Paper Comic

Unsigned .ipa for sideloading (AltStore / Sideloadly / TrollStore).

Requires iOS 26 or later. On anything older the install fails with an unhelpful error rather than saying why.

iOS can't install this directly — see the README for how to sideload it and re-sign it with your own Apple ID.

What changed:

• Group Settings by appearance, page turning, portrait and landscape.
• Read portrait as one page strip and hand over to spreads on rotation.
• Add a portrait strip reading mode.

Paper Comic Reader:

A lean, native comic reader for iPhone and iPad that makes pages read like ink on paper instead of a backlit screen. Download on the App Store · Landing page.

Paper Comic Reader opens CBZ archives, keeps a library with reading progress and bookmarks, and can render every page with a realistic paper effect (ported from the Simple Comic fork) — a warm tonal remap plus a fine paper grain, so pages read like they were printed.

Built with SwiftUI and a UIKit reader core, Core Image and Metal for the paper effect. Everything runs on-device: no accounts, no network requests, no tracking or analytics.

Install:

On the App Store (easiest): Paper Comic Reader on the App Store — signed, free, auto-updating, no sideload tooling. This is the recommended way to install.
