Halftone vs Rukomi

The reader your comic and manga server deserves — and the comfiest way to read on a phone. Now on the Mac too: one Premium purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac, and your place syncs through Komga, Kavita or iCloud. Halftone connects straight to the places you already keep comics: Komga and Kavita (native, not just OPDS), Audiobookshelf, any OPDS catalog, SMB shares on your NAS, WebDAV, Dropbox, OneDrive, and the files on your device. No account with us. No middleman server. No ads. PANEL VIEW Read one panel at a time, in the right order — manga's right-to-left included. Tap or swipe to step through the page, hold to peek at the whole thing, and pick Overlay or Fade to dim everything but the panel you're on. HOLD ZOOM Press and hold anywhere to magnify, then pan with the same finger — one-handed, for dense pages and small lettering. Rest your thumb at a screen edge and the page keeps moving. YOUR SERVER, FIRST-CLASS • Komga and Kavita: native API clients — series, collections, page-by-page streaming • Audiobookshelf: your server's comics, with its covers and progress • Two-way, page-level progress sync — stop on your iPhone, and the server's web reader opens on the same page • OPDS for everything else: Codex, Ubooquity, Calibre-Web, Stump, and more • SMB and WebDAV — your NAS, found automatically • Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud Drive, and any Files-app folder • Stream page by page without importing (CBZ, PDF, ePub and most CBR/RAR), or pin chapters for offline with one tap • Synced folders: point Halftone at a folder on your NAS or cloud drive and it mirrors the whole tree • iCloud sync carries your place to your other devices through your own iCloud — for imported comics and every source with no sync of its own A READER BUILT FOR COMICS • Apple Books–style page curl that folds at the spine — or a classic slide • Double-page spreads that pair themselves, with spine shadow and paper margins • True right-to-left for manga: page order, tap zones, curl, and scrubber all follow • A proper webtoon mode: smooth long-strip scrolling, detected automatically • AI Upscale: low-resolution scans are sharpened on-device as you read • Crop Borders trims scanned margins so the art fills the screen, and can drop credit strips • Tap zones your way: Left-Right, L-Shaped, Top-Bottom, or off • Match Page backgrounds: margins take the page's own color, or a soft blur of it A LIBRARY THAT KEEPS UP • Built for thousands of files: search down to the single comic, collections, merge and move • Folders for loose comics, so one-shots and odd issues stay together • Reads ComicInfo.xml on import: real series names, correct chapter order, right-to-left detected • Wi-Fi transfer from any computer's browser • Bookmarks and a farthest-read marker — re-read an earlier chapter without losing your place • One-tap backup to a folder you pick; export as standard CBZ with ComicInfo.xml • Privacy tools: Incognito reading, Face ID app lock, hidden comics READS EVERYTHING CBZ/ZIP, CBR/RAR, CB7/7z, PDF, image-based ePub (DRM-free), and plain folders of images.

Rukomi is a comic reader and local library manager built for comic collectors. Import and organize comics on your iPhone or iPad, or access remote libraries through SMB, WebDAV, or OPDS. When supported by the server and file format, you can start streaming immediately without downloading the entire file first. 【Broad Format Support】 Supports comic archives, documents, ebooks, and common image formats, including ZIP/CBZ, RAR/CBR, PDF, EPUB, MOBI/AZW/AZW3, JPG/JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, HEIC/HEIF, BMP, TIFF/TIF, and SVG. No manual extraction or conversion is required—import a file and start reading. 【Open a Remote Library and Start Reading】 Connect to a computer, NAS, or remote library through SMB, WebDAV, or OPDS.
