The reader

Pages that turn like paper.

Manga turns from the right, so Bokumi does too. Swipe and the page lifts, curls and settles. On iPad and in landscape you get the whole open spread, spine and all.

Everything in its place

A reader that stays out of the way.

Your shelf, beautifully kept.

Covers first. Sort and group the way you shelve real books, jump to Continue reading with one tap, and see unread counts without opening anything.

A calmer series page.

A full-bleed poster, your progress, and a Continue button that opens the book straight away. Chapters stay out of your way until you want them.

Reading, tuned to you.

Fit the page to the screen, the width or the height. Choose your tap zones, your page transition and your reading mode, for the whole app or for a single series.

Always where you left off.

A history that remembers the exact page, a Continue reading shelf at the top of your library, and progress that keeps up across your devices.

Webtoon & long strips

Or just keep scrolling.

Long strips open in webtoon mode by themselves. Set the side padding, turn on auto-scroll, and let the chapter run into the next without a seam.

  • Automatic webtoon detection, with a per-series override
  • Tap zones, double-tap zoom and fit-to-width, height or screen
  • Auto-scroll at the speed you pick
  • Chapters load ahead, so the strip never stalls

Make it yours

42 themes. Two are free.

Six collections that each tint the whole app differently, from dusty Soft and deep Night to Ink & Paper. Light and dark, tinted text, pure black for OLED. Pick one and the reader follows.

Reading Insights

Time spent, streaks, your last 30 days and the series you read most.

Yours to lock down.

App lock, an incognito switch that pauses history and tracking, and haptics you can tune.

Your shelf, your books

Bring your own books.

Bokumi comes as an empty, well-lit shelf, with no manga of its own. Fill it with what you own, from wherever you keep it. Bringing your books in is always free.

Files you own.

CBZ, ZIP, picture-based EPUB and folders of images, from the Files app, AirDrop or a drag on iPad. A folder becomes a series, and every volume inside it a chapter.

Your server, at home.

Keep your collection on a computer or NAS? Add the extension for your server and read your whole collection from the sofa. With Plus, your progress syncs back to it.

Sources you set up.

Install an extension from a file or from a repository you trust, or write one yourself in an afternoon. Each runs in its own sandbox. Bokumi ships with none.

Coming from another reader app? Restore its backup, and your series, progress and history come with you.

How to bring your books

Privacy

No ads. No analytics. No account.

Your library, progress and downloads live on your device. If you turn on sync, they travel through your own private iCloud, which Apple encrypts and which counts against your iCloud storage, never ours. Passwords and tracker tokens stay in the iOS Keychain and are never backed up or synced.

Questions

The short answers.

More in the FAQ and the guides, or ask us.

What is Bokumi?

A cozy manga and comics reader for iPhone and iPad: a shelf, a calm series page, five reading modes, themes, widgets and sync. It is a reader app, like a web browser for your books: it hosts nothing and comes with no manga, comics or sources of its own.

How do I get my books in?

Import CBZ, ZIP, EPUB files or whole folders from the Files app, read from a server you run at home, or add a source you set up yourself. The bring your own books guide shows every way.

What can I read in it?

What you own or have the right to read: books you bought without copy protection, your own work, the public domain, and what creators share freely. Bokumi does not condone piracy, and our terms forbid it.

Is Bokumi free?

Reading is free, and so is bringing your books in. Bokumi Plus adds themes, widgets, sync, downloads, tracking, automatic backups and more. All sales are final.

Which devices does it run on?

iPhone and iPad on iOS 18 or later, and Macs with Apple silicon through “Designed for iPad”. Liquid Glass shows up on iOS 26. Android: Coming soon.

Does Bokumi collect my data?

No ads, no analytics, no account. Your shelf lives on your device, and sync goes through your own private iCloud.

Ready when you are.

A cozy reader for iPhone and iPad. Free to read, with Plus when you want the rest.
