Klibri reads your own library from your Kavita or Komga server — manga, comics and books, on your iPhone and iPad. Your library stays on your server. Klibri just reads it. Klibri needs a Kavita or Komga server you already use (Komga 1.20 or later). It doesn't host or sell content of its own. KAVITA OR KOMGA Enter your server's address and sign in. Klibri recognizes Kavita or Komga on its own: there is nothing to choose. 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, two pages side by side, or long strips in continuous webtoon mode. Klibri keeps your reading brightness for each account. 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 column mode, and search the full text of any book. READ OFFLINE Download chapters and read them anywhere — no connection needed. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Your reading progress goes back to your server, EPUB included. Move from iPhone to iPad, or to your server's web reader, and carry on. YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY Browse series, collections and reading lists. Keep a Want to Read list and bookmarks. Search your entire library, even a large one. Mark chapters or whole series as read. ALL YOUR SERVERS Add several servers, Kavita and Komga alike, 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.

Verdict

The call

Komic and Klibri both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Klibri's written reviews are positive against 59% of Komic's. Klibri also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Komic's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 5). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
