Glimshelf

Join

Glimshelf is a privacy-first, offline-first comic and manga reader for your own library on iPhone and iPad. It needs iOS or iPadOS 18 or later. The beta is free, with Pro included throughout testing. Start with one of the included sample comics. No account or server setup is needed. Read a few pages, enlarge some lettering, then close and reopen the book. Was anything hard to find? Did you return to the page you expected? If you already use Komga, Kavita or OPDS, you can connect your library too. Try downloading a book and reading offline, then check your saved position after reconnecting. Glimshelf also opens local CBZ, CBR, CB7, PDF and EPUB files. Please use content you have permission to test. Tell us what worked and what got in the way through Send Beta Feedback in TestFlight or support@glimshelf.com. For a problem, include your device and OS version, what you tried and what happened. Use sample content in screenshots and remove private information. Never include passwords, tokens, private server URLs, filenames, titles, page images or account identifiers. This is beta software. Background downloads and sync depend on system scheduling and connectivity. Glimshelf does not upload local diagnostics automatically; Apple/TestFlight may separately collect enabled beta feedback and crash data under Apple's controls. See this build's What to Test notes for the detailed checklist.

Dear Readers, It’s this time of the year where we get a new operating system for our devices with wonderful new features. We were hard at work to support as many as possible of them: - A redefined Widget experience: The widget was rebuilt from the ground up. Its now more colourful and supports many different sizes. In the two largest sizes, you will directly get your reading summary. - App Intents: We support App Intents now! You can start and stop reading sessions, add notes and do many other nice things by asking Siri or through the Shortcuts app. - Generated Glossary Items: We now generate glossary items from your reading notes with Apple’s local AI models. - Support for On-Screen Awareness: Ask Siri questions about the things you see on screen, like: “When is the next book of this author coming out?” Only available with Siri AI. We also have some bug fixes in store. The ones we can remember are: - Fixed a crash when trying to add a manual reading session. Thanks Luke for making us aware! - Fixed adding a manual reading session for Audiobooks. Also thanks Luke for making us aware! - Several layout fixes for books without a cover. Happy Reading!
