Phyla

Your comics, manga and graphic novels, sorted by series, on iPhone and iPad.

Coming soon to the App Store
The Library on iPad: the list of series on the left, a series page on the right, with the missing volume 7 shown as a dashed slot

A library that sorts itself

Series, volume, omnibus and creators, from file names and ComicInfo.xml. Each series gets its own page, with the volume to pick up next.

The Read tab on iPhone: the comic in progress, new arrivals and the next volume

Spot the gaps

A missing volume shows up as an empty slot. Complete series earn a gold seal.

A series page on iPhone: 11 of 12 volumes, volume 7 is missing

Your NAS, nothing to install

Phyla reads the comics on your NAS directly over SMB. A folder added on your iPhone shows up on your iPad too.

Connecting to a NAS: address, user name and password

A reader built for comics

CBZ, CBR, PDF and image folders. Two-page spreads in landscape, continuous scrolling, a thumbnail strip.
