What's New in Halftone
1.2.0
September 29, 2026
NEW • Panel View. Read one panel at a time, in the right order — right-to-left too. Tap or swipe to step through panels, or hold to peek at the full page. Choose Overlay or Fade for a more immersive read. • Folder Support. Keep loose comics in folders, with nested folders from synced libraries, and find any comic by search. • Tap Navigation. Choose where taps turn pages: Left-Right, L-Shaped, Top-Bottom, or off. • Crop Borders. Trims scanned margins so the artwork fills the screen, and can remove credit strips. • Library settings: cover size, default chapter view and order, and background cover loading. • Hold Zoom: Edge Panning keeps the page moving while your finger rests at a screen edge. IMPROVED • Smoother library scrolling; covers load in the background and appear sooner. FIXED • Lots of bug fixes
