READ CBZ, CBR, EPUB & PDF. BUILD A LIBRARY THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS. Bring the comics, manga, graphic novels, ebooks, and documents you already own. Uncover turns your files into a beautiful, organized reading library on iPhone, iPad, and Mac—ready whenever you want to read offline. YOUR FILES. FOUR ESSENTIAL FORMATS. • Open CBZ and CBR comic books. • Read EPUB ebooks in a clean, scrollable chapter view. • Open PDF books, comics, magazines, and documents. • Import from Files or Finder, open files with Uncover, drag and drop, or connect folder-backed libraries. COMIC AND MANGA READING, YOUR WAY Choose the clean standard reader for CBZ, CBR, and PDF, flip through an animated 2D book, or open a tactile 3D hardcover with page-curl effects. Read one page or a two-page spread, switch between left-to-right and right-to-left manga navigation, zoom into artwork, jump with the page navigator, and set autoplay to keep the story moving. For EPUB, enjoy a dedicated live chapter reader with selectable, scrollable text. ORGANIZE MORE THAN A FOLDER OF FILES Build multiple libraries from the folders you control. Search titles and notes, browse by folder, and filter by tags, rating, page count, reading status, favorites, comments, or recency. Sort by title, date, rating, pages, file size, or last read. Find duplicates without giving up ownership of your originals. PLAN WHAT TO READ NEXT Mark titles unread, in progress, finished, or Won’t Finish. Add favorites and 1–5 star ratings. Create reading lists with target dates, page progress, and pacing that shows whether you are ahead, on track, or behind. SAVE THE PAGES THAT STAY WITH YOU Keep a visual archive of saved pages. Add named bookmarks, document notes, and threaded page comments. With Uncover Pro, export or share rendered pages and add Apple Pencil markup to supported visual formats. YOUR MAC CAN HOST YOUR SHELF Keep original files on a Mac and use Remote Library to browse and read them from iPhone or iPad over your private local network. Pin remote books for offline reading. The Mac must be open, awake, and running Uncover while it hosts; Remote Library is not cloud storage. LOCAL-FIRST AND PERSONAL Your books stay in libraries and folders you choose. Uncover Pro can add an app PIN, biometric access, and per-library locks to keep selected shelves out of casual view. Locks protect access inside Uncover; they do not encrypt source files. FREE PREVIEW AND UNCOVER PRO The free experience lets you read the first 5 pages of each document and create 1 reading list, 5 tags, 5 saved pages, and 5 bookmarks. Uncover Pro unlocks reading beyond page 5, additional organization, page export and sharing, Apple Pencil markup, app and library security, and premium app icons. Available products, billing periods, prices, and any offers are shown before purchase. Supported document formats: CBZ, CBR, EPUB, and PDF.
