TritonPanels is a premium comic and manga reader for the files you already own — on iPhone and iPad. An active subscription is required. There is no free library. Start with a 7-day free trial, then continue at the monthly or yearly price shown in the app. Prices are set by Apple and vary by region. WHY READERS CHOOSE TRITONPANELS Your cloud, your comics Connect Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive and read from the library you already keep. We never host your files, and sign-in tokens stay on your device. Prefer to keep everything local? Import with the system file picker. On iPhone and iPad, Google Drive comics are chosen through the Files app. Google only lets an app browse your Drive folders itself after a paid annual security review, which would push up the price of TritonPanels. Dropbox and OneDrive browse in-app. Panel by Panel Read one panel at a time, full screen. An on-device detector trained on over a thousand hand-checked pages, including European albums and classic Sunday strips, finds the panels and frames each one on its art; no page ever leaves your device. Tap the sides to step and the top for controls. Pinch closed for the whole page, spread to zoom back in, and drag with two fingers to peek past a panel's edge. Hide Surrounding Panels blacks out the rest of the page. A reader that gets out of the way Single page, double-page spreads, continuous scroll or Panel by Panel. Fit-to-page or original size with pinch-to-zoom. Turn pages with a slide, a tap on the edge, or instantly. Brightness, keep-awake, and a thumbnail strip to jump anywhere. Controls fade while you read, or stay until you tap. Each way of reading explains its gestures the first time you open it, and How Controls Work in the reader menu brings the guide back any time. Optional image filters for scans: reduce noise, sharpen line art, crop blank borders, and soften moiré. A library worth keeping Collections, reading lists, tags and favourites. Filter by unread, in-progress or completed, and sort by title, date added, last read, or series. Covers and series details are read from ComicInfo.xml, with a smart filename fallback. Real search Find comics by title, filename, series, writer, publisher or tag. Read anywhere Everything you import is readable offline. Optional auto-download of new cloud comics, with a Wi-Fi-only guard so it stays off mobile data. Never lose your place Reading progress is saved automatically, so every series resumes where you stopped. Bookmark any page and attach a note. Track the journey See comics read, pages turned, reading streaks and monthly completions. Light and dark themes. FORMATS CBZ, CBR (RAR4), CBT and PDF. CBR files compressed with the newer RAR5 format are not supported — re-save as RAR4 or CBZ. PRIVACY No ads. No in-app accounts. Your comics, reading progress, bookmarks and notes stay on your device, and panel detection happens on the device too. Cloud sign-in tokens never leave the device. We collect anonymous crash reports (Sentry) and subscription state from the App Store — not a profile of what you read. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; we never see your card details. SUBSCRIPTION TritonPanels requires a subscription to open your library and read any comic. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancel any time in your Apple ID subscription settings.
