The idea

It ships empty

No catalogue, no store, nothing installed. Import files you own, or add a source repository and install sources from it, and that is your library.

Open your own files

Import a comic archive (CBZ, CBR, ZIP, RAR), an ebook (EPUB, MOBI, AZW, AZW3, PRC), a PDF, a text file (TXT, MD), or loose images (JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF) with the Import Files button in the Library. It reads offline with the same reader, fonts, and themes as everything else, and needs no account.

Read the library you host

Komga is free server software for a comic and manga library you host yourself. The official repository has a Komga Demo source that reads Komga's public demo server; "Open the Demo Library" on the Browse tab takes you there. Reading your own Komga server is not supported yet.

What leaves the device

No telemetry, and no content server of ours in the middle: your device talks to sources directly. Your library, progress, and settings stay on the device unless you turn on iCloud Sync, which uses your own iCloud, or sign in, which starts syncing them to your account so you can pick up on another device. A tracker you connect, like AniList, gets progress for the series you track.

What Boundless is

Boundless is a reader for content you bring yourself. It hosts nothing of its own, so your comics, manga, and novels all get one consistent, customizable place to be read.

See it with a real library

Boundless works well with self-hosted libraries, like Komga: free, open-source software for a comic and manga collection you already own and run yourself. Add its public demo library from here to browse for real, with Project Gutenberg alongside it for novels.

How it works

Import a file you own, or add a source. Everything you bring in shows up here, organized for you. Browse, download, and read it all with the same reader.

Opening your own files

A CBZ, EPUB, MOBI, PDF, or text file from your device reads with the same reader, fonts, and themes as everything else.

Good to know

Boundless hosts no content of its own. Your library stays on this device unless you turn on sync.

What you host on your own server, or open from your own files, stays your decision. Boundless simply reads it.

Reading

Two readers

The comic reader does Long Strip (the default), Long Strip with Gaps, and Paged in three directions. Novels get their own prose reader. Both pick up where you stopped.

Long Strip scrolling, with Infinite Scroll to run straight on into the next chapter
Tap the sides to turn the page, the middle to hide the controls
Auto-scroll at the speed you set; a long press stops it
A prose reader for novels, with resume down to the exact position

How reading works

It was a clear steel-blue day. The firmaments of air and sea were hardly separable in that all-pervading azure; only, the pensive air was transparently pure and soft, with a woman’s look, and the robust and man-like sea heaved with long, strong, lingering swells, as Samson’s chest in his sleep.

Hither, and thither, on high, glided the snow-white wings of small, unspeckled birds; these were the gentle thoughts of the feminine air; but to and fro in the deeps, far down in the bottomless blue, rushed mighty leviathans, sword-fish, and sharks; and these were the strong, troubled, murderous thinkings of the masculine sea.

But though thus contrasting within, the contrast was only in shades and shadows without; those two seemed one; it was only the sex, as it were, that distinguished them.

The prose reader

The now-reading card: series, chapter, the auto-scroll button, and a scrubber with chapter skips.

Appearance

Nine accents, nine ambient effects

Pick an accent and the whole app follows it. The home screen icon is a separate choice, on iPhone, iPad, and Android. An ambient effect is optional: snow, rain, stars, sakura, fireflies, hearts, embers, bubbles, or confetti drifting over the interface.
