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.

About

Torika

Features
Read full description

Other apps only open your books. Torika manages your library. Point it at a folder — or at the Komga, Kavita, WebDAV, or OPDS server you already run — and every series comes back identified, with a real cover, genres, description, and volume count. The same library then shows up on your Mac, iPad, and iPhone, with no server of ours to set up and no account to make. IT KNOWS WHAT YOUR FILES ARE. Most readers show you a filename and whatever the file happened to carry inside. Torika matches each series against MangaBaka's database and fills in the real covers, genres, themes, publication year, and volume counts your files never had. Nothing gets moved and nothing gets renamed — your files stay where you put them, because Torika manages the library, not your disk. ONE LIBRARY, WHEREVER YOU KEEP IT. Local folders and iCloud Drive, your NAS over WebDAV, your own Komga, Kavita, or Calibre-Web server over OPDS — they arrive as one shelf instead of four apps, and reading position, filters, and preferences follow through your own iCloud. If you already run a server, keep it. If you don't run one, you don't have to stand one up to get the library. (Remote sources are Pro.) FREE, WITH A ONE-TIME PRO UPGRADE. Connect a source free, whatever it is and however big. The free tier shows part of your library, with every reader feature. Pro shows the rest, and adds sources, tracker sync, Fix Match, and Refresh Metadata. One purchase, never a subscription. IN SYNC WITH THE TRACKER YOU ALREADY USE. Connect AniList, MyAnimeList, or MangaBaka once and Torika updates status and reading progress as you read — finish a volume and it will show as complete, change reading status there and it shows in your library. Your AniList custom lists become filters over your own shelves. (Tracker sync is Pro.) A READER FOR EACH FORMAT. Paged manga gets right-to-left support and two-page spreads on iPad and Mac. Webtoons and manhwa get continuous vertical scroll, detected automatically, and EPUB light novels get a real prose reader with typography, margins, and theme controls for long sessions. CBZ, CBR, EPUB, and PDF files are all supported. REDISCOVER WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE. Torika will also help surface the series that have been abandoned halfway, volumes downloaded but never opened, series where you own the complete set, and the one that just finished publishing while you weren't looking. FIND ANYTHING, OR JUST BROWSE. Filter by tag, genre, publisher, reading status, or content rating, and hide the tags you'd rather not see. Group shelves by author, demographic, or decade, and save a search as a shelf. Or open the app and let it hand you something. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT. There's no account, no ads, and no analytics — nothing about what you read is sent anywhere. Series titles only go to metadata providers for the sources you turn on, and your reading stays between you and your devices.
