## What is Glassy Comics?

Your comics. Beautifully.

Glassy Comics is a private, powerful comic reader that lives entirely on your device. Import your collection, organize it your way, and read with a polished experience designed for iOS.

READS EVERY FORMAT
Open PDF, EPUB, CBZ, CBR, CB7, CBT, 7Z, TAR, GZ, and ZIP files, 10 formats, all handled natively with no server or conversion step required.

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY
Browse comics in a visual grid or compact list. Organize with folders, search by title, filter by read status, and bulk-select to move, rename, or delete. Smart reading progress is tied to file content, so it survives renames and moves.

A READER BUILT FOR COMICS
Swipe or tap through pages with fluid animations. Use the thumbnail scrubber to jump to any page instantly. Read single pages or two-page spreads. Choose from four reading modes — OLED Black, Dark Gray, Sepia, and Light — with optional page tint. Supports both left-to-right and right-to-left reading for manga.

READING STATS DASHBOARD
Track your reading streaks, total pages read, weekly activity, and session history, all computed locally on your device. No account needed, no data leaves your phone.

WIDGETS & SPOTLIGHT
Four home screen widgets keep your reading front and center: Continue Reading, Reading Streak, Weekly Activity, and Library Shelf. Comics are also indexed in Spotlight for instant search from anywhere on your device.

CONNECT TO KOMGA & JELLYFIN
Link your Komga or Jellyfin server to browse and read your hosted library right inside the app. Your self-hosted collection, wherever you are.

WIFI TRANSFER
Import comics wirelessly from any computer on your local network. No cables, no cloud accounts.

STORE YOUR COMICS IN iCLOUD
Keep your library in iCloud Drive so your comics are available on all your devices and right inside the Files app. Your reading progress syncs too, so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

PRIVACY FIRST
No cloud dependency, no data harvesting, no account required. Your library is fully under your control.

### 5/5 — This app is well worth the money!

*2026-05-22*

I was looking for reader that was easy to use and can open large files. This app allowed me to test a couple of files for free and when those worked when other applications couldn’t, I immediately purchased it. The developer has been responsive to my questions and has been updating fairly frequently. I also think the developer has been taking feedback from users, which is a good thing. I typically do not leave reviews, but I felt compelled to do so because this has been great for me.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much :)

### 5/5 — Best Comic Reader on iOS

*2026-04-04*

I have been looking for a new comic reader for a long time to replace Chunky. Finally, this is the one. It handles all of my comics beautifully. It is stable. It looks great and handles collections well. No subscriptions, just a one time purchase. The developer is extremely responsive and was able to add new features very quickly. If you’re looking for a modern Chunky replacement, stop here and get it!

**Developer response:** Thank you!
