Ninth is a comic reader for people who own their comics. It turns the
files you already have into a library worth getting lost in — no account,
no subscription, no lock-in.
EVERY FORMAT THAT MATTERS
CBZ, CBR, CB7, PDF, and fixed-layout EPUB, with embedded ComicInfo and
ComicBookInfo metadata read straight from your files.
A READER BUILT FOR COMICS
Two-page spreads, right-to-left manga, vertical webtoons, page curl, and
Live Text on any panel — copy, translate, even lift characters as
stickers. Guided view walks the page panel by panel, with automatic
detection and a built-in editor when a page deserves better.
YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED
Series, creators, characters, and story arcs identified against the Grand
Comics Database. Reading lists that span series, with gaps filled in and
estimated reading time. Cover stacks, grids, and shelves; smart lists
that stay current.
SYNC WITHOUT A MIDDLEMAN
Your library and progress sync privately through your own iCloud between
iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Files live in your iCloud Drive — drop comics into
the Ninth folder and they import on every device.
BRING YOUR OWN CLOUD
Browse and import from Dropbox, or connect OPDS, Komga, and Kavita
servers — stream or download, with read progress synced back.
EVEN PAPER COMICS
Scan physical issues page by page with the built-in scanner —
auto-straightened, tagged, filed like any other comic.
LOCK WHAT'S YOURS
Face ID or passcode in front of any comic, list, or collection.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no ads, no tracking. See theninth.app/privacy.
