In the + menu on Home or Browse, choose "Add via Tailscale," sign in with your Tailscale account, pick a device from the list, and connect with the user name and password of the Mac or NAS. Book data travels directly between your devices, encrypted, and no iOS VPN configuration is created. The key is stored only on this device; sign out in Settings > Remote > Tailscale. Away from home you'll be on cellular data, so turn on "Load over Cellular" in Settings > Remote. Note: using Tailscale requires a Tailscale account. Problems caused by the Tailscale service itself are outside the scope of this app's support. ■ WebDAV servers Add a folder on a WebDAV server, such as a NAS (Synology, QNAP, and others), Nextcloud, or rclone, and read its books just like an SMB share. In the + menu on Home or Browse, choose "Add a WebDAV Server," enter the URL, sign in with your user name and password, and pick a folder. For a self-signed https certificate, the app shows the certificate's fingerprint; once you check it and choose to trust it, only that certificate is accepted from then on. Plain http works on your local network, and WebDAV also works via Tailscale ("Add via Tailscale" > "Add via WebDAV"). ■ "Up Next" and "Stock" on Home Home gains an "Up Next" section, showing the books that follow the one you last opened in the same folder, and a "Stock" section, showing the books in your stock. Choose which sections appear, their order, and how many items they show in Settings > Home. ■ Bug fix With "Reduce Transparency" turned on in iOS (Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size), opening a book showed a solid white, black, or gray screen with no menu. This is fixed. Settings > General also gains "Screen Effects," where you can turn off the blurred background behind the page thumbnails and the flip effect when switching Secret Mode individually. ### 1.3 — 2026-11-03 What's new in version 1.3 ■ Share with nearby devices Connect two iPhones or iPads in the same room directly over Wi-Fi and read the books on one device (the host) from the other (the guest). No shared Wi-Fi network or internet connection is needed. In Browse, under "Nearby Devices," the host taps "Start Sharing as Host" and the guest picks the host's name and enters the 4-digit connection code; once the host allows it, the books are ready to read. Works in both Normal and Secret Mode, and books read in Secret Mode leave nothing behind on the guest once the session ends. ■ Share over SMB Turn your iPhone or iPad into an SMB server so a Mac, a PC, or another app that supports SMB on the same Wi-Fi can read and write the books on it. Add, rename, and organize books from the Finder and elsewhere without a cable. In Browse, under "SMB Server," tap "Start Sharing over SMB" to see the address, user name, and password to connect with. Sharing runs only while the app is in the foreground, and starting it in Secret Mode shares the Secret Folder. Turn it on or off in Settings > Share. ■ Also • When a book in iCloud Drive hasn't been downloaded yet, tapping it shows the download progress in the list and opens the book when it finishes. You can cancel the download • In iCloud Drive and other cloud folders, Move and Delete are no longer offered, so the original files can't be removed by mistake (Copy still works) ### 1.2 — 2026-10-30 What's new in version 1.2 ■ New formats • TAR / CBT, including compressed TAR (tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz) • Image-based EPUB (fixed layout, no DRM), with an option to follow the reading direction written in the book • AVIF, JPEG XL, JPEG 2000, APNG, and ICO images ■ Per-book settings Reading mode (horizontal / vertical), direction, spread, zoom, and yellowed-paper correction can now be remembered for each book (only when you turn it on in Settings). The global settings don't change. ■ Yellowed-paper correction Brings the yellowed paper of old books closer to white and faded ink closer to black. "Automatic" corrects only books where yellowing is found; "Always" corrects every book. Adjust the strength and compare with the original. ■ Customizable reader menu Choose the order of the eleven functions at the top right and whether each appears as an icon or in the menu, with separate icon counts for portrait and landscape. Page thumbnails now appear over the blurred page. ■ Home settings Choose which sections appear on Home, how many items they show, and the background (cover colors, a solid color, or the Continue Reading thumbnail). ■ Download queue Remote downloads and iCloud imports are gathered in one sheet, reachable from the progress button. ■ The app is now available in French and Korean ■ Also • Ascending and descending sort in Browse; network folders sort by name or date modified • With no network, the app no longer tries to reach SMB servers and tells you right away; the reader can be closed while loading • The "Reading" section in Settings is now "Display" and includes Effects ### 1.1 — 2026-10-26 ■ Folder sync Sync a folder on a USB drive or NAS (SMB) into On My iPhone or the Secret Folder. Touch and hold a folder and choose "Sync to a folder on this iPhone". Later runs download only what's new, and you choose whether books removed from the source are removed from your iPhone too. Syncing keeps going after you leave the app. ■ AI search (Apple Intelligence devices only) The Search tab gains "AI Search". Describe a book in a sentence, such as "the one where a hero sets out to defeat the demon king, by an author called Yamada something", or type a half-remembered reading. Titles, authors, and file names are matched by their reading (romaji) as well, and matches in the full-text index are added to the candidates. Everything runs on your device. ■ Tags, author view and search for books on USB drives and NAS When you open a folder on an external drive or NAS, the books directly inside join your shelf index. They get tags from your naming rules, show up in the author view, and appear in the Search tab. Subfolders are never crawled all at once, so large shares stay fast. ■ Search within a folder Search only inside the folder you have open in Browse, including folders on USB drives and NAS. ■ Better reading order in full-text search Vertical and horizontal text are told apart and grouped balloon by balloon, so lines of dialogue come out in a more natural order. Books you have already indexed can be rebuilt with "Update Index". ■ Also • The "+" button is now on Home as well, so importing and adding sources is one tap away • "Import from Mac and PC" walks you through the steps for Mac and for Windows PC • "Download Files" can now import whole folders • "Add Network Folder" shows nearby servers and manual entry on one screen • The reader menu gets a spread toggle button and opens the Display and Controls settings directly. The book title is shown at the top while the menu is visible • "Move to Folder" added to the context menus in Stock, bookmarks, history and search results • Support for the foldable iPhone Duo display ### 1.0 — 2026-10-24 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
