Your files and your servers are the only inputs. That's a hard rule, not a version-one limitation.
