Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Read the magazines, comics and books you already own, straight from your own storage. The first five are free, then buy once. No subscription.
Blad is a reader for the magazines, comics and books you already own. It opens them straight from your own storage and shows them sharp on iPad.
MADE FOR TOUCH
• Swipe through full spreads in landscape, or one page at a time in portrait
• Pinch or double-tap to zoom, and drag to move around the page
• A small map shows where you are on the page when you have zoomed in
• Text mode shows a magazine page as clean, readable text
• A strip of thumbnails takes you to any page
MAGAZINES, COMICS AND BOOKS
• PDF magazines, sharp at every zoom level and in wide colour
• Comics in CBZ
• EPUB books without copy protection, with your choice of text size and reading theme, a table of contents, links and footnotes
TOOLS FOR READING BOOKS
• Bookmarks, highlights and notes, gathered in one notebook you can share
• Touch and hold a word to look it up, translate it or find it in the rest of the book
• Search the whole book
• See how much time is left in the chapter and the book, based on your own reading speed
• Skim with the scrubber or the page overview; Blad remembers where you came from
BRING YOUR OWN LIBRARY
Blad has no store and no built-in content. You connect your own storage and choose what Blad may read:
• Shared folders on your home network (SMB), for example on a NAS, PC or Mac
• OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive
• WebDAV servers, including Nextcloud, and S3-compatible storage
• Or add files straight from the Files app, or send them from your phone or computer
Blad only reads from your storage. It never changes, deletes or shares your files.
A LIBRARY THAT KEEPS ORDER
• Issues of the same magazine are grouped together, newest first
• Continue Reading picks up where you left off
• Search, filter by reading status, kind and source, and sort the way you like
• iCloud sync keeps your sources and reading progress in step between iPad and Apple TV
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account with us, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking.
