Your reading.
Your server.
Your rules.

One self-hosted server for all your digital reading. Comics, eBooks, and audiobooks—unified, private, and truly yours.

Comics eBooks Audiobooks

The Problem

Your digital reading experience is broken.

Fragmented Libraries

Your comics are in one app, eBooks in another, audiobooks in a third. Finding what you want to read feels like a scavenger hunt.

Subscription Fatigue

Monthly fees add up. You pay repeatedly for access to content you already own. Your reading habits are tracked and sold.

No Real Ownership

Cloud services can remove your books anytime. DRM restricts how you read. You don't truly own your digital library.

Everything in One Place

Three media types. One unified experience.

CBZ/CBR Support

Native support for all major comic formats

Full-Screen Reader

Distraction-free reading on any device

Series Organization

Automatic series detection and ordering

Reading Progress

Sync your position across all devices

Metadata Scraping

Auto-fetch cover art, descriptions, and more

Smart Collections

Create custom collections and reading lists
