3.11.3 2d ago
Tag-search selection now works when you open a tag from archive details. Choose Select, pick archives and use the batch-action toolbar without the list getting stuck.
Fixed
- Selection mode can start even while more search results are loading.
- Selecting an archive no longer leaves batch actions unavailable or restarts loading.
3.11.2 Sep 24
Resizable iPad windows now keep search suggestions and reader previews comfortably sized. Navigation and sorting are also more reliable throughout the app.
Improved
- Search suggestions and reader page previews adapt to the available window size.
- Notifications stay clear of the status area.
Fixed
- Reader controls keep the tab bar hidden while you flip pages.
- Returning from the reader restores the correct navigation bar and archive title.
- Sort options remain responsive when you open a tag search from archive details.
- Repeated sort changes no longer leave archive results stuck loading.
3.11.1 Sep 17
Manage your library faster with new batch actions across Library, Search and Categories.
New
• Select multiple archives and cache or delete them in one action.
• Add selected archives to a category, or remove them from the category you are viewing.
• Create a new Tankoubon from selected archives in the order you choose.
• Select and remove multiple offline archives directly from Cache.
Improved

• Clearer selection controls, consistent bottom toolbars and safer handling when only some items can be processed.
3.11.0 Sep 10
New
• On supported LANraragi servers, add chapters at the current page and rename or delete existing chapters from the reader.
• Long-press an archive in the library to cache it for offline reading.
Improved
• Archive tags use a more compact layout.
• Nearby pages now preload as soon as the reader opens.
Fixed
• Cached archive details now show the cache removal button.
3.10.1 Sep 6
On supported LANraragi servers, add Stamp text directly to a page while you read. Long press anywhere on a page to place a stamp, then long press an existing stamp to edit its text or delete it. Existing stamps load with each page and can be shown or hidden from the reader menu.
Upload jobs and cache progress now appear immediately when their screens open, without waiting for the next refresh. Cache downloads also count distinct valid pages so progress cannot finish early because of duplicate or unrelated files. This makes active uploads and downloads easier to follow.
3.10.0 Aug 30
Reading is steadier in this update: vertical pages no longer shift as images load, and switching to double-page mode keeps your current page in place.
Improved
• Continuous vertical reading now sizes pages before images finish loading, reducing layout shifts and preserving full-height webtoon pages.
• The Upload screen now explains how to send a URL from another app using the Share menu.
Fixed
• Switching to double-page layout now keeps the current page at the start of the spread, including after repeated layout changes and in both reading directions.
• Next-page navigation now stops correctly at the final double-page spread.
3.9.6 Aug 19
Version 3.9.5 adds optional pagination and a double-page reader toggle. Cached archives now show reading progress.
New
- Turn on pagination for library, category and search results. Jump to a page by entering its number.
- Switch between single and double-page layouts in the reader.
Improved
- The page indicator has clearer controls and supports Dynamic Type.
- Search handles multi-word queries better. Suggestions no longer cover tag search results.
- Add and remove archive tags more easily.
Fixed
- Archive lists reload correctly after changes to sorting, filters, pagination or server settings.
- "Hide Read" explains how to show archives when it removes every item from the current page.
3.9.5 Aug 11
Want to reread a finished archive? Choose "Read from beginning" from its archive menu for a one-off restart, or turn on the new reading setting to open every finished archive at page one.
New
- Added "Read from beginning" to archive menus.
- Added a setting to open finished archives at the first page.
Improved
- If iOS blocks an unencrypted HTTP server connection, LANreader now explains what happened and suggests using HTTPS.
Fixed
- The log viewer now displays and highlights Windows-style line endings correctly.
3.9.4 Aug 4
Fit each page to the full width of your screen, which makes phones and tall webtoon-style pages much easier to read. Offline archives now resume where you left off.
New
- Turn on "Fit page to width" in Read Settings to scale every page to your screen width.
Improved
- Cached archives save your reading position on the device, so offline reading opens on the page you stopped at.
- The clock and battery indicator hide along with the reader controls, so the page fills the whole screen.
- Revised the Japanese and Korean translations across the app.
3.9.3 Jul 28
Jump straight to the chapter you want. LANreader now brings chapter navigation to online archives, offline downloads and Tankoubons, making long collections easier to explore.
New
- Open the Chapters menu in the reader to see the table of contents and jump directly to a chapter.
- Use chapter navigation with regular LANraragi archives, downloaded archives in your offline cache, and Tankoubons assembled from multiple archives.
Improved
- Chapter jumps respect your reading direction and page layout for a smoother reading flow.
- Refreshed app icon artwork now looks at home in standard, dark and tinted styles.
Chapter availability depends on the table-of-contents metadata provided by your LANraragi server. If an older offline download does not show chapters, download it again to include the latest chapter information.
3.9.2 Jul 15
LANreader has been refreshed with behind-the-scenes maintenance to keep your self-hosted library experience steady.
Improved
- Updated internal request handling for better alignment with current LANraragi APIs.
- Cleaned up metadata update behaviour so archive editing stays consistent.
- Kept archive browsing, tags, search, offline cache, and reading progress flowing as before.
This release does not add a new reading feature. Update when convenient and continue using your LANraragi server as usual.
3.9.1 Jul 8
Tankoubon reading is now supported end to end, so LANraragi virtual archives open like a single title while keeping their original archive order.
New
- Open Tankoubon results directly from search and your library.
- Read all grouped archives in sequence with page progress tracked across the full Tankoubon.
- Use slider preview thumbnails and set covers through LANraragi's dedicated Tankoubon support.
Improved
- The details screen now separates Tankoubon metadata tags from merged archive tags, so editable tags are clear and grouped archive tags stay read-only.
- Tankoubon thumbnails now load correctly in archive grids, with cache and offline behaviour kept consistent with normal archives.
3.9.0 Jul 6
Your private server tools are easier to use in this update: the lock screen, upload queue and logs have all been cleaned up for smoother day-to-day reading.
Improved
- The lock screen has a clearer, calmer layout with better passcode focus, stronger visual states and smoother biometric fallback.
- Uploads now feel more organised when adding archive URLs to your LANraragi server, with clearer job cards, status labels, retry controls and empty states.
- Logs are easier to read and copy when troubleshooting your self-hosted library, with selectable text, better spacing and colour-coded fields.
- Dependency updates keep the reader current for iPhone, iPad and Apple silicon Mac.
Fixed
- Maintenance updates improve reliability around the settings and support tools used for server setup, uploads and cache workflows.

Improved:

- Kept the main app and Action extension aligned for this App Store release, so sharing archives into LANreader stays on the same build.
