Comix Reader is a fast, focused way to read CBZ comics, manga, and webtoons on iPhone and iPad. Point it at a folder of CBZ files — on your device, in any cloud-synced folder, or on your own server — and it organizes everything into a clean library with cover thumbnails and per-series progress. CONTINUOUS SCROLL Read a whole chapter — or a whole series — without ever tapping "next page." When you reach the bottom of one chapter, the next one appends automatically. Perfect for webtoons and long-form manga. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR FILES Comix Reader doesn't host or sell content. You bring your own CBZ files. Drop them into a folder and Comix indexes the series and chapters automatically. SYNC ACROSS DEVICES Store your library in a cloud-synced folder — including iCloud Drive — and your reading progress, favorites, and completed series stay in sync across your devices. No account required. REMOTE LIBRARY Run the included web server on your home machine and read your full library over your network or VPN — no need to copy files to every device. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT A passcode-protected Hidden section keeps selected series off the main library view, unlockable with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. THOUGHTFUL READING EXPERIENCE - Crisp width-capped image decode for high-resolution webtoon pages - Lazy loading — only nearby pages stay in memory - Auto-saved bookmarks per chapter (page and scroll position) - Native edge-swipe to dismiss the reader - Continue Reading card that picks up exactly where you left off NO ADS. NO ACCOUNTS. NO TRACKING. Comix Reader collects no personal data and requires no sign-in.
