ComiNAS is a file browser and media player for enjoying comics, videos, music, PDFs, EPUB ebooks, and text files stored on your home NAS, along with photos and videos in your iPhone or iPad Photo Library. It connects directly via WebDAV / SMB / FTP / SFTP / OPDS, so you do not need to upload your private library to a cloud service. ◆ Open folders on your device and iCloud Drive Add folders from the Files picker and open them with the same viewers used for your NAS, with search, sorting, and bookmarks. Some storage providers do not allow folder selection; cloud files need a connection and free space. ◆ Read comics directly from your NAS Open ZIP / RAR / 7z / LZH / CBZ / CBR / CB7 / CBT / TAR archives without extracting them first, and browse the images inside as thumbnails. Images in jpg, png, webp, gif, and heic are supported, including animated WebP and GIF. Comic-friendly reading options include two-page spreads, right-to-left or left-to-right reading, cover-first layouts, and single-page display for wide images. Choose paged reading, continuous Vertical Scroll, or a page-curl effect. Move straight to the next volume when you finish one, or tap the screen edges to turn pages. You can also keep a small page number and clock on screen while reading. On iPhone Duo, read two-page spreads when open and single pages when closed. Premium tools crop margins, split wide pages, and enhance scanned pages. Add page markers inside a book, and view reading and playback stats in charts (Premium). ◆ Connect to Komga or Kavita libraries Browse self-hosted comic and book servers such as Komga or Kavita through their OPDS catalogs. Komga and Kavita open on shelves such as Keep Reading and On Deck, with series summaries, server-wide search, and offline saving of whole series. On servers with OPDS-PSE support, stream pages without downloading an entire book, resume where you left off, and keep reading progress in sync with the server. Streaming archives (CBZ, etc.) and EPUBs is a Premium feature. ◆ Play videos stored on your NAS Play MP4 / MOV and many other formats including mkv, avi, wmv, flv, webm, ogv, m2ts, and vob. VLC-powered playback includes seeking, subtitle tracks, and adjustable speed. Subtitle files (SRT / ASS / VTT) next to a video are shown too, and while paused you can step frame by frame and save a frame as a photo. ◆ Take your library offline Download files from your NAS and enjoy them without a connection from Offline Downloads on the Home screen. ◆ Get back to your favorite files faster Bookmark folders and open them from the Home screen in one tap. Recent Access lets you quickly return to the folders, files, and ZIP/RAR/7z archive entries you opened before. NAS Auto-Discovery finds devices on your network without an IP address, and Test Connection explains why a connection failed. ◆ View many file types in one app ComiNAS also supports background music playback with continuous play, album art, and a sleep timer, a built-in PDF viewer, an EPUB ebook reader, and direct viewing of text files such as txt, md, json, and source code. Markdown is formatted, CSV appears as tables, and encodings such as Shift_JIS are supported. The EPUB reader provides font size, line spacing, margin, and horizontal or vertical writing controls as a Premium feature. Music also supports repeat, shuffle, and formats such as WMA and APE. EPUBs have a table of contents for jumping to chapters, and PDFs turn one page at a time. Lock ComiNAS with biometrics or your device passcode. Light / Dark themes, cache management, and multiple saved servers are included too. To investigate problems and improve reliability, ComiNAS automatically sends crash information, app and device information, and diagnostic identifiers to Firebase Crashlytics.
