Boundless Reader

Novels, Comics & Manga Reader

Free · Designed for iPad

You already have a library. A folder of CBZ files. A self-hosted Komga server on your NAS. A shelf of scanned PDFs and text files you've been meaning to organize. Boundless Reader is a manga, manhwa, comic, and novel reader built for that library, on one simple idea: your reading is nobody's business but yours. There's no server of Boundless's own behind your library, and no account required to use it. Sync by email and password or iCloud if you want your library on more than one device; skip it and everything just stays on this one. HOW YOUR LIBRARY GETS IN Import your own CBZ comic archives, PDFs, and plain text or Markdown files straight from the Files app or any share sheet. Browse a source through the bundled JS extension system, which ships with one working demo pointed at Komga's official public demo server, a starting point for connecting sources, not a catalog of content. Or connect your own self-hosted Komga server, or any Komga-compatible library, directly, with per-host authentication headers so private setups just work. Boundless Reader doesn't host, sell, or supply any comics, manga, or novels of its own. It's a reader for what you already have. ONE CONTINUOUS STREAM, NOT A STACK OF FILES Chapter breaks are a filing convention, not a reading experience. Boundless reads webtoon (vertical long-strip), paged, and vertical-paged content as one continuous, cross-chapter stream. Turn a page or scroll past a chapter boundary and the next chapter simply loads, in either direction, with a configurable prefetch depth so it's ready before you get there. A READING EXPERIENCE WORTH THE PRIVACY Customize nearly everything. Font family: System, Serif, Rounded, Monospaced, or a dedicated Dyslexia-Friendly face with wider tracking, taller lines, and a live preview as you pick. Font size, line spacing, paragraph spacing, and margins. Auto-scroll at your own pace, your own tap zones, and a scroll/tap cooldown so a scroll never gets misread as a page turn. Page backgrounds from paper, white, and sepia to dark and black for text, and black, dim, or white for images. Nine accent color themes, including a true flat-black Void theme built for AMOLED screens, layer independently over ten animated gradient background washes: Aurora, Midnight, Sunset, Wildfire, Rose Quartz, Emerald, Lavender, Void, Brand Wash, and Standard. Add light, dark, and AMOLED-optimized display modes, plus a choice of home screen icons. YOUR LIBRARY, KEPT IN ORDER A personal library with automatic update checks on a schedule you set. History grouped the way you'd actually look for it: Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month, then by month. Download chapters for offline reading, with auto-delete-after-reading and storage you can see and manage. Full backup and restore of your library, history, and reading progress as one portable export, whether you're moving to a new device or just want peace of mind. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT, FAMILY-READY BY CHOICE No tracking, no analytics, no ad SDKs, no data collection of any kind, declared in Apple's required privacy manifest, not just claimed in this description. A Content settings screen lets you personally blur or hide covers by maturity rating or genre across Library, Browse, and Search, a display preference for your own comfort. Separately, PIN-gated Parental Controls can actually restrict access by rating or genre on a device the whole family shares. Boundless Reader runs on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. Account optional. No catalog. No compromise.

This release focuses on Account Sync reliability, a new public profile, and a broad round of visual and performance fixes. [+] New: Founder Sponsors tab. Crediting any sponsors and donators, we've had. [+] New: multi-chapter selection in the chapter list. Long-press to select, then bulk mark-as-read, download, or delete downloads. [+] New: a public profile shelf. Pick up to five favourites (one marked as your standout) and ten more liked books from your library, shown on your profile page along with your bio, Patreon status, and a Share Profile action. [+] New: cross-device reading time now also counts novel reading, not just comics. [+] New: Auto-Scroll Speed can go much faster now, up to 300pt/s instead of capping at 60. [+] New: a Founding Sponsors link in Settings, under About. [/] Improved: Account Sync's cloud database was missing over twenty fields every synced title needs (author, summary, tags, tracking links, custom covers, and more). Library entries now sync completely instead of silently dropping most of their data. Along with cover titles from sources. [/] Improved: signing in or hitting Sync Now now actually uploads your existing library, progress, and categories. Before, only things added after you signed in ever reached the cloud. [/] Improved: the reader no longer mistakes a scanlation group's credit or title banner on a chapter's opening page for a two-page spread and zooms into it. [/] Improved: fixed a duplicate page-progress counter showing in the reader when the page-number slider was already on. [/] Improved: fixed several buttons and status icons rendering with a broken or flat outline instead of the app's usual gradient on iPad, including the library heart, a title's header actions, the chapter-selection checkmark, and empty-state icons across History, Browse, Search, and Downloads. [/] Improved: fixed the primary action, heart, and share buttons on a title's page briefly losing their gradient backgrounds entirely. [/] Improved: fixed several sources of lag when navigating and scrolling through your library and a title's page. [/] Improved: the app's home screen name is now simply "Boundless." [/] Improved: on Mac, the About section in Settings groups Version, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and Founding Sponsors into one row of tiles. [/] Improved: Bug Fixes; elements can now appear on standard background, previously only working on customs.
