COLUMN Filer Viewer is a viewer for enjoying your own manga and videos on iPhone. Pick a folder in iCloud Drive or on your iPhone, and every series lines up on a bookshelf with its cover. No importing or converting needed. You can also send titles with covers set up in COLUMN Filer on your Mac by cable or AirDrop.
PICK A FOLDER, GET A BOOKSHELF
• Choose a folder in iCloud Drive or on your iPhone, and the series inside appear with their covers. Your folders are read as they are — nothing is imported into the app.
• Organize folders however you like. Any folder that contains images becomes a volume.
• Covers are made automatically from the first page. For wide covers (front and back side by side), the front is cropped based on the reading direction.
• Only the folders you open are read, so even a large library opens without waiting.
RECEIVE FROM YOUR MAC
• Send packages with covers set up in COLUMN Filer for Mac 1.5 to your iPhone by cable or AirDrop. They don't go through iCloud Drive, so iCloud storage isn't a concern.
• Received titles appear on your bookshelf with the covers you chose.
• Receiving from a Mac requires COLUMN Filer for Mac 1.5 or later.
READ MANGA
• Switch between right-to-left (manga) and left-to-right (comics) with one tap.
• Swipe with your thumb or tap the edge of the screen to turn pages.
• Page count like "12 / 200", and a page slider that appears only when you want it.
• Pick up where you left off — your position is saved for each volume.
• Supports JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP and more.
WATCH VIDEOS
• Videos are sorted by series, season and episode, ready to resume.
• Plays MP4, MOV and M4V — and MKV, AVI and WMV as-is.
• Switch audio and subtitle tracks, change playback speed, jump by chapter, skip 10 seconds.
• Keep watching in Picture in Picture while you do something else.
EASY ON STORAGE
• Items in iCloud are downloaded when you read or watch them. By default, videos download only over Wi-Fi.
• A mark shows at a glance which volumes and episodes are on your device.
• Remove finished volumes and episodes from your device — the originals stay in iCloud.
• See how much space the app uses and tidy it up.
TITLE INFORMATION (OPTIONAL)
For anime, the app can look up titles, synopses and posters from AniList — only if you allow it. It is off by default.
YOUR FILES STAY SAFE
COLUMN Filer Viewer only reads your files. It never changes, moves or deletes your original images or videos. "Remove from This Device" only removes the downloaded copy; the original in iCloud Drive stays.
PRIVACY
No personal information, files or usage data are collected or sent. No account, no sign-in, no ads.
TRY IT FIRST
Samples with fictional manga and videos are included, so you can try reading and playback right away.
PLEASE NOTE
• Compressed files such as ZIP, CBZ and RAR can't be opened. Please place the extracted folders instead.
• Files protected by DRM can't be shown or played.
• Some videos may not play, depending on how they were encoded.
REQUIREMENTS
iPhone with iOS 18 or later.
