Comic Seer is a fast, private reader for the comics you already own. Point it at your files — CBZ, CBR, CBT, PDF, or folders of images — and read them on a clean, comic-native surface built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Everything stays on your device unless you choose otherwise. READING - Smooth single- and two-page layouts, with automatic wide-page (double-spread) handling. - Fit to width, height, or whole page; pinch to zoom and pan. - Turn pages with tap zones, on-screen controls, or the keyboard — your choice. - Right-to-left (manga) reading, per comic or as a global default. - Per-page rotation, plus gamma and yellow-cast correction for old scans. - Share the current page, just the visible area, or the whole comic. LIBRARY - Organize with library folders, or open a single file. - On iPhone and iPad, import straight from the Files app and the share sheet. - Reading progress and bookmarks are remembered automatically. ACROSS YOUR DEVICES (OPTIONAL) - Turn on Cloud Sync to keep bookmarks, reading progress, and preferences consistent across your own devices. - Your devices link automatically through iCloud Keychain — there is no account to create. - Sync is keyed by a private, random identifier, never your name or email. COMIC DETAILS (OPTIONAL) - Look up series and issue information from ComicVine. DRM-FREE, BY DESIGN Comic Seer never sells you content and never locks your files. It opens the comics you bring to it, and it keeps working offline. Comic Seer is free. If you would like to support development, an optional tip link is available — it unlocks nothing and is entirely voluntary. Data from Comic Vine.
