Komic Reader is an elegant, feature-rich iOS app designed specifically to stream, read, and manage your manga and comic collections by connecting directly to self-hosted media servers like Komga and Kavita. Instead of browsing public websites with intrusive ads, it turns your personal digital library into a private, premium Netflix-like streaming experience for your iPad, iPhone, and Mac. Core Architecture & Integration
Server-Driven Access: Built explicitly as an optimized client for self-hosted Komga and Kavita servers.
Multi-Server Support: Allows you to connect to multiple server instances and switch between libraries seamlessly.
Format Flexibility: Directly handles major comic and ebook formats including CBZ, CBR, PDF, and EPUB.
Cross-Device Compatibility: Available on iOS 17.5+, iPadOS, macOS (M1/M2/M3 chips), and even Apple Vision Pro. Features That Elevate the Reading Experience
Smart Progress Syncing: Automatically mirrors your “Keep Reading” and “On Deck” progress hooks across your device ecosystem and back to your host server.
Tailored Navigation: Supports standard left-to-right comic layouts as well as right-to-left manga page directions and continuous vertical Webtoon scrolling.
AI Image Upscaling: Uses on-device artificial intelligence to upscale lower-resolution images, fixing the blur or pixelation often found in older manga scans.
Fast Intelligent Cropping: Features automatic border-cropping detection to maximize your screen space by clipping away blank margins.
True Offline Access: Lets you download files over local network connections to read securely on flights or during commutes.
If you are looking to step away from slow-loading third-party reading options, setting up a home server with Komic Reader provides total ownership and zero advertisements over your digital library. If you want to get started, please let me know: Do you already have a Komga or Kavita server configured? What device do you plan on reading your manga on?
