OneComic

Your comic library stays on your NAS - nothing needs to be moved onto your phone. Connect over SMB or WebDAV, browse your folders, tap a file and start reading. No manual transfer step, and no syncing your whole library to the phone. Opens CBZ, CBR, ZIP, RAR, EPUB, MOBI and AZW3, with right-to-left page turns for manga. Key Features: - Direct NAS access: Connect over SMB / WebDAV to a NAS, a router drive, or a shared folder on your LAN. Browse it, tap a file, and read. - Wide format support: CBZ, CBR, ZIP, RAR, EPUB, MOBI and AZW3, plus local import and Wi-Fi browser upload. - Transparent storage: Anything you open is kept on your device. Settings shows how much, lets you set a cap, and clears it in one tap. Deleting a local copy never touches the file on your NAS. - Smart reading: Full support for right-to-left (manga) and left-to-right page direction. - Completely clean: No ads, no in-app purchases, no account required. The app has no backend - your files never leave your local network. Note: OneComic is a reader only and provides no comic content. Users supply their own legally obtained files.
