About

🌟 Why did we build Manga Capsule? As a 30-something lifelong otaku, I have a huge collection of comics stored on cloud drives and local NAS. But I could never find a mobile reader that fully satisfied me: Some readers are bloated with unnecessary features, and ads and social elements ruin the reading experience; Some have poor support for large compressed archives, taking forever to load and prone to lag; Some have outdated, clunky interfaces that feel like they were designed by engineers, for engineers. Some have clunky interaction design, packed with complicated features that are impossible to figure out how to use. So, as a backend developer with years of experience, I decided to pivot to iOS indie development to build a truly pure comic reader for myself (and fellow fans): focused on local reading, bringing comics back to their core. 🔥 Core Feature Highlights

  1. Full-format support for every common type Whether it's popular formats like EPUB, MOBI, ZIP, PDF, or RAR, AZW3, CBR, CBZ, even folders full of JPG/PNG images, Manga Capsule can recognize and open them instantly.
  2. Support for all reading habits Right-to-left for Japanese comics, left-to-right for American comics, top-to-bottom for Korean manhwa – all supported. Three page-turning animation options: slide, scroll, and realistic page flip. When reading top-to-bottom on iPad, the page width automatically adjusts to fit the screen.
  3. Ultra-smooth reading engine Coming from a technical background, I have an almost obsessive pursuit of smooth performance. Preloading technology: page turns are seamless, even for extra-large high-res comic packs. Swipe to close the reader: shut it down in an instant. Long-press to zoom: solves the problem of unreadable text on phones and small-screen devices.
  4. Cutting-edge features AI Upscaling: breathe new life into old, low-resolution comics with high-definition restoration. Streaming loading: when reading from NAS or cloud storage, you don't have to wait for the full download to finish – open and read immediately, with content loading in the background as you read. Smart page splitting: when reading double-page scanned comics on your phone, pages are automatically split in half to fit your small screen perfectly. Merge next page: when you encounter large spread pages on your phone, you can temporarily merge the next page for a much better reading experience. Rotate image: some resources store spread pages rotated 90 degrees, this feature rotates them back to the correct orientation.
  5. Cloud mounting, no more storage anxiety Online reading: you can directly mount your NAS, cloud drive or personal server, and read online without downloading files to your device first. Supported protocols: WebDAV, SMB, OPDS. Supported cloud drives: iCloud, Alibaba Cloud Drive, Baidu Netdisk, Google Drive, Dropbox. Download: support downloading books from cloud drives and NAS to your local bookshelf.
  6. Bookshelf with a premium collectible feel Layout: iPad supports small, medium and large grid views, title-free mode, and list view. Sorting: smart auto-sorting, and remembers your last custom sort settings. Filtering: filter books by reading status. Import options: WiFi transfer, direct import of phone files, folder import, AirDrop, system share sheet access from other apps, USB cross-device transfer.
  7. Minimalist design No ads: no distracting content that interrupts your reading. No unnecessary permissions: only requests access for file management and reading. Clean UI: adapted to the latest iOS design language, fresh and beautiful. Also supports multiple icon packs for customization. Dark mode: no more harsh screen glare keeping you up at night. Simple interactions: all features are designed to be as easy to use as possible. Multi-language support: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean. https://mangacapsule.com/
