The Ninth

Ninth is a comic reader for people who own their comics. It turns the files you already have into a library worth getting lost in — no account, no subscription, no lock-in. EVERY FORMAT THAT MATTERS CBZ, CBR, CB7, PDF, and fixed-layout EPUB, with embedded ComicInfo and ComicBookInfo metadata read straight from your files. A READER BUILT FOR COMICS Two-page spreads, right-to-left manga, vertical webtoons, page curl, and Live Text on any panel — copy, translate, even lift characters as stickers. Guided view walks the page panel by panel, with automatic detection and a built-in editor when a page deserves better. YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED Series, creators, characters, and story arcs identified against the Grand Comics Database. Reading lists that span series, with gaps filled in and estimated reading time. Cover stacks, grids, and shelves; smart lists that stay current. SYNC WITHOUT A MIDDLEMAN Your library and progress sync privately through your own iCloud between iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Files live in your iCloud Drive — drop comics into the Ninth folder and they import on every device. BRING YOUR OWN CLOUD Browse and import from Dropbox, or connect OPDS, Komga, and Kavita servers — stream or download, with read progress synced back. EVEN PAPER COMICS Scan physical issues page by page with the built-in scanner — auto-straightened, tagged, filed like any other comic. LOCK WHAT'S YOURS Face ID or passcode in front of any comic, list, or collection. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no tracking. See theninth.app/privacy.
