Comic Reader Y for Mobile

Read comics and image folders as-is from USB drives, iCloud Drive, Mac or NAS (SMB). On-device AI tagging, AI search, full-text search. No ads, no tracking.

Comic Reader Y reads the comic files and image folders you already have, with no conversion, from your Mac or PC, a USB drive, or a NAS.

■ Supported formats • ZIP / CBZ, RAR / CBR, 7z / CB7, LZH, TAR / CBT (including compressed TAR such as tar.gz) • EPUB (image-based comic EPUBs without DRM) • PDF • Folders of images (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, AVIF, JPEG XL…) • Password-protected ZIP (the password is never stored)

■ Read books wherever they are • Copy over USB from the Finder (Mac) or Apple Devices / iTunes (PC); the "+" menu shows how • Import files and folders from the Files app or the share sheet • Read folders on USB drives, SD cards, external SSDs, or iCloud Drive in place • Connect to Mac file sharing or a NAS over SMB. Pages load one at a time, so large files open fast • WebDAV servers (NAS, Nextcloud, rclone…) over https, with self-signed certificates you can trust by fingerprint. Works via Tailscale too • With Tailscale built in, read books on your home Mac, PC, or NAS while away. No Tailscale app is needed on your iPhone; a Tailscale account is required • Read books on a nearby iPhone or iPad over a direct connection (no shared Wi-Fi), protected by a code and the host's approval • Share over SMB so a Mac, PC, or SMB app on your Wi-Fi can read and write your books • Sync external or NAS folders into On My iPhone or the Secret Folder; later runs fetch only new books • Books on external drives and NAS join your shelf as you open their folders

■ A reader built for comics • Right-to-left or left-to-right, automatic spreads on iPad and landscape iPhone, cover alone, or spreads shifted by one page • Horizontal paging or vertical scrolling • A 3×3 or 4×4 tap grid you can assign freely (pages, menu, bookmark, thumbnails…) • Customizable reader menu: choose which functions appear, in what order, as icons or in the menu • Yellowed-paper correction: old scans back to white paper and black ink, automatically or always • Per-book settings remember reading mode, direction, spread, zoom, and correction for each book • Auto page turn, optionally paced by the amount of text on each page • Monochrome and sepia tones, background colors, keyboard paging on iPad

■ A shelf that's easy to browse • Home shows Continue Reading, Up Next (next books in the folder), Recently Read, Stock, and Recently Added; sections and background are configurable • Browse by folder, by author, or as one flat list, in list or grid view, sorted by name, title, author, or date • Author, title, and volume are picked out of file names automatically, with built-in or custom naming rules • Search across file names, titles, authors, and folder names, or only within the open folder • Stock (your to-read list), bookmarks, and history • Copy, move, delete, rename, and batch actions

■ AI tagging, AI search and full-text search (Apple Intelligence devices only) • AI tagging: when rules fall short, AI reads author, title, and volume from the file name, folder names, and cover text, only for books you choose; edit tags by hand anytime • AI search: describe a book in a sentence or type a half-remembered reading. Titles, authors, and file names are matched by their reading as well • Full-text search: page text is recognized and indexed, so you can find a page by a line of dialogue or a word • Everything runs on your device; nothing is sent anywhere

■ Privacy and locking • App Lock with Face ID / Touch ID or a 4-digit passcode • Secret Folder: an area hidden from the Files app and your Mac, with its own history and bookmarks

■ Backups Shelf data is included in iCloud Backup; files in On My iPhone and the Secret Folder are optional.

Available in English, Japanese, French, and Korean.

Note: AI tagging and AI search require Apple Intelligence. Full-text search uses iOS text recognition. Note: This app is a viewer for your own files. It does not include any comics or images.
