Halftone is a comic and manga reader that works with files on a device as well as existing home servers and cloud folders. It connects to Komga, Kavita, Audiobookshelf, OPDS catalogs, SMB shares, WebDAV, Dropbox, OneDrive, and iCloud Drive. Readers can stream chapters, download them for offline use, and sync reading progress with supported sources. Comic-specific tools include right-to-left page turns, double-page spreads, webtoon scrolling, panel-by-panel viewing, hold-to-zoom, border cropping, and on-device image upscaling. The free tier supports a local library, while Premium unlocks server and cloud connections and additional reader tools; the listing offers a lifetime unlock or subscription and a 24-hour trial. It supports iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Users need to provide their own comics, and DRM-protected books may not open. The current listing has few ratings, so compatibility with a particular library server should be checked first.
