Foldbook: Comic & Manga Reader
Read from your NAS and iCloud
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Read the comics and manga on your NAS at home or anywhere in the world, over 5G. No VPN, nothing to set up on your router. And lend your library to your family.
Foldbook reads the comics, manga and books you already own, wherever you keep them. And your library comes with you: on the train, at work, or on holiday on the other side of the world.
YOUR LIBRARY IN YOUR POCKET, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
Hundreds of volumes sitting on your NAS at home? With Foldbook you read them over 5G, from a hotel or on the beach, just like on your couch. Tap a volume and it opens, page by page, without downloading it first.
Nothing to set up on your router, no VPN: as soon as you leave your Wi-Fi, Foldbook switches to its relay on its own. Your books stay on your NAS, and the relay passes pages along without keeping them.
Setting it up on your NAS is simple and takes two minutes. Our guide on foldbook.app walks you through it step by step. You can even hand it to your AI assistant: copy the ready-made text, and it guides you or does the install for you.
A LIBRARY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Lend your library to the people you love. Everyone reads with their own account, from their own home, and you choose what each person sees. Nobody has to buy a volume you already own.
Reading away from home and lending your library are part of Foldbook+. Reading at home stays free.
CONNECT YOUR LIBRARY
Add a folder from your NAS over SMB and Foldbook reads it in place, page by page. You don't have to download a whole volume to start reading. You can also add WebDAV servers, folders from iCloud Drive or the Files app, OPDS catalogs such as Komga, Kavita or Calibre-Web, and files from your device.
EVERY FORMAT
CBZ, CBR (RAR4 and RAR5), CB7, PDF and EPUB. Covers appear on their own, series are grouped by folder, and volume numbers are recognized in file names.
A READER BUILT FOR COMICS
• A page turn that follows your finger, drawn in real time.
• Two-page spreads on iPad and on unfolded phones, with wide double pages shown whole.
• Right-to-left reading for manga, detected from the file or remembered for each series.
• Smooth zoom, with PDF pages redrawn sharp as you zoom in.
• A page grid, bookmarks, notes, highlighted panels and a pen to draw on the page.
NOVELS TOO
EPUB books open in a paginated reader with paper, sepia and night themes, adjustable fonts and spacing, highlights in four colors, notes and a table of contents.
PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
A volume started on iPad continues on iPhone, and even on Android. Without an account, your progress is saved on your NAS; with the optional account, your setup, reading and notes follow you to every device. Your books stay at home.
OFFLINE
Download a volume or a whole series for the plane or the train, and remove it in one tap when you're done.
FOLDBOOK+
Foldbook+ is available monthly, with a 7-day free trial, or yearly. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, in your App Store account settings. Your guests read for free.
Foldbook doesn't sell or include any books. It reads the files you already have.

What's new in 1.2
• Pick up where you left off: a book you left open reopens at launch, even on another of your devices.
• Novels are grouped by series (all the Harry Potter books together) and by genre. Create your own categories and file several books at once.
• Sort your library from A to Z or by recently added.
• Change a book's cover: pick one found online, or an image from your photos. It follows your account, and your guests see it too.
• A light vibration with every page turn on iPhone, adjustable.
• On iPhone Duo, no more line between the two pages while turning, plus other fixes.
