Nothing between you and the page.

01Vertical Japanese text from Aozora Bunko

Vertical text, as written

Japanese vertical text turns right to left, the way the book does. Aozora Bunko text and vertical EPUB both read the right way round.

02A library of comics, novels and Western books

Series stay together

Multi-volume works are grouped, so volume 3 follows volume 2. Books without cover art get one generated for them.

Your Mac library, in hand

Pair once with the Mac app and open anything on that Mac from your iPhone or iPad. To pair, just pick the Mac on your iPhone and the code pops up on the Mac’s screen, with no need to open Settings. Pages are prepared on the Mac, so your device never has to unpack the archive. Save a book to the device to take it with you, and your place travels between the two.

Pinch in on a panel

Small hand-lettering becomes readable when you spread two fingers. Stay zoomed in and move around the page, so nothing interrupts the panel you are following. On the Mac, pinch on the trackpad does the same.

Webtoons scroll unbroken

Tall strips are detected on their own and switch to continuous scroll. Nothing to configure.

200 pages open instantly

Large archives never keep you waiting. Only what is needed to open gets read, so moving between volumes stays fast.

Five languages included

Japanese, English, Spanish, Korean and Simplified Chinese. On Mac, choose the display language in Settings, separately from the Mac’s own language. Drop in your own translation file and the whole app follows it.

Keep reading when the NAS drops

Books on a network share are copied to your Mac while you read. Once copied, they stay readable even if the connection goes.

Try it for a month, then decide.

Every feature is available for one month from first launch. After that, a subscription keeps it going.

Get it on the App Store

If you cancel, reading stops when the period you have paid for ends.

  2. Open the downloaded file. If you are asked about installing unknown apps, allow that browser to install them.

It asks for no permissions. It does not even hold the internet permission, so Raikiri itself never connects to the network.Privacy Policy
