## Description

Turn scattered PDFs into your personal bookshelf.
Pick up reading right where you left off.

Kamikura is a PDF bookshelf app for iPhone and iPad.
Instead of just storing and opening PDFs from Files or the cloud, Kamikura lets you arrange them on shelves, organize them for easy browsing, and treat them like a library you can actually enjoy reading from.

Books that are not yet on your device can be downloaded only when you need them.
Save storage space while keeping the books you want ready to open anytime.

From manga and technical books to academic papers and reference materials, the more PDFs you collect, the more common the frustrations become: not knowing where a book is, seeing different shelf orders on different devices, or wanting books available only when you need them. Kamikura is designed to solve those problems through a better bookshelf experience.

Great for people who want to:

manage PDFs more like a real bookshelf
use the same shelf order, reading progress, and bookmarks on both iPhone and iPad
save device storage while keeping books easy to access
read manga and documents comfortably in one app

Key Features

Automatically displays PDFs placed in your iCloud Drive folder (Documents/kamikura) on your bookshelf
Downloads and caches books on demand only when needed
Organizes your library freely with bookshelves, shelves, and smart bookshelves
Browses by genre, author, and title using bibliographic metadata
Finds books quickly with tags, full-text search, and metadata search
Saves reading settings such as binding direction and display preferences for each book
Syncs bookmarks, reading position, annotations, and bookshelf structure across devices
Supports importing from Google Drive and Dropbox

Kamikura is not just about having more features.
What matters is not making you wait when you open a book, letting you return naturally to where you were reading, keeping the bookshelf calm and usable even during sync, and making “store, find, and continue reading” feel like one smooth experience.

Privacy
Kamikura is not built around uploading your library to our servers.
Your books and bookshelf data are stored on your device or in your own iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or Dropbox.
