What's New in Halftone
1.1.0
August 19, 2026
NEW • Stream CBR/RAR comics page by page. Most RAR archives now open on demand straight from your server — no more waiting for the whole file to download. Anything that can't be streamed falls back to a full download automatically. • Share Page. Save or share the page you're reading as an image, right from the reader. • Progress sync for local comics. Reading progress now syncs for imported files too — open the same comic on another device, or re-import it later, and you're back on your page. • Unhiding comics for the first time now offers to set up your PIN. IMPROVED • Synced folders are sturdier: better browsing, smarter duplicate handling, and more reliable re-scans. • Remote CBR/RAR reading is faster — page indexes are cached, so reopening a comic is quick. FIXED • Wi-Fi and file import issues. • Vertical reader: "Go to Page" now lands exactly where you asked, and very tall pages display at the correct height. • Plus other smaller fixes throughout.
