Klibri is a reader for your own Kavita library. It connects to your self-hosted Kavita server and lets you read your whole collection of manga, comics and books — on your iPhone and iPad. Your library stays on your server. Klibri just reads it. Klibri needs a Kavita server you already run. It doesn't host or sell content of its own. READ EVERY FORMAT Manga and comics (CBZ, CBR), e-books (EPUB) and documents (PDF) — one app for your entire library. BUILT FOR COMICS AND MANGA Pinch to zoom, double-tap, swipe or tap the edges to turn pages. Read left-to-right or right-to-left. Read long strips in continuous webtoon mode. Adjust screen brightness without leaving the page. A REAL BOOK READER The EPUB reader gives you four themes (including a true-black mode for OLED), six fonts, and fine control over size, spacing and margins. Read in scrolling or paged mode, and search the full text of any book. READ OFFLINE Download chapters and read them anywhere — no connection needed. PDFs render fully offline. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Klibri syncs your reading progress with your Kavita server in real time. Move from iPhone to iPad, or to Kavita in a browser, and carry on at the exact page. Klibri won't overwrite progress you've made elsewhere. YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY Browse series, collections and reading lists. Search your entire library, even a large one. Mark chapters or whole series as read. ALL YOUR KAVITA SERVERS Add more than one Kavita server and switch between them in a tap. Each server keeps its own libraries and its own reading progress. Your logins sync across your Apple devices through iCloud Keychain, so you set up once. Free. In English and French. iPhone and iPad, iOS 16 and later. ## Key features - Reads manga, comics (CBZ, CBR), ebooks (EPUB), and PDFs - Offline reading of downloaded content - Syncs reading progress with Kavita server - Customizable ebook reader with themes and fonts - Supports multiple Kavita servers - Webtoon continuous scroll mode ## Recent user reviews (1 of 1) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/klibri/id6768134637/reviews.md ### 5/5 — perfect app for viewing self hosted comics *2026-08-19* This app is fantastic as a free app for viewing comics you have self hosted via kavita.

Klibri keeps them and only fetches again when your server has something new — pull down to refresh any time Reading progress now shows up right away under each cover Switching accounts no longer leaves the previous one's screens behind Fixed the app filling up your device over time and eventually refusing to start, on very large libraries Fixed a large library freezing the app while it loaded Fixed a series not opening from "Want to Read" on iPhone A dropped connection no longer leaves a library half-loaded "Clear cache" in Settings now clears everything it should ### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-22 Reading lists can now be filled from the app: a button on the series page adds it to any list, or to a new one you name on the spot — and tapping a list it is already in takes it back out. The Reading Lists tab creates empty lists, and a list's own page has a reorder button — drag the entries into the order you want — plus a menu on each entry to move or remove it Collections can be filled from the app too, from the same button: add the series to a collection, or to a new one — and touch it again to take it out Read in landscape on iPhone, which the app never allowed: turn the phone and a comic shows two pages side by side, the way the book was drawn. The cover stays alone so every later spread falls right, and the switch is in the reader's settings Share the page you are reading, straight from the reader Smart filters saved in Kavita show up under Libraries, and open the series they select Switch servers from the iPhone home screen: the server's name under the greeting opens the picker, when you have more than one Fixed covers coming out as empty placeholders on a device whose stored session had lost its API key — images authenticate with that key, so everything else kept working while nothing showed A Bookmarks screen gathers every page you kept, series by series — pinned in the Lists tab on iPhone, under "Want to Read" in the iPad sidebar, and hidden while you have none Bookmarks now open where they point: touching one opens its chapter on the bookmarked page Books can be bookmarked as well, on the section you are reading, and their bookmarks are listed as text — a book has no page image to show Share a bookmarked page: long press it in the bookmarks sheet and send or save the page itself Rate a series out of five and write your review, from the card under the summary. Both land on your Kavita server, so the web UI shows them too Bookmark a page while reading: the reader's button marks it on your Kavita server, so it shows up in the web reader too. Series pages get a bookmarks button showing the marked pages as thumbnails Series pages list related series — prequels, sequels, side stories, spin-offs — when your server declares them ### 1.1.3 — 2026-08-21 "Want to Read" is now in Klibri: the read-later list you already have on your Kavita server. Find it pinned at the top of the Lists tab on iPhone, and just under Home in the iPad sidebar Add or remove a series with the bookmark button on its page — a long press on a cover in the list removes it too The home screen shows a "Want to Read" row, right under "In progress" Read it offline: Klibri can preload the first unread chapter of each series, the first three, or the whole series — over Wi-Fi only if you prefer. Turned off until you choose in Settings Preloaded chapters clean up after themselves, once read or after a delay you set, and removing a series from the list deletes what was preloaded for it. Downloads you started yourself are never touched Home screen covers are a little smaller and the sections tighter, so more fits on screen ### 1.1.2 — 2026-07-25 Webtoon reading: a chapter is now marked as read as soon as you reach its end. Chapters ending with a short page — a credits page, for instance — stayed stuck just below 100% and were never marked as read The "Continue" button now fits its label on narrower iPhones instead of breaking it across two lines --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
