Offline reader for CBZ, CBR, PDF & EPUB — comics and ebooks, no ads, no login.
Panel Harbor is a fast, beautiful, and completely offline comic reader built
for people with large personal libraries. No account, no cloud sync, no ads
—
The only reader here that goes beyond CBZ and CBR: full EPUB support, including fixed layout, embedded images, and metadata — read your comics and your ebooks side by side, without switching apps.
—
just your comics, organized the way you actually read them.
**Every format, one app**
Read CBZ, CBR/RAR, PDF, and EPUB (including fixed-layout EPUBs with embedded
images and metadata) side by side in a single library — no need to juggle
multiple reader apps for different file types.
**Built for real reading**
Fit-page, fit-width, and pinch-to-zoom viewing modes, full landscape support
for tablets and phones, and native right-to-left reading for manga alongside
standard left-to-right comics.
**Library Health, not just a library**
Panel Harbor scans your collection and tells you what's actually wrong with
it: missing issues in a run, possible duplicate files, broken or corrupted
files that won't open, and comics missing a cover. No more discovering gaps
in your collection issue by issue.
**Stays organized on its own**
Automatic series grouping, smart shelves (Unread, In Progress, Finished,
Favorites), custom categories, full-text search, and Continue Reading so you
always land back exactly where you left off — down to the page.
**Everything stays on your device**
Panel Harbor reads only the folders you explicitly choose via Android's
Storage Access Framework. Your comic files, reading history, and metadata are
never uploaded anywhere. There is no account, no login, no analytics, and no
advertising — ever.
**Your library, backed up your way**
Export a portable JSON backup of your reading progress, organized metadata,
and reader preferences, and restore it any time — no cloud required.
**Also included**
- ComicInfo.xml metadata support
- Cover caching for a fast, smooth library grid
- Bookmarks and Favorites
- Automatic "Next Issue" so you can keep reading without going back to the
library
- Long-press actions to manage or remove comics from your library (your
original files are never deleted)
Panel Harbor is built for readers who own their collection and want a
reader that respects that — no subscriptions, no cloud lock-in, no
compromises.
Private by design:
PanelHarbor does not require an account and does not contain advertising, analytics, or social features. Your library is accessed only after you select a folder through Android’s system file picker.
PanelHarbor does not include, download, or sell comics. You provide your own DRM-free PDF and CBZ files.
