Lenticule: Comic Book Reader

New: Lenticule on Apple Watch. Send any comic to your wrist and read it offline, panel by panel — with a Smart Stack widget that picks up right where you stopped.

The most advanced comic book reader for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. CBR, CBZ, and PDF with on-device translation, guided panel reading, Right-to-Left manga, 3D depth, color modes, HDR, TV & Glasses Mode, and your whole cloud collection — in a stunning Liquid Glass library.

TRANSLATE ANY COMIC, RIGHT ON THE PAGE Found a series that never got translated? Tap the globe. Lenticule reads the lettering and paints the translation back into the bubbles — same colors, same style, same energy. Not subtitles. The actual page, in your language.

Translate a page or the whole issue in the background while you read, flip between original and translated instantly, and reword any line yourself.

PRIVATE, OFFLINE, AND YOURS TO KEEP Text recognition, translation, and an optional Apple Intelligence pass that keeps names and tone consistent all run on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded. Works in airplane mode, and exports as a fresh CBZ.

The app speaks English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Macedonian.

READ ON YOUR APPLE WATCH Send a comic from your iPhone and read it on your wrist — offline, phone left behind. Guided mode frames one panel at a time, the Digital Crown zooms in on the lettering, and your place follows you back to the phone.

Keep it in your Smart Stack, or ask Siri to continue your comic. With VoiceOver, Lenticule reads each panel's dialogue aloud as you go.

GUIDED PANEL READING Lenticule maps every panel and guides you through the action one beat at a time. No manual scrolling, no lost place — just the story, as the artist intended.

TRUE RIGHT-TO-LEFT MANGA MODE Read manga the authentic way. RTL mode flips page order, navigation, and double-page spreads so gestures, panel guidance, and transitions all flow right.

COLOR AND DYNAMIC RANGE True Hue for artist-accurate color, Noir for black-and-white contrast, and Accent to spotlight one color while the rest fades to grayscale — set per comic. Extended Dynamic Range uses your screen's full brightness and gamut: vibrant inks, deep blacks, highlights that shine.

YOUR CLOUD LIBRARY Connect Dropbox and OneDrive, or add any folder through the Files app — iCloud Drive, network shares, USB drives. Lenticule catalogs covers and metadata without downloading everything, so you browse thousands of issues and pull down only what you read.

Already run your own comic server? Give Lenticule your Komga, Kavita, or OPDS address and your library arrives with covers, series, and metadata intact. Lenticule reads the server you host — it doesn't provide comics or help you find any.

SCAN YOUR PHYSICAL COMICS Scan straight from your camera and Lenticule turns the pages into clean CBZ files — edge detection, perspective correction, plus optional AI sharpening and upscaling.

SPATIAL 3D, TV & GLASSES MODE The Spatial Engine separates foreground from background, giving flat art a parallax that makes characters feel alive. Plug in USB-C display glasses — XREAL, VITURE, RayNeo, Rokid — or AirPlay to your TV, and your comic fills the screen while your phone becomes the remote. Side-by-side glasses get true stereoscopic depth.

INTELLIGENT LIBRARY Automatic metadata, covers, and thousands of issues organized effortlessly, inside a Liquid Glass interface built for iOS 26. Tiled rendering keeps even huge PDFs scrolling without a hint of lag, and any comic exports as the untouched original or an optimized copy.

DEVICE COMPATIBILITY Guided Panel Reading: 4 GB RAM+ (iPhone 11+; M-series iPads). Ultra-Detail: 6 GB RAM+. HDR / EDR: Super Retina XDR or Liquid Retina XDR display. TV & Glasses Mode: any AirPlay screen or USB-C glasses; 3D needs side-by-side (SBS) glasses. Comic Translation: iOS 18 or later; language packs download once, then run offline. Apple Watch: watchOS 26 or later, paired with your iPhone. Watch reading is part of the full version.
